SOUTH AFRICA WILL STAND BY SANCTIONS IMPOSED BY LEAGUE
M. LAVAL'S SPEECH
*AT. GENEVA
“VOICE OF A GENEROUS BUT JUST FRANCE”.
ROME THINKS HIS BARK WORSE
THAN HIS BITE-
Paris, To-day.
"It is the voice of a generous but just France," said one authority of M. Laval's speech, from which it is deduced that Sir Samuel Hoare promised M. Laval Britain's support în sanctions against aggression in any part of Europe, and that M. Laval is still endeavouring to talk over Signor Mussolini to a different frame of mind.
This latter idea forms the basis of two reports current here. one pub ished in Le Temps, that the League committee of five is about to make a new offer to Signor Mussolini which will give Italy a virtual mandate over Abyssiniz, with guarantees, both economic and political for predominance and another, that M- Laval is doing his utmost to persuade the British to agree to con cessions to the Duce which would enable the latter to call off the war against Abyssinia.

PARTITION OF AFRICA WOULD LEAD TO ARMED REVOLT
Geneva, To-day.
South Africa will not hesitate, in the event of
a breach of the Covenant, to stand by the Coven ant and the League to the extent of applying sanctions, should the members decide mani❤ mously on this course, stated Mr. C. T. te Water, High Commissioner for South Africa in London and South Africa's delegate to the League of Na- tions, broadcasting a speech from Geneva.
In his previous speech before the League As- sembly Mr te Water voiced the deep anxieties of South Africa and declared: "The partition of Africa outside the covering blanket of the League is fraught with danger and menace.
"We are facing the possible destruction of one of the last surviving sovereignties in Africa, and if that crime is permitted and Africa is conscripted by Europe for its own purposes and de signs, armed Africa will-in due and patient time arise and over- throw it, as it has in the past, and revert to the black barbarism. which it has been our difficult destiny in the South to penet and enlighten."***
