But everything else in the speech is overshadow- ed by the urgency of General Smuts's demand that we should consider the situation that is growing up in the Pacific and, de termine how we shall deal with It. He regards its possibilities as grave: by comparison describing our inveterate European quarrels as so many "temporary and pass- Ing differences." he blds us settle them betimes lest the discontent- ed in Central Europe-for that is what he meant-may some day come together with the dissatis fed in the northern Pacific to our general undoing. That is sound advice, for which there is already
