PLEA FOR MODERATION
BUILDING OF NEW WORLD JUSTICE WITH HUMANITY (Rec. 8.30 p.m.) CAPETOWN, Aug. 16. General Smuts, in a speech at the unveiling of a statue of General Botha at Pretoria, movingly appealed for the application of General Botha’s policy of conciliation in writing world peaces saying that if General Botha
were alive he would build a new world, as he had built a new South Africa. Moderation would be his keyword rather than retaliation, vengeance, and hatred. “ Following General Botha’s lead, let us leave vengeance to God and His eternal law of cause and effect, and temper our justice with moderation and humanity,” General Smuts said.
