GERMAN COLONIES
FORESIGHT OF GENERAL SMUTS. PRAISED DY MR AMERY. A tribute to the wise instinct that had led General Smuts to demand that Iho colonies should not be returned to Germany was expressed by a former Secretary of State for the Colonies, the Rt Hon L. S. Amery, in a speech at Birmingham, reported by radio. If Germany had regained these colonies, he said, the Nazis would have converted them into naval and military bases. The colonies in South Africa were within air flight of each other, and an enormous number of German planes would have been concentrated in each for the destruction of their neighbours and of the Union of South Africa. General Smuts had shown wise instinct when demanding that the colonics should not be returned as they would have been used for the purpose always intended —renewed aggression on a peace-loving country.
