The anti-Semitic Nationalist Republican Party of Dr. D.F. Malan and the parliamentary group led by ex-Premier J.B.M. Hertzog tonight announced an agreement for mutual cooperation against the Union government and issued a statement calling for “a republican form of government separated from the British crown.” The agreement on cooperation between the opposition groups is subject to the approval of congresses of both groups.
The announcement followed by a day defeat in the Union House of Assembly of a resolution introduced by Gen. Hertzog calling for a separate peace with Germany. The Hertzog resolution was beaten by 81 votes to 59, giving the government of Gen. Jan Christian Smuts four more votes than had been anticipated.
