South Africa.
MR CHAMBERLAIN IN CAPE TOWN. Mr Chamberlain, who was slightly indisposed, addressed a large meeting at Paarl, thirty-six miles from Capetown. He emphasised, among the Generals’ other resons for not joining the Transvaal Council, their declaration that the Transvaal wanted peace to recuperate. Mr Chamberlain added that the Cape Constitution must be a panacea for disloyalty. Subsequently Mr and Mrs Chamberlain reached Capetown, where they are the guests of Sir Walter Hely-Hutchirison, Governor of the colony. The reception was enthusiastic. There were lavish decorations, and a triumphal arch had been erected. A termendous ovation was accorded him from ten thousand people assembled in. Greenmarket Square.
In acknowledging an Australian address, Mr Chamberlain dwelt warmly on the splendid service rendered by Australians in the war. He hoped that the chronic racial antagonisms in South Africa would be merged in a broad spirit of Imperial citizenship. Sir Gordon Sprigg, Cape Premier, who was present, was vigorously hooted.
