Reds in South Africa, Too.

Captain Town, according to the London Telegraph’s Cape Town, correspondent, Mr. Malan, the acting prime minister, announced in the house of assembly that the government would Introduce a bill dealing w’ith bolshevist propaganda in South Africa. The announcement, though viewed askance by the laborists, has otherwise given general satisfaction. It was stated recently on high authority that native discontent was never more pronounced than now. Various revolutionary and socialist bodies, largely composed of Russian and other aliens, have been issuing bolshevist lit<«rature in the native languages. In a recent prosecution in Moritzburg a leaflet printed in Zulu, calling upon the natives to strike off their chains and free themselves, was read in court.- The general feeling is that the circulation of such incitements is highly dangerous, and that alien and bolshevist agitators should be deported.
