The movement he had started went on its way without him. General Hertzog now heads a Cabinet of Ministers recruited from among the leaders of both the Nationalist and South African Parties, General Smuts being in charge of the Department of Justice. Anti-Dutch and anti-British agitation is silenced, for the time being, and the popular slogans of the day are National Unity and Economic Recovery. Subsequently, the Provincial congresses of the Nationalist Party in Transvaal, Orange Free State, and Natal have expressed themselves in favor of fusion with the South African Party.
A foreign observer will notice this similarity more easily than an Afrikaner, who, intent on being and proving himself to be un-English, is more keenly aware of the little differences that mark his Afrikaans individuality. They set great store, as do the English, by good features and correct appearance, a trait in which they differ from the Dutch. In Holland it is not considered either charitable or good form to judge a person by such externals, character being held to be the only thing that counts.
The veld has produced this offshoot of the speech of Holland, it is peculiarly adapted to the life of the veld, and he who seeks to portray that lifa in words and give literary expression to the inner life of the veld dwellers, has no better means of expressing it than Afrikaans. How true this is appears from the case of the brothers S. B. and G. C. Hobson, sons of an English father and both speakers of English in their own homes. They made their literary debut with a tale in Afrikaans called "Kees van die Kalahari", of which a baboon is the hero and the veld and rocky mountain scenery the background.
