General Smuts acknow.edging the conferment of the Freedom of York, declared the financial situation must be retrieved. It woulct be disastrous ,to humanity if Britain's word lost authority in the Council of Nations, liritons owing their honesty and integrity, inul saddled themselves with a. burden of which competitors, by repudiating post war liabilities, had re lieved themselves. The breaking point had to come Britons would not fail in their duty, but must marshad the Empire’s vast resources if the pound was not to follow the mark. Govei nnient must operate carefully and devise schemes not to allow anti-deflation to go over, for Britain had tried to procure sound finance in the world which did not practice it. You are in for a strugge as grave as any in your existence, but 1 would b‘t my bottom dollar the nation will pull through.”
