WISE STATEMENT
COMMENT OF TIMES Rec. 10 p.m. London, Nov. 13. The Times, commenting on General Smuts’ speech, regrets that a statement so wise had not come from the lips , of: a member of the Cabinet of the British Commonwealth as General Smuts understands it.
“He has his feet in both worlds, the old and the new,” says the Times. “The Dominions have even stronger affiliations than Great Britain with the United States. The latter and the Dominions alike would be estranged from the League of Nations if it were transformed into a fighting machine pledged to carry out decisions by force of arms. “The League was designed first and foremost to be a round table conference, of nations. In that capacity it represents a framework of a collective system which must be regionally built up.”
