“BARBED WIRE” WALLS
DUNDEE, Scotland, Oct. 19.
General Jan Smuts, of South Africa, to-day denounced economic “barbed wire” in a speech delivered here. “A new idea is growing up in the world to-day,” General Smuts said, “a new idea called economic nationalism, whore people try to keep themselves going and enrich themselves at tho expense of others. We are trying in tho world a new system of building up walls between us and our neighbors. . We are trying to import the methdds of the Great War on the Western Front into commercial relationships of peaceful life. “ ‘Barbed wire’ entanglements, fences and ‘No Man’s Land’ seem to be growing up around every country and the people think that they can maintain themselves aijd get on the road to recovery in that way.’’
