We would have to go to America or France or some other big coun» try to protect us, becanse we are not safe. One warship could bring us to our knees. But today we are not cornered in a kraal, but are in a friendly cirele, with a nowerful British fleet to help us if any injustice is planned toward us. "We need not spend millions on p fleet," General Smuts continued, "brt ean concentrate on projects of development so necessary tn a young country.

"It is our duty,' 'he said, "1¥ insist that Germany shall be plac- ed in a position equal to others in the matter of armaments, He added that the Reichswehr's lack of modern arms was compen- sated by its high standard of in- elligence, ability, self-control and sense of repsonsibility. His task would be, he said, to make thé army popular and an object ot pride with the German people, and strengthen the spirit of national defense, of the Imperial Conference, the# the Empie is a Commonwealth fc ® mutual help and supnort.
