JAN SHUTS
WARM DEFENDER OF
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
(By Associated Press)

CAPE TOWN, May 27.-In a speech
in the assembly today, General Jan
Christian SHUTS, premier of the Union
of South Africa, warmly defended the
league of nations, making an earnest
plea that the league be given a chance
to show what it could do.
do not let US fight the league of
nations" said Premier SHUTS, but
let us fight the supreme council,
which may be wrong" He thought
the council had not played the game"
by the league. He said he saw no
other hope for the future of the hui
man race than that of some organiza-
ton of nations. great and small.
General SHUTS, who was a member
of the peace conference commission
for the organization of the league of
nations, added that he sincerely
hoped the league would become a real
high court of justice and civilization
for the working out of the interna-
tional future
Refers to ireland
In his speech, General SHUTS re-
ferred to the question of Ireland as a
matter domestic to the United King
dom. The British government how.
ever, might desire to consult the do
minion governments on this subject,
which would give them a chance to ex-
press their opinion. Regarding the
Anglo-Japanese treaty, General SHUTS
said South Africa was apparently un-
interested, but if he were asked to do
so he was prepared to express his
opinion on it as we'll as on the ques-
tioE of the dominion navies. The pre-
mier expressed the hope that the
forthcoming dominion conference
would be successful in reaching an
agreement on the matters affecting
the empire, as such success would
make for the success Of the league of
nations and for the future government
of the world
