ly again st the United States offering
mediation between Great Britain and
the South African republics. Even
among those who sympathize with the
Beers out of a natural tendency to side
with the weaker side, there is little
disposition to assume that the contro-
versy is one in which the United States
would be justified in offering media
ton without being requested.
Ex-Secretary John Sherman is one of
those who do not think it would be
wise for the United States to offer
medi alton. He said:

ought to seek in any way to interfere.
We are too far away, and we should
not involve ourselves in a controversy
that might lead to war"
