*** NOT MERR JIM-JAM." GEN. SMUTS ON THE LEAGUE OF
NATIONS...
The Mayor presided at a mesting held. in the Town Hall, Pretoria," General Hmuta haing the principal speaker, in support of a resolution which was carried unanimously. to the affect that the people of Pretoria accepted the prin ciples of international co-operation upon which the League of Nations was based, and pledged themselves to support all messures which tended to make the League an affective instrument for secur
the peace of the world.
In the course of his speech General Smuts said that he regretted that there was considerable apathy in South Africa |with regard to the League of Nations and urget the working, up of a strong enthusiasm for the cause of the League in Bouth Africa, which had played a great part in furtharing it. South Africa was playing a great and distinguished part 6 Geneva through her representatives, especially Lord Robert Cecil, who had done honour not only to Boath Africa, bus to the whole of the world, in the Fattitude he had adopted. General Smuts smphasised the fact that the League was
jim-jam." but something not mere
upon which the future of the world and civil- isation depended, and he proceeded to refer to the great hopes and visions of the future which were entertained on the first 11th of November three years ago, and the great disappointment that brad settled on mankind in the last three |years.
Continuing, General Smuts said it was impossible to know where they were to day, being, as they were, in a most dan gerously unsettled state. Some new life, some newer deeper, greater life, must be born out of all this evil through which they had passed. General Smuts went on to declare that war was becoming nearly impossible owing to the advance of science, while the economic effects would be perhaps ever more dreadful. He laid emphasis on the impossibility of & nation living in isolation, and quoted Russia as an example. The League of Nations was founded on the principle of human co-operation, which was just the antithesis, of the principle of war. The League was founded from the smallest and most insignificant beginnings, yet it had shared, and was proving itself, and had settled down to active work.
General Smuts cited as an instance the establishment of the International Court of Justice, which was an outstanding suc- cess and achievement, and the settlement of the Upper Silesian question. There had been failures, but the League was proving itself, and he felt that the ex periment was turning out a success and was deserving of their support and en- courugement.
Washington Confer Referring to the ence, General Smuts said that he regard. ed it as a highly important event, second only in importance to the Paris Pence Conference: It was significant that' America had called the Conference, which radicated a great change on the part of America, who after the Paris Conference. wanted to cut adrift from Europe, which was why she would not sign the Peace Treaty and why the repudiated the work of ex-President Wilson. But the interesta of mankind were so intertwined that it was impossible for the most powerful nation on earth, which America was, to stand alone and to live an isolated life.
General Smuts pointed out that the Conference was not the rival of the League of Nations, because it was entire- ly on the lines of the League, and the day might come when it would be seen that the Washington Conference was the beginning of America's co-operation with the League. What the Washington Con- ference sought was entirely consonant with the aims of the League of Nations. which he believed would get new assist. ance from the Washington Conference in carrying on the great work for which the League stood. They could only wish the Conference every success, and hope that it would have results which should ensure lasting peace for the world. Re verting to the League, General Smuts. said that it should be extended to em- brace everybody. It would never be a success while huge tracts of the world were excluded. Germany and Russia should join, and, if not voluntarily, they should be made to join. He was of opinion that the function of the League of Nations was not merely to secure the peace of the world, but that its main function should be to regulate economic relations between the nations the weak, spot of the present system. In addition to the points mentioned, the gospel of kuman co-operation for which the League abood must be preached as much as pos- sible through the people of the world.
General Smuts concluded by an elo- quent appeal to South Africa and other countries to build in the League of Na tions a durable institution which should preserve the interests of all mankind in their day of trouble-Reuter

HOME RACING SEASON.
SOME PRESS RECOMMENDATIONS.
The London newspapers reviewing the at racing season which ended last month refer to the performances of Humorist and Craigen-Eran. They say that the juveniles are so below the average that it is impossible to find a winter favourite for next year's Derby.jp
Tishy, Leighton, and Downwritten are said to have been the most over-rated animals in the history of racing.
Other features of the season were the shrinkage of crowds, the diminution in betting, and the decline of Tattersall's Ring, which, it is declared, needs thin ning out.
Demands are made for Stipendiary Stewards, which are considered neces sary in view of the amount of alleged dishonest running.
Solly Joel was the leading winning owner with a total of £33,000.
The Commission от International Justice and Goodwill of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in Americs compiled the following statistics on the staggering cost of the great war Lord Derby realised £21,000 and came and made them public on the eve of the great international Conference on Limita- Blon
