VERY PROMISING.
South Africa's Future As Smuts Sees It.
LECTURE IN LONDON.
(British Official Wireless.) (Received 12 noon.)
RUGBY, October IT.
General Smuts, who is visiting England to deliver Rhodes lectures at the Oxford University, gave an address in London last night on South Africa's future.
He said that in spite of all their historic difficulties great progress had been made towards better understanding and better national relations, and he was hopeful that this progress would be maintained. They had very difficult problems before them which concerned not only South Africa itself but also the young British nations now growing farther to the north and, indeed, in the whole African continent.
The people of South Africa were more and more beginning to realise that they had a miesion of great significance and a new sense of responsibility was springing up which was certain to have a sobering effect on the rising generation, and which would prove helpful for the future.
This feeling was certain to lead to a more mature handling of the great human problems before them. About the material future of South Africa he had no doubt whatever.
