Abstract
THE two official reports described in the footnote are not pleasant reading; it seems that the War Office is not the only culprit with regard to South African affairs, for the waste of life among the Transvaal miners from disease and accidents may fairly be described as appalling. But here, as in the case of the War Commission, the Briton is not afraid to wash his dirty linen in public, and for this he must be commended. The remedy for an ill will be discovered most speedily, if the symptoms are proclaimed widely and discussed freely.
