the chancellor recalled, protested in Par

the British victimized thousands of
women and children of the Beers. Lloyd
George at that time stated that the death
rate of children under IL years In the
Boer concentration camps was A6 per
cent. Austen Chamberlain, then English
colonial secretary. admitted that the
death rate Of children in the Orange Free
State was for time So per cent.
These conditions, continued the chan
cellor. were the result of a systematic
policy Of determination under which
women and children were insufficiently
supplied with food, not perhaps because
there was a lack Of food. but for the de-
liberate purpose of exterminating the
Boer people. England at that time killed
from 5000 to 1900 women and chill
dren out Of 10000, thus making IL per
cent Of the total victims OF the barbarous
English warfare.
But now England proposed to victim
lie the women, children, the old and the
sick Of a nation numbering 10000 900 in
order to force them into submission" he
continued.
1T was England who from the outset
wanted to make this war not a war of
army against army, but a war Of nations
against a nation. And after she did so.
'fter her leaders announced in the face
