PROSPERITY AHEAD
GENERAL SMUTS’S IMPRESSION OF ERITONS N.Z.P.A. Special Correspondent. LONDON, Nov. 27. “Britain has what I call a human capital. The contribution of this country will continue to be on a grand scale—it will be greater than its war effort,” said General Smuts, in acknowledging conferment of the freedom of Southhampton. “ I have no doubt," he said, “ that what the British people have sown in blood and tireless energy will be reaped in a great harvest of prosperity and happiness. There is at the moment a great deal of bickering and misunderstanding, but just behind that cloud there is a new era in human relationships.” During the ceremony General Smuts was presented with a number of personal relics of President Kruger found at Pretoria on June 4, 1900, during the Boer War. They included a pipe, a penholder, a paper knife, and a date stamp, and were presented by Mr T. A. Rowe, of Weymouth, a son of a Dorset Imperial Yeomanry officer who brought them to Britain.
