Manawatu Herald THURSDAY, SEPTEMB, 8, 1921. A SOLUTION FOR IRELAND.
ADDRESSING a gathering of the South African community in* London, on his return from Ireland, General Smuts said that in his opinion the great, problem in Ireland was soluble. All must help, if there was a bitter atmosphere, to create a better one. They must all set less store by antipathy, and more by human goodwill, and in the determination to wipe out what Imd been a real stain on the record of the Empire. If that was done they would succeed. He said the problem was soluble because he had seen it Solved in his own country in circumstances not so embittered as in Ireland, but certainly difficult., If ever the problem of the subjection of one people to another presented hopeless feelings it was Africa, but in the spirit of give and take and surrendering something to the point of view of the other side, they solved that, problem, and South Africa today was one of the happiest of the countries in the Empire. Sacrifice was the best thing a human being could do. General Botha taught them that lesson in South Africa.
