The deported men, Mr. Creswell said, would then have been brought to Cape Town. On Monday Mr. Creswell proposed a vote of censure on the Government, but in the division lobby he had only five followers. On the part of the Opposition there was a disposition to complain that the Ministers should have justified what they had done at the very first opportunity, and given their explanation why the deportations had been ordered—at the same time they brought in the Indemnity Bill. General Smuts replied that a full statement would be made in the usual way on the second reading of the Bill. This contention was accepted as satisfactory by the House—the six Labour members alone voting against the Ministers. —GENERAL SMUTS SPEECH. A profound impression appears to have been made in the House of Assembly in Cape Town by General Smuts’ vigorous defence of the part played by the Government in breaking the great strike. The Government’s estimate of the peril they had to face may be measured by the fact that they thought it necessary to array an armed force of 75,000 men to cope with it. Throughout his speech the General contended that the Government was faced, not by a strike, but by a revolution. Referring to the events of July in Johannesburg, he paid a warm tribute to the British regiments who preserved order in that trying time. General Smuts quoted at length speeches by Mr. Poutsma, Mr. Bain, Mr. Waterston, and others in support of his charge that these men were Syndicalists and revolutionaries of a most dangerous type. He then argued—we quote Reuter’s summary of the speech—that all the facts made it perfectly clear that the settled intention of the Syndicalist leaders, in which they nearly succeeded, was to paralyse all trades, suspend all communications, cut off supplies, and so to terrorize the community into abject surrender. The Government had been attacked by the Labour members for adopting military measures such as should only be taken against enemies of the country. He could not think of any worse enemies of the country than the forces of Syndicalism. No invading force could inflict greater destruction, bring greater disaster to the
