Peace Or War In South Africa

Excerpt from Peace or War in South Africa The prospect of a prolongation of the South African War is beginning to shake the confidence of the public in the ability of their Ministers. When we see that after many efforts a powerful Ministry is unable to fulfil any of its predictions and that all its calculations have been falsified, we must in ordinary prudence conclude that it has totally misjudged the difficulties of its task, that its policy is not based on common sense, and that its wisdom is not equal to its good intentions. Many men who, like myself, have hitherto given an independent but steady support to the Ministerial party begin to ask themselves whether this party is pursuing a policy which is consistent with the safety and the high traditions of England.
