SOUTH AFRICA.
TRIBUTE TO GENERAL SMUTS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Feb. 13. The Capetown correspondent of The Times, in a striking tribute to General Smuts, says that, with marvellous energy, brilliance and devotion he personally conducted the campaign and is mainly responsible for its success. Never in the history of South African politics has the personality of a single individual counted for so much. Two other important factors contributing to the secessionist debacle were. —first, the desire of the English-speak-ing community to meet the Dutchspeaking people in a great joint effort to obliterate racialism; secondly, the conviction of the sane elements of the utter fatuity of republicanism and the realisation by the Dutch of the economic defensive and financial advantages of a partnership in the Commonwealth.
