THE TRANSVAAL,

The New Constitution.

In Committee of supply in the. House o Commons on July 31 on the Colonial Office vota, Winston Churchill, Parliamentary Under-Secretary for the Colantes, amidar Sinisterial chaors, announced the decisione of the Government regarding the Cousiitu- tions for the Transreal and the Orange River Colony,

Mr Churchill said that the Transvaal was the morre contre of South Africa. The Constitution promulgated by Mr· A.- Lyttelton, who was Secretary of Stats for the Colonies in the Balfour administration, was defunct and unworkable. "The Boere- would have held aloof from it, or would bare become wreckors of the Constitution.

"Our guiding principle." Mr Churchll continued, “is to make no difference in the

rant of responsible government between Briton and Boor, no difference between those who fought wont loyally for as and, those who resisted. British arme with must dosporate cout<ga (rish chepre.)

"The future of South Africa and its per- manent inclusion in the Empire demand that the King be equally surareign of both races, both looking to Great Britain se their friend,

"Sir West Ridgeway's Commission has reported that no vapport should be given to proportional representation. hence the Government has adopted single-member constituencies.
