which her majesty intended to secure
for thorn when sho granted privileges
of solf-goveriiment to tho Transvaal.
No conditions less comprehensive than

discussion on tho lines hitherto fol
lowed, and tho imperial government is
now compelled to consider tho situa
tion afresh and to formulate its own
proposals for a final settlement of tho
issues which havo been created in
South Africa by tho policy constantly
followed for many years by tho govern
