Wlieu speaking at the League of Nations dinner at the-Guildhall, General Smuts said that if a serious reduction of navies is. agreed to in January the way would be open to attack the more difficult subjects of military and aerial warfare, which constituted .the most serious danger to civilisation. He was doubtful about President Hoover’s suggestion of immunity for , food, ships. As soon as the first shot was fired in war time humanising expedients were apt to go by the board. War was inexpressibly barbarous and could not be effectively humanised, but its utter inhumanity would be its undoing. ■ A-VISIT TO AMERICA. - . SERIES OF-ADDRESSES.
