AGE OF BRUTALITY
THE LEAGUE MISSED
SOUTH AFRICA TO PUT HER HOUSE IN ORDER
FAITH IN NAVY
(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.) CAPE TOWN, March 28. General Smuts, Minister of Justice, in a speech today, announced South Africa's determination speed-
ily to put her house in order. He declared that the world would not emerge from the present age of brutality till the League of Nations had been re-established.
The world, he said, had suffered
an immeasurable loss in the downfall of the League. There were in its absence no platforms on which the nations could meet and the position might even deteriorate. An organisation like the League, once broken, was difficult to restore.
General Smuts added that South Africa would do her utmost' to safeguard herself. She must maintain the closest touch with other raera i hers of the Empire. Her surest shield was the Royal Navy, because the issue of freedom must be fought out on the ocean.
