1 00:00:53,797 --> 00:00:55,846 War in south africa. There have been many little 2 00:00:55,887 --> 00:00:58,657 wars in my time, necessary little wars in remote 3 00:00:58,677 --> 00:01:01,357 parts of the world brought about by the need 4 00:01:01,378 --> 00:01:04,458 to enforce the pax britannica, the freedom of the seas and the 5 00:01:04,488 --> 00:01:08,467 peaceful growth of the trade. This war is no exception. 6 00:01:08,497 --> 00:01:10,897 For the first time, at least in my memory, 7 00:01:10,907 --> 00:01:13,819 the people of england are divided as to its value 8 00:01:13,853 --> 00:01:17,568 and its justice. 9 00:01:18,259 --> 00:01:20,393 Even among the forsytes, the younger ones naturally, 10 00:01:20,428 --> 00:01:22,528 there are those who maintain that the boers are right 11 00:01:22,563 --> 00:01:26,519 and we are wrong. Well, of course they don't 12 00:01:26,530 --> 00:01:29,919 stand a chance, sir. But I'm told they can shoot 13 00:01:29,939 --> 00:01:32,373 pretty well. I've got a son 14 00:01:32,408 --> 00:01:35,909 in the inniskillings, sir. Warmson, I didn't even know 15 00:01:35,944 --> 00:01:39,769 you were married.
