GEN. SHUTS HITS
BRITISH TRADE PACT
Declares Union Of South Africa
Will Not Benefit by
New Treaty.
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, November 22.-Gen. Jan
Christian SHUTS, former premier of the
Union of South Africa, in a speech
last night said he feared the trade bonds
between the Union and Great Britain
had been loosened by the preference
clause in the trade treaty recently con-
cluded with Germany. The treaty, he
declared, was not to the benefit of South
Africa, and the Union had shown it did
not wish to make use of assistance
available in Great Britain.
Dispatches from Cape Town told of
serever criticism of the treaty at a
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday. The president of the cham
ber said that while 1t was recognized
that Britain was South Africa's best
customer, under this agreement the
South African government was not
favoring imperial trade.
