for commissions, and he was proud of the South Africans 
both in the contingents and in the vaiious units of the 
Army and Navy who had come over.

" With regard to finance, if you look through tliis 
report of Mr. Burton's speech in the House of Assembly, 
you'll get an impression of the temper of the House with 
regard to the war and the satisfactory state of South 
African finance. I don't suppose the details would 
interest your readers, as they won't generally understand 
the controversies that lie behind them." 
H it was a strategical defeat I can at least claim a 
tactical victory. I was an hour and some minutes older 
and something wiser than when I entered. I had had 
a lesson in official discretion, and had listened to comments 
from the man as distinct from the official, and put by con- 
sent outside the scope of this interview, of interesting 
aspects of the Imperial problem. 
THE DOMINION OF CANADA 
HERE must be something in High Commis- 
sioning wliich keeps the body young. You 
would give Sir George Perley a dozen years 
less than his publicly recorded age. You find 
here the man 
of b u s i n e f s , 
direct, to the 
point, \vith his 
decisive speech 
and quick de- 
cisions. 
The question 
of racial prob- 
lems cropped up 
from my South 
African conver- 
sation. 
"Oh. the 
French Cana- 
dian ? Mostlj- a 
farmer like the 
South African 
Dutchman, less 
generally a lum- 
ber man, is not 
much interested 
in world politics. W hat he is interested in is farms— his 
farm. He is quite content to live under the British 
flag and certainly wouldn't like any other. 
. . . No, the French alliance can't be said to make 
much difference. It is just that the farming class 
never does see these things in the same way as the 
townsman. And, of course, our settlers out West are 
newer to the country and their links with the Mother 
Land are necessarily much stronger. As to the detach- 
ment of the farmer you have surely something of the 
same sort here in England. Though I suppose the 
squires modify this a little. 
" Oh yes, Bourassa is an out and out autonomist. 
He wants an independent Canada. Bourassa is able 
and sincere, but naturally we're not in sympathy 
with his separatism. Wbat we want, of course, is a say in 
matters of life and death, as we have it in lesser matters. 
***** 
. . . Of course, Laurier has fav( ured our giving 
every possible assistance all through. There is nothing 
like a political crisis ; we're all of us wth you all the 
time. When we have seen this thing through together 
perhaps we shall be able to find some common ground for 
close Imperial relations." 
" Would you mind, Sir George, being a Kttle more 
ex[)licit ? " 
"Well, you know; I rather would mind ! " 
" Oh yes, I know it's a delicate subject and by this 
time I know something of the appalling discretion of High 
Commissioners, but it's a really fundamental and interest- 
ing one. How do you think we ought to set about getting 
this question fixed ? " 
" Well, you are asking rather a good deal you know. 
I think I may say this that I don't believe in a set plan.
