Havenga, former Minister of Finance in South ~frica and General Hertzog's right hand man, administered a cold douche to those prof~ssing Republican sentiments in an address to his constituents in the Orange Free State. While agreeing with other Opposition leaders that a decision for a Republic rested on the . broad national will of the people, he pointed out that South African national sentiment today did not fovour a Republic. Practically none of the English-speaking people would support a change to Republicanism, nor would a great proportion of the Afrikaans-speaking people countenance such a change. Mr. Havenga, who held the Portfolio of Finance for 15 years before the recent change in Government sent him into Oppositicn, has freQuently visited Great Britain for Imperial and Economic Conferences.

DURING THE WORLD WAR OF 1914-1918, the Chevrons Club provided a home and social centre for all ranks mentioned above in the forces of the Empire, whether on home service or on leave from overseas. . It provided in the course of one year alone 82,000 beds and 145,000 meals, t ogether with full opportunities for rest and privacy.. The men who wear the Chevrons form the link between the men who command and the rank and file, and by reason of their character, experience and leadership, may fairly be said to form the backbone of the Services. The Chevrons Club was dedicated to such men as these during the last war by a generous and grateful public, and stands today as a worthy tribute of the admiration and respect which they inspired. A gr eat war is upon us again which calls for all the resources of the Empire. 1To restore to full strength and re-equip this essential Club, founded exclusively for these ranks of the Services, the sum of £50,000 is required, ancl that most urgently. This money is needed for immediate necessities ( an overseas call has already been made) and f or the acquisition and equipment of more commodious premises. Contributions will be gratefully received by the Honorary Treasurer, T.HE RT. HON.

The Berlin correspondent of the Amsterdam "Handelsblad1; in an interview with the German Grand Admiral Raeder duri:.1g the second week of September9 asked a number of questions relating to the conduct of the war at sea. Asked about minefields, Ac.lmiral Raeder replied that the laying of minefields would be announced according to the Hague Convention of 1907. Two of the articles of the "COl'I1_{.:~NTION JCLATIVE TO THE LAYING OF' AUTOMATIC SUBllAIUNE CONTACT MINES (NO.VJ;;II)" run as follows :­ "It is forbidden to lay automatic contact mines off the coasts and ports of the enemy? with the sole object of intercepting commercial navigation. "When anchored automatic contact mines are employed, ever>y possible precaution must be taken for the security of peacef'ul navigation. "The belliger>ents undertalce to provide 1 as fa:r as possible, for these mines becoming harmless after a limited time has elapsed, and, where the mines cease to be under observation, to notify the danger zones as soon as military exigencies permit, by a notice to mariners, which mus t also be comnru.nicated to the Governments through the diplomatic channels". In spite of Admiral Raeder's assurance German U-boats 9 after eleven weelcs of war, ar>e already making a practice of laying minefields in the channels used by merchantmen on their side of the North Sea. In no circumstances can the laying of such minefields be considered otherwise than in direct contravention of the laws of war and the word of Admiral Raeder. INDI~. OFPICE COMMUNIQl]E. 20/11/39 .

Hard training is the order of the day and aerial reconnaissances have also been carried outo Much of the troop$ spare time is spent in sea bathing and altogether they lead a healthy and active lifeo The health of the force is also uniformly good and malaria is practically non-existent.

