SPEECH BY SIR M. HICKSBEACH
Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, September 30. (Received Oct. 1, at 1.18 a.m.) •Sir M. Hicks-Beach, speaking' at Clifton, hoped that the Boers would , : not listen to evil counsellors on the Con- ' tinent, who were much more swayed by i hostility to England than a desire for ' the welfare of South Africa. If so, the L day was not fa.r distant when South j Africa, under complete self-government, ' would be as equally loyal and powerful a • bulwark as Canada or Australia. He L advocated drastic reform in the War 1 Office. This was impossible until army officers, like navy officers, devoted their lives to their duties, and outside interference with regard to promotions ' and appointments was abolished.
