NAVAL PACT
SMUTS’ VIEW. (United Press Association.— By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) NEW YORK, December 31. General Smuts, in a wireless message, says: “To my mind, the ultimate result of the London Naval Conference will depend mainly on whether the question of naval armaments is approached from the standpoint of national requirements, or the standpoint that the Peace Pact creates a new situation, and is to bo “lived up to by all signatories. If national need is the standpoint, the whole question will be considered in a war atmosphere, No real progress will be made. The Comiference may even lead to the increase of armaments. If the Peace Pact is the standard, there is no reason why very substantial reductions should not be made, as anticipated by President Hoover in liis Armistice Day speech.”
