NO BLIND CHOICE
FIELD MARSHAL SMUTS SPEAKS TO SOUTH AFRICANS. “South Africans must choose their friends for the future,” declared Field Marshal Smuts in a recent speech at Winburg, in the Orange Free State. “I choose the country under which we suffered 40 or 50 years ago, but which, when we were at her mercy, treated us as a Christian people should. England—when I speak of England I take off my hat. We who have been through something similar can appreciate it when a nation stands as fast as a wall. Our choice in South Africa, no matter what our language or oui’ origin may be, is to remain on the road of independence, of selfgovernment, of parliamentary institutions, of justice and humanity. On that road we shall persevere.”
