SMUTS ON SITUATION
DANGEROUS AS GREAT WAR
EUROPEAN BREAKDOWN |
(Received 25th August, 1.30 p.m.) LONDON, 24th August. General Smuts, interviewed on his arrival in England, said that in some ways the present situation in Britain was as dangerous as the Great War was, and might ultimately demand the same spirit of national and personal sacrifice. Some people -were still oppressed with the thought o£ another war. "I am far more impressed," he said "with the possibility of a financial and economic breakdown, possibly endangering the whole structure of European civilisation. President Hoover has given a fine lead. If this is boldly followed while yet there is time, Europe may pull through."
