ATTACK ON NAZI POLICY
GENERAL SMUTS WILL DEFEND JEWS
CRITICISM OF ATTACKS ON FREEDOM United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received November 8, 8.55 p.m.) LONDON. November 8. General J. C. Smuts (Deputy-Leader of the South African Union), at a luncheon at which £SOOO was subscribed for the benefit of German Jewish women and children,, said that he remembered when German Jews were regarded as the flower of Judaism, and among the most cultured people of the world. It was appalling to think that human beings were not to be free to develop along their own lines, but were to be cast into a mould and forced into a certain type—that they were not to develop in the image of God but in the image of a man who ought to be in a lunatic asylum. General Smuts added that he did not want to criticise Germany as a nation. She was as much sinned against as sinning. “We must care for the wreckage,” he concluded.