NOT FOR PUBLICATION OR BROADCASTIHG ~FORE A.M. 21ST NOVELBER, 1939. The following is placed at the disposal of the Press, B.B.C., and British Official Wireless, and of the Neutral Press, for such use as they may desire to make of it. It is not an official statement. Twenty-one years ago -at a quarter past two on the morning of November 21st, 1918, the British Grand Fleet under the command of Admiral Sir David Beatty, left its bases and was formed in two gigantic columns steaming to the eastward. 'l'hcre vvere thirteen sq_uadrons in that Fleet and daylight revealed an aJ..most endless vista of British sea power -the ships which had kept the sea for more than four long years, and converted the pride of the Gennan High Seas Fleet into the vicious, but futile, snapping of a cornered rat. It was not long before H.I1.L S. "Castor", leading the destroyer flotillas in the van, sighted those who had been her ~nemies, but who were now noi;.hing but the wreck of a grs;mdiose dream. By half past nine H.M.S. 11Cardiff11 had led the German ships between the two qreat columns of British warships, and Sir David Beatty turned his Fleet about to escort them to ignominious surrender and internment. Further South, Admiral Tyrwhitt had already received the surrender of the first batch of the German U-hoats, which had shocked the world by their unrestricted warfare against neutral shipping and non-combatants. The White Ensign had supplanted that of Germany over the sinister shapes of the te~rors of the sea. But Admiral Tyrwitt and his men did not wish to give any demonstration of triumphing over a defeated enemy. Th0re were no cheers -only a silence as significant as the occasion. It was the same further north. As the pride of the German High Seas Fleet was escorted to its inmrnment the British Grand Fleet was silent. Only after it was anchored,and H.M.S. 11 Queen Elisabeth", flagship of Sir David Beatty, .steamed into harbour, did cheers ring out. Then they were fo~ a victorious 2 and well loved Commander-in-Chief, who had seen thorn faithfully th~ough many dark hours, rather than for a man who had brought his enemy in on the end of a string. The German ships which arrived in the Firth of Forth on that dny consisted of nine battleships, five battle cruisers, seven light cruisers and forty-nine destroyers -there were the ba t tleships "Fried.rich der Grosse" , "Kt!mig Albert", "Kaiser", 11 Kronprinz Wi lhelm11 , 11 Kaiserin", "Bayern", "Markgraf" , 11 Prinzregent Luitpold", and "Grosser KUrfurst", the battle cruisers "Seydlitz", "Derfflinger", 11 Von der Tann11 , "Hindenburg" , 11 Moltke" , and the light cruisere "KarlarUhe", ilFrankfurt" , ilEJnden", "NUrnberg11 , aBrummer", 11 Cl:;ln", "Bremse11 , and the forty-nine destroyers. Soon after they had anchored, the British Commander-in­Chief made the signal which will live for all time in naval history:­;'The German Ensign is to be lowered at sunset to-day, and is not to be hoisted again without permission. 11 That was twenty-one years ago. Now another regime in Germany has invented a new naval Ensign and is seeking to emulate the attempts of the old German Imperialism to dominate the world. Once again the White Ensign is called upon as the syrnbol of freedom and justice upon the Seven Seas, to q_uell and destroy this voracious upstart. After the surrender of the German High Seas Fleet, Admiral Sir David Beatty addressed the Officers ana. men of .the battle squadron detailed to be their warders. He pointed out that the German Navy hacl forfeited its claims to being a great and honoured Service. This was because it had resorttec.'1. to illegal and unrestricted warfare upon non-combatants -men, women and children -irrespective of whether they belonged to belligerent or neutral countries. 11 Their methods of conducting warfare have been a nightmare to tho8e who have been imbued, as the British sailor has, with the chivalry of the seas -and that is m:>t a thi.ng to be lightly put on one side." 3 For twenty-one years the British Empire.has been trying to believe that those words wore true only of 1914 to 1918, but the r ecent activities of the Germany Navy -the indiscriminate sinking at si ght of British and neutral merchant ships, vv:ithout any regard for the safety of their passengers or crews, the laying of mines in defiance of I nternational law, nnd with the obvious intent of inflicting loss upon non-combatants, be they belligerent or neutrals, forces the conclusion that the Gennan Navy of to-day is being forced to ibllow the worst of the examples set by its forbears a quarter of a century ago. The British and French Navies wi 11 not fail in their duty, and they are well aware that there can be no chivalry or freedom until the signal i s made and enforced. -11 The Swastika is to be hauled. down and not hois ted again without the permission of civi lisation. 11 UNOFFICIAL ST./J:TEMENT FOR THE USE OF 20/11/39 No. THE PRESS AS TF~Y WISH CONFIDENTIAL This is by the authorityof the India Office, who must not be quoted.
