GREAT BRITAIN AND THE TRANSVAAL, '
"
It has transpired that the Conference be tweca President Kruger and Sir Alfred Milner at Bloemfontein has proved a failure. President Kruger proposed considerable concessions con- cerning the franchise and naturalization which Sir Alfred Milner regarded as inadequate. President Kruger however made all the pro. posals independent of Great Britain's acceptance of the principle of Arbitration between the two countries in the event of differences, and it is surmised that this constituted the especial difficulty. The position is regarded as grave.
It is clear that the third sentence in this paragraph; must read & President Kruger made all the proposals dependent on (not independent of) Great Britain's accep tance of the principle of arbitration, elc."
Otherwise the sentence is meaningless. The astute Kruger wants to get himself free from the authority of his souzerain and to be in à position to call in a foreign power to back him up when he breaks his agreements or withdraws his concessions.-Ed., HK, 7.]|
