report that the government intended TO
sell farms belonging to burghers. Re
garding some farms sold in the Or
ange River colony under the proclama-
ton of August Z, 1901. Mr.. Chamber
lain promised that the farms bought
by the government would be re-trans-
ferred to their former owners.
General Botha appealed for the wild
ows and orphans, and said he consid-
cred that the appropriation of 1000
coo was inadequate.
Replying to this, Mr.. Chamberlain
Nompared Great Britain's treatment of
the Beers with the treatment of the
South by the North after the Civil
War in America.
Il would remind the general" said
Mr.. Chamberlain. that we have un-
dertaken more under similar cifcum-
stances. We have done more than l
think was expected, and we have done
all that we can afford to do, and L
think it would be undesirable for the
generals to press us further in this
matter. either now or in writing"
Mr.. Chamberlain concluded with say
ing that the government would be
glad of the cooperation of men like
the generals, who had Loyalty accept
ed the new situation. AS they wanted
South Africa to be a happy abiding
place for all, he felt sure that If the
burghers met the British half way
they would find them quite as good
friends in the future as they had been
loyal enemies in the past.
