In cross-examination by the de- fendant, witness denied that, he pushed the former off the bus.
A Chinese passenger corroborat- ed the conductor's evidence and in reply to the defendant, said that after the two men had alighted, the complainant struck the defen- dant with his money bag.
General Hertzog, replying, emphasised the value of close con- tact in removing misunderstari- inge, quarrels and bickerings. That was why he appreciated the Imperial Conference, where the delegates had contact giving the necessary confidence and under- standing. He added that South Africa and India were trying to, come into closer contact, They had had considerable differences In the past, but he was convinced that with a better mutual under- standing they would be prepared to meet one another's require- ments.
General Hertzog was loudly cheered when he made remark, quoted at the beginning. He con- cluded by hoping that during the remainder of their labours they would continue in the happy spirit in which Mr. Burdwan and
