I hesitate to believe that any Englishman who looks this fact in the face will think that our relations with' the republio either rest or ought to The best rest, oa such a footing. of difficulfor the that remedy part ties between England and the Boer republio is to agree on . arbitration of all particular and practical joints that may turn on the interpretation of the convention ol 1884 or which may otherwise be of a nature not too political to admit of udicial decision. Arbitration of the general character of the relations between the two states would be in&dmissable. f the actual documents are insufficient or unsatisfactory they must be supplemental or corrected by anew one duly negotiated and not made y awardjbut there does not appear to be any need of such supplement orjcorrection. Arbitration on a point say the dynamite monopoly or the laws on the admission and expulsion of aliens would of itself clear up the situation. The Arbitrator, as soon as the preamble of the 1884 conven-io- n was mentioned, would ask the British counsel: What are the suzerain rights which you claim that we shall apply in this case? and I should be sorry to be the counsel who had to answer that question. I fully admit that the acceptance of arbitration will be be abandonment of all rights outside the convention 'of 1884 and international law, but general should we be really abandoning anything tenable? I have already pointed out the monstrous position in which the assertion of suzeranity ontsido of the articles of the 1884 treaty would place us that of being not merely our own judges in international matters in which every state mast be its own judge, but our own judges without a standard to apply. Parliament, legislating for British dominions, is its own judge without a standard, but that position is not monstrous, because within the state there mast be a' supreme authority. Monstrous consists in professing to proceed not by but by convention, and yet claiming to hold a right which would make any certain interpretation of the convention impos, . .

If it depended on the issue of the negotiations between England and the Transvaal, war might still be averted. There are still better reasons than there were a week ago for believing that the British government is not satisfied with its casus belli Colonial Secretary Chamberlain might be willing to declare war tomorrow as far as the morale of the situation is concerned, but Premier Salisbury and Balfour, and back of them the queen herself, would probablyhesi-tat- e long- before attacking two South African republics beeause of the attitude taken, by the Pretoria - authorities. The moral position of Krugers countrymen has been immensely strengthened by tbe evident intention ol the Orange Free State to cast its lot with theirs against their all powerful opponents. The courage of the Orange Free States action cannot be gainsaid, but it is more galling to Englishmen than tbe attitude of Kruger himself. The bold and unequivocal declaration of the Free State, which believes that the whole British policy is hypocritical and dishonest, amounts to the assertion that the Free State sees in the British purd pose nothing but a determination to annex all of the South Africa to the queens domains, and that President Steyn and his advisers regard British aggression, despite Sir Alfred Milners assurances to the contrary, as directed as much against their independence as against that of their northern neighbors. Iu other words, the Free State fears that it will not be permitted long to survive after the Transvaal has been crushed, and that its only hope lies in the desperate chance of present- lr - t high-hande- ing a combined resistance. Such is the unflattering message just flung in the face of the British nation and if is qot surprising that Englishmen are abgry and resentIt i9 only moral considera-tion- s that make the British gov . ernment hesitate. Nobody doubts Great Britains ability to subdue both republics if she seriously undertakes the task, and perhaps the majority of Englishmen would like the job put through at once. The more bellicose among them see in the delay in, dispatching ( prompt ultimatum only a tactical military maneuver to enable the .war office to assemble the greater force made necessary by the Free States espousing of the Transvaal cause. They are right in one sense. British arms in South Africa are inadequate at the pres nt moment to deal with the hostile Boers of the two republics and month must elapse before a sufficient force can be massed there to enable Great Britain to undertake ful. . , a successful campaign. The severest blow against the British cause both legally And morally, has just been dealt by Prof. Westlake, whom every Englishman recognizes as the highest authority on, international law. , par-icul- ar legis-atio- n, sible. I am not expressing an opinion on the controversy, and I allow that even on the grounds of general international law a 'demand not based on a treaty, and excess of ordinary international rights may be made, when it appears to be the only way of remedying a situation which in good faith has become intolerable, but the arguments which have been used in a part of the press seeking to bring the claim of easy naturalization and the franchise within article 14 of the convention1 of London as a necessary coneequence of the. stipulation for the admission of- - aliens to the republio must surely have contributed to that suspicion of British sincerity which appears to be a great obstacle to an arrange menu When It Is pointed out that the stipulation' vthich is common in commercial treaties gives us no rights for our subjects which "we could not claim for them if they went to liv? in Russia, it is , an- . , . character doe to militarism takes many forms.

The refinements by which this conclnsion has been reached have eluded my comprehension, except so far as this that I can see that they have been grafted in some way oh the stem which spriogs from the tap root of the mysterious suzerainty. .If we wish to dispel suspicion as to our ulterior designs and to encourage the Boer republio to have faith that any arrangement whereby the present difficulties might be terminated shall really be what it appears to be on its face and shall not be subject to a system of interpretation which a part of the press has applied to the convention of London, then it behooves ' us to make it clear that we repudiate any such system of interpretation. What we have to do is to maintain the convention of London to the full extent of its language and by simply If interpreting that language. bemore has than this anything come needful, we have to say that also, plainly, after well assuring ourselves that it is so. Such a plain statement of the international aspects of this controversy from such a great and friendly authority may well make an; government jealous of its reputi tion for justice and fair play., and cause it to hesitate long before firing a shot at a weak but Intrepid people. Tbe real , danger still is, however, that the controversy will not be left to diplomacy to settle. The advocates of war on the British side are too numerous and too unscrupulous to allow their object to fail for lack of such a casus belli as the firing of a few shots on the frontier would supply.
