John Morley Thus Bjeaks of the War
England Wages He Blames
the Government,
London, (By Cable, )—John Morley, the
former Liberal leader, addressing his con-
stituents at Forfar, Beotiand, made little
references to the present aspocts of the war
in Bouth Africa, confining himself chiefly to
un renewal of his indictment of the “policy
which led to hostUities,"
Heo ridiculed “the notion that a few Boer
sucoessea ontitled the Transvaal to be de-
scribed ns a first-class military power,” and
declared that ‘the fact of the Doers sending
the ultimatum no more disposed of all other
questions than the deflance of the American
colonists, in throwing the tea into Boston
harbor, disposed of all the questions of the
war of Awerlean Independence,
“It ls certain,” continued Mr. Morley, ‘that
had the Government appreciated the temper
of the Transvasl people and foreseen what
was coming—what we nll know in these
black, gloomy days—there would have been
no war, It Is dreadfal, but true, that a want
of decent foresight and decent information
lod the Government to stumble into war in
the dark,
“Lord Ballsbury's menacing speech of July
28, it applied to a great power, could only
have meant war, It was absurd, if the Gov.
ernment really believed in a Dutch conspir-
acy, to spend time in negotiations regarding
the franchise, The conspiracy was an after-
thought of the Government, conjured up to
mask a hideous and ghastly blunder,”
In conclusion Mr, Morley declined to com.
mit himself as to what would happen in the
future, but he warned his hearers not to be
daped by the idea that the Boers, after do
feat, would settle down quietly,
