manifest-

hopefualness
for
a conciusion
of poace
with
Great

and
Irelarnd.
He
pointei
ouf
the
dangers
of
the
Silesian
difficulty
and made
casual
reference
to
the
naval
rivalry of
the
United
States
and

who are

‘on

world,
-he
advised
that.
in
the
hurricane
now
sweeping
the
world
the
motto
should
be
‘‘go
slow’”’.
General
Smuts
said
the situation
in Ireland
when
he afrived in
London
was
indescribable
Any idea of such
a
state of affairs,
if
it
had existed before
the
reat
War
would
have
been
scouted,
the
Premier
declar-
ed,
The situation,
the
Premier
declared
was difficult, but
no
hopeless.
The
on-
ly solution
to it was Home Rule.
General
Smats
characterized
world
conditions
as
exceedingly
sad
to anyone
coming
in con-
tact with these
problems.
Cheers
greeted
his
deeclaration
that
the
withdrawal
of
the {lnited States
from
International
af-
fairs left
the British Empire
as the “‘only
~
stahilizing
influence
in
the
world
af-
fairs.””
According
to General
Smuts
the
peace
of the world is closely bound
with
the
Silesian
question,
as
it
was
with
Belgium in 1914.
There
might have
been
|
at
any
moment
a
devastating
confliet.
\
General
Smuts
declared,
and consequent
|
ly the Dominion strengthened
the hands
|
of Great
Britain
iu
preventing
Silesia
.
from
dragging
Germany
and
Frarce
f
into
another
war.
Europe
now knows
|
that
she
is
dealing
not
only with Great
'
Britain
but
with
the
British
Empire.
.
General
Smuts
said
it
was
considered
|
unnecessary
to pursue
the constitutional
§
position at the conterence,
but
to
leave
|
well enoyugh alone and refer
the question
|
to more peaceful
times.
