Brand in South Africa and from Gladstone in England : thus it was not by our own sword that we
were enabled to win.
“ It will be asked why, if we have kept up the struggle for two years and a half, can we not still
continue to do so ?
“ Because, in the meantime, we have become weaker and weaker, and if we persist the end must
be fatal. What grounds have we for expecting that we may yet be victorious ? Each man we lose
renders us weaker ; every hundred men we lose means a similar gain to the enemy. England’s
numerical strength does not diminish ; on the contrary, there are even more troops in the country at
this moment than when Lord Roberts had the command. England also has used our own men against
us, and has not been ashamed of arming the Kaffirs ; the enemy are learning from our own men in what
way they should fight—he must be blind indeed who cannot see these facts.
“ I do not think we can appropriately call this altogether a ‘ war of faith.’ Undoubtedly we began
this war strong in the faith of God, but there were also two or three other things to rely upon. We had
considerable confidence in our own weapons ; we under-estimated the enemy ; the fighting spirit had
seized upon our people ; and the thought of victory had banished that of the possibility of defeat.
“ The question still remains, What are we to do ? I have no great opinion of the document which
lies before us : to me it holds out no inducement to stop the war. If I feel compelled to treat for peace
it is not on account of any advantages that this proposal offers me : it is the weight of my own
responsibility which drives me to it.
“ If I think that by holding out I should dig the nation’s grave, nothing must induce me to continue
the struggle.
“ Therefore I consider it my duty, as leader of our nation, to do my utmost that not one man more
shall be killed, that not one woman more shall die.
“ The sacrifice must be made ; is not this also a trial of our faith ? What shall we gain by going
on ? Nothing ! It is obvious that further surrenders will take place—here of a few, there of many—and
our weakness will increase.
“ We shall also be obliged to abandon large areas of the country. Will this make us stronger ?
Rather, will it not enable the enemy to concentrate still more ? And the abandoned tracts—to whom
will they belong ? To the enemy !
