BIoemfontein, South Africa, August
l5th,-The Premier, General SHUTS, was
given an ovation upon his appearance at
the South African Party Congress after
his recent ~indisposition In an address
to Congress he appealed for South Afri-
ca to stand in sympathy with Great Brit
ain in her effort to save Europe from
destruction. He eXhorted all the nations
in Europe, great and small, to rally
round Great Britain and avert a wide
world disaster. The position today was
grave beyond words, the Premier said,
and if the United States saw the Euro
pean nations supporting Great Britain,
he had faith that the United States
would again rush to the rescue and save
fhe breakup of Europe, the conse-
ouencas of which might not be wiped out
for a century. If all the nations acted
together, he continued, there was still a
possibility that France would see her
danger before it was too late. The dis
solution of Germany would be a far more
serious thing than the fall Of Russia. If
Germany broke up, civilization would be
put back a century or more. Whether
Europe could stand the shock, it would

he declared, cannot cut adrift from Eu-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10Th. Any impress
sion abroad that there has been a modlt-
cation in the American Governments
attitude on PREPARATIONS was said on high
authority here today to be wholly un-
warranted. Surprise was expressed that
unusual notice had been taken in London
of the outline of this GOvrrnment's posi-
ton. as given to the pu0Ilc yesterday
from the White House. It was pointed
ont that the White House spokesman
reafirmed completely the position 20
which the United States had held since
the reparations problem first because
acute and had ass .rjed categOrically hat
the policies of President Harding will be
the polices of President Coolidge, furth-
ermore. the White House assurance that
the United States would give ready
response" to proposals from Europe
looking to the United States aid, was
coupled with the specific limitation that
it would be the first business OF the new
administration to see that any course
adopted served the United States inter
ests. 1t was also emphasized again that
the policy and hopes of the Washington
Government, as announced by Secretary
Hughes 10 his New Haven speech last
December, were unchanged.
