AT WHATEVER COST
SOUTH AFRICA ADVISED TO PREPARE ADDRESS BY GENERAL SMUTS LAWLESSNESS PERMEATING THE WORLD By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. ( BLOEMFONTEIN, November 4. “A spirit of lawlessness permeates the world and what recently happened in Europe is a warning that South Africa should put her 'house in order.” declared General Smuts, speaking at the United Party Congress today. He added that even if it cost millions of pounds, South Africa must look after herself.
“We must hold what we have and we are not going to allow, through weakness or unpreparedness, any enemy to pluck South Africa as a ripe fruit. It is not only a question of defence, but of maintaining our freedom and independence. General Smuts admitted that his remarks were directed at South-West Africa.
