Mr John Morley on the War.

Mr Morley holds that the BoeiS were beaten when OronJT and Prinsloo Bur randered ; and he accuses us of need iest? prolonging the war I ecause w dtd not tell the Boers that we would give thorn colonial self-i»ovurrini«nt That U a complete misrepresentation of -; the cas'\ There was no Urn? when wo were not ready to promise tb. p- Bo?rs self-government ns Briiish su'j -c*«, and •gain and again they have been told that-this was our policy But at no time hwe tho Boers, who ore still fighting, or the Boer leaders now in Europp,g»ven any indication of willing ne^r to Briti-ih sutj-cts. On the contrary, they h.ve always said that they will accept do position short of complete independence. That is the fact which Mr Morley ignores, He has not the slightest ground for his theory that tho Boers would at any time have made peace on a promise that they would dp allowed colonial ielf-government t —/S rcoteina»,

The Tientsin Affray

Thfc Times o£ June 4, referring to fc'ie affray at Tientsin between the Welsh Fusiliers and some French soldiers says:—Probably the incident) wan nothing more tbaq an ordinary military riot, in which eoldurs of different nationalities attacked the police, on the principle of being'agin the Government anyhow/ bat even's of the kind, like the firing on the tog Bwo/ when the German sentnes bt «nca used their arms under very different provocation from that received by the Fusiliers, demonstrate in a rather startling fashion the perils inseparable from joint oecopatione. The plan of placing the troops engaged in such occupations under a single j command h*a not obviated these perils in China, while it has been attendtd by serious disadvantages of Us own. Looking back upon our experience since Ooanfc Yon Waldersee assumed control of the allied forces in Ohili, we must recognise that the experiment we consented to try has not tended to promote either owr political ends or our military prestige. The blame for this result cannot be attributed with fairness to the distinguished soldier to whom tho command of those forcea was givfn Count yon Waldersee is a German officer, and he naturally viewed the subject of his rela tions to tho troopa he temporarily commanded from the standpoint of a German officer. Oar Government ought to have foreseen that this would be the case, and that it mast almost inevitably lead to the assumption by Mm of an attitude prejudicial in many rpgpects'to our credit and to our in tfmta
