Mr Winston Churchill made an elaborate defence, denying that there was any connection between the guarantees and the repatriation of Chinese. He admitted that unless the guarantee was offered, the Transvaal Government would be compelled to appeal, hat in hand, to the mine-owners for a loan, and tjiey, might stipulate for the retention of the Chinese.
