I was just coming to that. The most outrageous of all the demands. was that made by Great Britain. that her subjects in the Transvaal on being naturalized. should not be required to renounce allegiance to the Crown. What nation on earth permits a naturalized citizen to retain allegiance to his native land? Does our Government permit it? No. we say as Paul Kruger said: If you help run the Government in times of peace. you must fight for it in times of war. even where the conflict is against the mother country. Is there anything wrong in that? Does not England herself require from every one of her naturalized subjects the renunciation of his allegiance to his native country? Of course she does. With what justice. then. can she demand a different course from the South African Republic?
