| By chance I happened to mention this to a native Africander. |
| The question of independence is so dear to every Africander that this word can hardly be spoken. |
| But we may not sacrifice the Africander people for that independence. |
| Was it a good thing that they should allow a people that had struggled as the Africander people had done to share such a fate? |
| If once they were vanquished, it was all over with the Africander people, and all chance of a revival would be gone for ever. |
| By doing so we shall deliver a death-blow to the Africander race. |
