Determined To Put Her House In Order FAITH IN BRITISH NAVY By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. (Received March 28, 7.55 p.m.) CAPE TOWN, March 28. General Smuts, Minister of Justice, in a speech today, announced South Africa’s determination speedily to put her house in order. He declared that the world would not emerge from the present age of brutality till the League oi Nations had been re-established
The world, he said, had suffered an immeasurable loss in the downfall of the League. There were in its absence no platforms on which the nations could meet and the position might even deteriorate. An organization like the League, once broken, was difficult to restore. General Smuts added that South Africa would do her utmost to safeguard herself. She must maintain the closest touch with other members of the Empire. .Pier surest shield was the Royal Navy, because freedom must be fought out on the ocean.
