Angus was saying only last week that if the herring stay inshore for a little longer it'll be an easier winter for us than we've had for many a year."

The woman on the other side of the 'fence turned away, and Debbie re- turned to her eranberry patch. From time to time she heard the laughter of the children clearly across the sun- lit distance.

Empire Figure (By a Young Boer) General Jan Christian Smuts, the greatest living Empire figure, has ar- rived in England and is delivering Rhodes Lectures at Oxford. General Bmuts {smo longer a Pre mier sunk in the sterility of oppoft tion, a tragic genius penned into a small holding, Here at least he will find that the people are at last begin- ning to follow the Empire banner which he and a few like him have car- ried alone for =o long. Here Smuts is a world figure. All Englishmer® know him as the grave pleader at the Versailles Conference, who would have saved Europe much misery, if only Europe's own states. men had not barred the way. But few know that, in his own country, this former enemy of England has suffer- ed more for the Empire than any Eng- lishman has done. When he returned from his tri umphs in Europe he found acclama- tion at Capetown, it is true; but he also found gross cartoons in the Afri. kaans Press showing him as the "Handyman of the Empire," in khaki uniform, next to a 'baboon tied to a pole. ' A "Khaki Boer" This carried the bitter implication that he was a "khaki Boer"--of the renegade sort who helped Britain dur- ing the Boer war--tied to his Empire pole like a captive baboon. The vilest thing you can call a soldier is 'trait or," and for years Smuts has had this 'epithet flung at him. Many in South' Africa were, like myself, trained npac- tically from childhood to hate him. A politiclan could have countered with an even viler epithet, but I leave you 'to imagifie what pain this must have caused to a great and sensitive character such as( that of General Smuts. talk of Smuts and the Rand revolt, ac- cusing "him .of causing bloodshed ameng his 'people--of shooting his own blood flat, as the idiom runs. It is a tragedy common among the Boers, inevitable in a race in which the hot blood of the French runs be- neath the phlegm-'of the Netherland- er, The Boers were divided even on th Great Trek. / - It ise a greater tragedy still that Smuts should have had to apply his qualities to humble but necessary things such as trade treaty disputes and the bilingualism of railway port- ers. 'Kruger was the same. He had a brain like Solomon, and would have towered over most of the statesmen of the past century if he had been orn in Enurope, Lonely in the first place with the terrible loneliness of the intelectual, Smuts was further estranged from | popular sympathy because the scene of his triumphs lay in a land which few of his own people had seen and which most of them knew only as a former enemy. He was nicknamed "Slim Jannie" (Sly Jock) for the same reason that made the average Ber- Miner look upon the great Stresemann a8 a traffic light, facing all ways at once, } "7 Before these vicious attacks Smuts was puzzled, hurt, but never resent.

We only see him at his greatest when he is speaking in a place that really inspires him, and we hear ora- tory resonant as Cicero's and graceful as Burke's; at the unveiling of a war memorial at the top of Table Moun- tain; at De Wet's funeral, at the re- dedication of Kruger's memorjal in Pretoria. His thoughts then are gigantic. His words are like a wind in the Drakens- berg peaks. His mind is like a mel low sun, embracing al a man's ac tions and the end of all human effort. At De Wet's funeral, under: the great needle of the Concentration Camp Memorial, he spoke like a Roman at the bier of a brother fallen in elvil strife. On the top of Table Mountain his words hung man's destiny in pictures before our eyes, from the time when he was a speck in the slime, And now I must make the bitter confession that to you In Europe, Smuts means more to us in South Africa. He is an intellectual.
