Chamberlain Defends South African Policy in Commons
In a Commons session Joseph Chamberlain rebutted opposition attacks on South African policy. He criticized the opposition for efforts to embolden President Kruger and hinder negotiations. He denied provoking Transvaal tensions and disputed Stanhope’s demands for his letter, asserting no contact with Cecil Rhodes since the Jameson raid and arguing war in South Africa was inevitable to protect British subjects and uphold Britain as the paramount power.
