Oranges, bananas, sugar cane, and other trop ical fruits abound there. Capetown, in about the same antithetical lati tude as Dallas, has a climate sim ilar to that of the Texan metropolis. Professor Anderson greatly admires the colonial policy of the British. Their liberality is shown by th fact that he. an unnaturalized foreigner, was permitted to vote in the elec tions. The Poors had a less enlight ened policy toward the natives than have the British. It was the current opinion in America at the time of the Boor War, and one which was held by Professor Anderson himself, that the war was one of aggrandizement on the part of the British and en tirely without Justification. Since Professor' Anderson has been there, however, he realizes that the war was really forced by the Boers. The Af rikander republics sent an ultimatum to the British, demanding the de mobilization or re-embarkation of 25.000 British troops in Capetown. This request not being granted, the Boers declared war on England. There were also causes of the war such as refusal on the part of Kruger, the president of the Transvaal, to admit 'Titlanders" or foreigners, to suf frage until they had completed twelve or thirteen years continuous residence in th rpublic. his was virtually im possible since it is a well-established custom of the British colonies to re turn ever so often to England. South Africa. Professor Anderson declared, has great possibilities. Her greatest exports at present are in cold and diamonds. $060,000,000 of which are annually exported. There are as great coal fields in Natal and Kimberley as there are in the United States and as yet the surface has scarcely been scratched. The agri cultural prospects are also encourag ing. Rhodesia promises to be one of the great corn-producing sections of the world. South Africa will also be a great stock-producing country and efforts are now being made to Insure the quality of expporled beef bv care ful inspections at the shipping point". The good roads impress the trav eler. The country, which in the hin terland is a great plateau rangfng from 5.000 to 6.000 feet in height, is level and affords a good roadbed. It is possible to motor nearly anywhere in South Africa.
