Immediate admission of Germany to the Eeague would be a mistake. The date of Germany's admission depended on herself (Cheers). If Germany created obstacles and showed that the same old spirit animated her, she would not accelerate the date, but if she really showed she had broken with the past and that the fires of war had purified her soul, and realised that the policy of the last 150 years had been a bitter mistake, then she could accelerate the date. The sooner that came about, the better it would be for Germany and the world

Referring to the German Colonies, the Premier said these would not be distributed among the conquerors but be administered by the Great Powers on behalf of humanity. The Mandatory Powers would differ according to the particular territory concerned. For example, South-West Africa, running as it, did alongside the Cape, was felt to be so much a part georgraphically thereof that it would be quite impossible to treat it in the same way as a Colony removed two or three thousand miles from the centre of an ad-. ministration. Doubtless South-West Africa would become an integral part of the Federation of South Africa. It would be coloris: ed by South Africans. They could not have done anything else, for they could not set up Customs barriers and a different system of Administration.
