Montagu White is glad that Frederick Courteney Selous is answering Governor Roosevelt’s questions about “the South African difficulty.” White believes that American public opinion is growing in favor of the Boers, and that those who wish to preserve the special friendship with Great Britain should push for peace in order to prevent anti-British feeling. White thinks that if the Boers lose their independence, Britain will lose South Africa.
