A detailed study of the political climate in South Africa at the time of the Pact government between Hertzog and Smuts. During this period, the issue of 'Race' in South African politics had reference to the relations between English-speaking white citizens and their Afrikaner counterparts. The author explores the tensions that existed, particularly as Afrikaners gained greater political influence under Hertzog, and the perception by some English-speakers of pro-Afrikaner bias on the part of the government. Subjects receiving special attention include the Gold Standard crisis, and the extremist character of the pro-Dominion Natal English-speakers. "Met die bewindsaanvaarding van die Pakt-regering in 1924 het 'n heel ander politieke opset ingetree. Vir die eerste keer sedert Uniewording was daar 'n oorwegend Afrikaanssprekende regering aan bewind. By die meerderheid lojaalgesinde Engelssprekendes in die S.A. Party is die vrees ingeskerp dat hul Britse identiteit deur 'n vloedgolf van Afrikaner-nasionalisme verswelg sou word. Dit sou meewerk dat die onderlinge verhouding tussen die twee blanke taalgroepe gespanne sou raak. Dit was veral toe die Eerste Minister, genl. J.B.M. Hertzog, Suid-Afrika se grondwetlike ondergeskiktheid aan Brittanje in die reine wou bring. Die opheffing van hierdie vraagstuk met die Balfour-verklaring in 1926 en die Statuut van Westminster in 1931, is die skerp verdelingslyn tussen die twee blanke taalgroepe grootliks beëindig veral toe Hertzog beklemtoon het dat afskeiding van die Britse Ryk en republikanisme geen praktiese politiek van sy Party meer was nie."
