"I choose the, country under which we suffered 40 or 50 years ago, but which, when we were at her mercy, treated us as a Christian people should. England—when I speak of England, I take off my hat. We who have, been through something similar can appreciate it when a nation stands as fast as a wall. Our choicc is south, Africa, no matter what our language or our origin may be, is to remain on the road of independence of .self-government of Parliamentary institutions of justice and humanily. On that road we shall persevere."
