Not Provide for British Supremacy.

Special Cdbb D,pabh 10 The Sex.
LONDON. Nov. 29.-SpeaknG at Leicester to-
day Colonial Secretary Chamberlain declared
that war in South Africa was inevitable from
the beginning unless Great Britain had been
willing 10 abandon her subjects to the mercy
OF the Beers and to accept President Ringers
claim that the Transvaal should be treated as
an Independent sovereign State. in which
event the Beers would have been able TO dom
mate every other race In South Africa. II such
n solution had been accepted. Great Britain
would have lost South Africa. weakened her
control In India and made herself ridiculous in
the eyes Of the world.
Mr.. Chamberlain added that though 1t was
premature to discuss the terms OF settlement.
he must point out that ii was the Beers own
act that had brought England out OF the re-
gion OF conference and compromises. and that
the position they owed 10 Great Britain had
proved a source OF danger TO the empire. He
believed that no solution would be tolerated
which did not provide for the supremacy Of
the British flag which was the only guarantee
OF settled peace. and the only security for the
lust treatment Of all races.
