Africa to Delagoa Bay needed only to be diverted

not yet a British possession and Dom Paul
was keen to lay his claim. The Cape Colony. the
Orange River Free State and Natal had entered
into a customs union. Wishing to tie in the
Transvaal with them in that commercial arrange
ment these cities offered Kruger a free hand at
Kos Bay. That is to say if he would join their
customs alliance.
Way back in 1890 it was, but at that time
there German influences at work in Pretoria
and Bloemonten. Dom Paul delayed and hestatcd
until five years later Sir Henry Lock, high COM
missioner of South Africa, took possession Of
Amatonga land. This was done in the name Of
the British crown. The Transvaal had missed its
chance and perhaps also chance to avoid the
that to put end to the Boer nationality.
WE'LL it has been twenty-seven years since
world diplomatic circles were buzZlng about kosi

According to one who signs

Herald man who risked his all in

lingo. simply because he expects
his financial losses incidental to
this service to be partially made
good. The service man asks moth
ing, not even gratitude. for his
privations. weeks without sleep.
months in shell holes. suffering that
even hell itself could not surpass.
Eoltaire says that it was imprac-
ticable to give us back our jobs.
Was it not just as impracticable for
us to sacrifice our jobs. our occu-
pations and our lives in order to
keep the property of our employers
from the hand of the Hun?
Again he says: The draft policy
was wise.1 Yes, If all industry be
drafted on the same basis of no
profit. but not to take my rightful
wages and pay them to Voltaire in
profits while | sacrifice my life in
order to continue his business sue
cess.
The bonus a reward for doing our
duty-I beg your pardon. Simply
part pay for my losses incurred in
paying Voltaire his wartime salary
from an income of dollar day.
Naturally the profiteer. after max
ing his graft at the expense OF the
mangled bodies and the intense
suffering Of war. would not want to
see any wrongs riShted now.
Yes. many of the boys secured
jobs. but invariably at smaller
wages than the man who received
his large wages during the war.
why? Because of longer service.
War service is not counted at all
when it comes to priority rights.
For this reason the service man is
now out of luck again. as men are
losing their jobs in large numbers.
Voltaire says it would be spent
foolishly. Suppose it would. We
did not ask him how he spent the
money we sacrificed our very lives
to guarantee to him.
