SOUTH AFRICAN AID TO BRITAIN
PROMISE BY GENERAL SMUTS CAPE TOWN, August 26. General Smuts, Prime Minister of South Africa, promised in a speech at Bloemfontein that South Africa would give a helping hand to Britain in her present difficulties. “It is most important for South Africa to keep her friends and to see that nothing happens to the British Empire or the United Kingdom,” he said. "It is of the greatest importance to South Africa that Britain should not be allowed to go towards a fate which would affect South Africa. We have been discussing in the past couple of days the best way of helping South Africa and Britain.”
