SOUTH AFRICA IN WAR
UNSURPASSED EFFORT
"NO BETTER ARMY ON ANY
FRONT"
(Rec. 9 a.m.) CAPE TOWN, Sept. 25,
In a speech at Queenstown, the Prime Minister,' Field-Marshal Smuts, said that despite almost unbearable provocation the country had achieved a war effort unsurpassed in the world. There was no better army on any front than the force of 150,000 South Africans which had been fully equipped by the Union itself.;
The lesson of the South African War was that of co-operation, patience, and tolerance.. "All we have done has not been done by a united people; it has been done with a hopelessly divided people," he said. "Sometimes I ask myself what would have been achieved if we really had been united."
