BANNERMAN’S DEFENCE
DECLARES THAT HE HAS NOT EXPRESSED SYMPATHY FOR BOERS. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright London, Nov. 19. Sir H. A. Campbell-Bannerman, spoaking at Plymouth, denied uttering a syllable that could be twisted into an oncouragoment of the Boers. He had never even, he said, expressed ordinary pity or sympathy for the Boers. Great Britain could only goven them with their willing help, not despito of their enmity. The peril, ho declared, would remain while Mr Chamberlain and Sir A. Milner were in office. A Cabinet of business men was impracticable unless on business lines. The Standard denounced the proposal as a gratutious sacrifice of national selfrespect. Sir H. Campbell-Bannerman admits that independence must be withheld.
