NEXT EUROPEAN WAR
"CHILD OF TREATY” HERTZOG’S CONDEMNATION. Press Association Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received Wednesday, 12.10 p.m.) PRETORIA, Tuesday. General Hertzog, in denouncing the Versailles Treaty, saysi that it was responsible for the existing international distrust and armaments race. “The victor of 1919 feels that he has a sacred right in 1937 to demand submission from the vanquished to the terms of a treaty of which European peoples are never reminded without repugnance and disgust,” he said. “The result is that the vanquished persist with the same resistance and stubborn opposition as in 1919. Unless there is a fundamental change in the mentality of the European leaders the next European war will be the child of the Treaty of Versailles.” General Hertzog said that South Africa should continue to support the League of Nations, but co-operation with Europe in peace and war was 1 a question for South Africa alone to decide.
