SOUTH AFRICA’S STAND.
PUT HER HOUSE IN ORDER. FAITH IN BRITISH NAVY. CAPETOWN, March 28. General Smuts (Minister of Justice) in a speech to-day, announced South Africa’s determination speedily 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-establishod. 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 members of the Empire. Her surest shield was the Royal Navy, because freedom must be fought out on the ocean.
