Smuts, in a speech on the international situation, said: “We have, had serious setbacks, but the title lias turned, and there are many indications that victory will again be ours. It is a harder task this time, but we go on. We want'to take our part in the holding up of a free world, and standing with those who have stood by us for generations. I have no doubt when it is all over, it will be generally admitted that South Africa in a vital moment of her history, chose rightly, however difficult the choice may have been.”
