Scope and Contents

Letter from General Sir Ian Hamilton, Pretoria, South Africa, to WSC, on South Africa. Stating "if we could incorporate these Boers into the Empire, we should be doing a vast deal more for the future of our race and language, than by assimilating a million Johannesburg Jews. They have first class natural ability, and their brains, having lain fallow for about 200 years, will, like virgin soil produce magnificent crops".
