Despite the success which has attended the efforts of the Nazis in Germany, the movement is making little or no headway in South-West Africa, the Johannesburg “Sunday Times” writes in a message from its indhoek correspondent.

A prominent German told me, the correspondent says, that he was of opinion that less than two per cent. of the German population were avowed Nazis. The local group, he said, were mainly composed of young men who had recently immigrated from Germany. There was no responsible old residents of South-West Africa among the followers of Hitler here. This, he said, was not because of any antipathy towards the movement, but merely because they were not directly interested.
