that peace was possible. lie had always
been determined 20 secure justice Tor tne
british in South Africa. and TO MAINTAIN
the paramountcy Of Great Britain, Dut
with these things assured, ne desired
peace. Whenever there had been doubt
as TO President Kruger's motives, me
government had always gwen MN inc
benefit OF the doubt.

q great power In South AFRICA, we ars
bound TO show that We are willing ana
able 10 protect British subjects wherever
they have suffered injustice and oppres-
sion Great Britain must remain the
paramount power in South Africa. /
