SOUTH AFRICA.

IMPERIAL ACTIONS REVIEWED.

CHARITY TOWARDS MR WINSTON CHURCHILL.

[press association.] (Received April 10, 1.15 a.m.)

CAPETOWN, April 9.

Mr Winston Churchill's speech as a whole, embodying what Britishera in the Transvaal heretofore claimed to be essential for the maintenance of British supremacy, and also Sir Henry CampbeU-Ban-tterman'e desire for conciliatory methods, are interpreted at Johannesbury ac an Imperial Government's tardy and reluctant concession, due to public opinion- throughout the Empire.

Speakeirs at the Chemical and Metallurgical Societies' banquet welcomed the change in attitude. Possibly there had been misunderstanding on both sides, and with the exercise of a little charity, the name of Mr Churchill might yet be favorably received in South Africa.
