ONLY ONE SOUTH AFRICA. STKOJKJ SPEECH BY SIR EDWARD GKKV. Sir Edward Grey, Bart., speaking at Alnwick on Monday night, started with this proposition "Whatever mistakes were made in the course of the negotiations in the Transvaal, yet in the main the war turned upon one issue, and in that issue we were in the right."

(2) With that in view a measure of independence was given to the Transvaal only on certain condi- tions, one being that there should be equal rights between white races. (3) The Transvaal whittled away the rights of other white races; they made attempts to get rid of British influence altogether; they intrigued with the natives and they intrigued with Europe. (4) Pacific measures having failed to get back the rights of ths other white races, and as South Africa must stand or fall as a whole, two alternatives re- rnained-naroely, either to let things drift or to em- ploy force. The Transvaal Government decided which of these alternatives it would be by tending us an ultimatum. In his opinion, the fault of our Government was that troops were not sent earlier. Apart from all the negotiations, apart from the Uitlanders' grievances—even if there had been nogrievances and no negotiations—the despatch of more troops to South Africa was necessary to redress the inequalities of power in that country.
