“ In all probability this is our last meeting. I do not believe that we shall be given another chance
to negotiate : we shall be deemed too insignificant. If we reject this proposal, what prospects have
we in the future ? If we accept it, we can, like a child, increase in size and strength, but with its
rejection goes our last opportunity.
“ Fell a tree and it will sprout again ; uproot it and there is an end of it. What has the nation done
to deserve extinction ?
“ Those who wish to continue the war are influenced chiefly by hope ; but on what is this hope
founded ? On our arms ? No. On intervention ? By no means. On what then ? No one can say.
“ I am sorry that the Transvaal and the Orange Free State are at variance on this point, and I
regret that it is the Transvaal which has to declare itself unable to proceed further ; but the enemy
have concentrated all their forces in this State, and we can hold out no longer.”
Mr. L. Jacobsz : “ I have hitherto not spoken, because I am a non-combatant. I have also suffered
much, although less than others. I have listened to what has been said, but my opinion is not changed
by the views I have heard expressed.
“ I repeat now what I said at Klerksdorp, namely that the struggle cannot continue. I have noted
the condition of the country, which is such that the commandos can no longer be supported. I would
point out the condition of the women and children, of whom many are dying, and all are exposed to
great dangers. If there was a chance of succeeding in the end, then we might hold out, but there is no
such chance ; there is no possibility of intervention, and the silence of the deputation is ominous.
“ I sympathize with the heroes present at this meeting ; we must have a foundation for our faith,
and we cannot altogether compare our people with the people of Israel. Israel had promises made to
them ; we have none. I would further point out that, in the interests of the nation, it will not do to
surrender unconditionally : the terms before us may be deceptive, but they are the best obtainable.
“ With regard to the difficulty of those delegates who consider that they are bound to act as they
have been commissioned, I am of the same opinion as Judge Hertzog and General Smuts.”
Commandant J. J. Alberts (Standerton) spoke more or less
