"We have no right to be unfaithful to the League of Nations merely because we fear that others are going) to be untrue to it," declared General James Hertzog, Prime Minister of South Africa, addressing the Assembly to-day,
"If other nations, like Great Britain and France, are not prepared to face the possible. outcome of con- tinuing sanctions, that will not affect South Africa, which intends to support the League of Nations to the last," the veteran statesman declared.
If the League failed through the failure of its! members to honour their obligations there would be a world war within twenty years, warned General Hertzog.-Reuter.
