AFRICA CONFLICT DANGER

SMUTS SEES MENACE TO BRITAIN

RACIAL ENMITY WOULD FOLLOW CLASH

(SPECIAL TO “TELEGRAPH")

(By Telegraph. Copyright. Telegraphic Messages Ordinance, 1894. Received, Ang, 13, 8 ́a.m.)

Durban, Aug. 12.

Breaking the official silence regarding the attitude of the Union of South Africa towards the possibility of a war between Abyssinia and Italy, General Jan Smuts, famous statesman and soldier, expressed his apprehensiveness of the consequences.

He considered, said General Smuts, that a great conflict in Africa, as an Italo-Abyssinian clash must be, would have serious repercussions in British territories of the Continent.

War in Abyssinia would have serious effects upon Egypt and the Sudan, he declared.

He had no doubt, said General Smuts, who is the present Minister

of Justice for the Union of South Afrien, who was formerly prime minister, and who has seen two bitter campaigns in Africa, first on the side of the Boers against Bri- tain, second with Britain against Germany's colonial forces, that an Italian invasion would arouse an anxious feeling all over Africa be- ; tween the blacks and the whites, That feeling is already in evidence! at the mere threat of war.

General Smuts also expressed the view that Ir Italy becomes seriously * involved in Abyssinia and is seri- ously crippled there by a long con- flet, a very grave position may arise in Europe.-Reuter Spreint.

(SPECIAL TO “TELEGRAPH")

(Bu Telegraph. Copyright, Telegraphic Messages Ordinance, 1894. Received, Ang. 13, 8 a.m.)

Chicago, Aug, 12.'

The attack delivered upon the Roosevelt Administration by former President Herbert Hoover yesterday is regarded as the most out-spoken statement made by the Republican "strong man" since he left the White House.

It is interpreted as a political event overshadowing the national "straw vote" which the Republican leaders are at present taking to find the best available candidate for the presidential election fight of 1936. It is un- questionably a declaration by the ex-President that he is in the ring.

Mr. Robert Lucas, former Executive Director of the Republican National Committee, who is taking the straw vote, says that thus far Senator Borah, powerful Western figure, is leading the list, with Mr. Frank Knox a close second.
