BRITAIN REMAINS THE INNER
OF THE ALLIED CAUSE GENERAL JAN SMUTS SAYS COUNTRY
WAS NEVER BEFORE SO STRONG
CAPE TOWN, July 22 (Reuter)-General Jan Smuts, the South African Premier, broadcasting in the Home Service programme of the B.B.C. to the peoples of the United Kingdom and the United States, said he wished briefly to discuss two questions which he was sure were uppermost in the minds of millions of people in free "countries:
(1) What were our prospects at this stage of the war as he viewed them? (2) What was the sort of peace they were striving to reach as the result of this mortal struggle?
General Smuts emphasised that the views he would express were his own person- al views and must not be taken to have any official character.

Continued from Fage 1
With regard to our prospects, he said the Germans so far had had an uninterrupted series of most spectacular successes-Poland, Norway, Holland, Belgium and finally the most colossal and the most stunning of all, the unex- pected collapse of France.
