Orders of the Day — Acquisition of Land Bill. (10 Apr 1919)

Mr William Royce: ...learned Gentleman the Member for the Exchange Division of Liverpool (Mr. Leslie Scott) dealt with betterments and various other items in connection with land, I sighed for the time of the late Paul Kruger. The story is told of him that two brothers could not agree in the matter of an undivided farm. The old man thought for a few moments as to how he should proceed, and finally he said, "I...

Orders of the Day — Indemnity Bill. ( 3 May 1920)

Mr Ernest Pretyman: ...this Commission so far as I recollect, was where there has been actual loss, where property had been destroyed, that instead of people being able to claim moral and intellectual damages, à la Paul Kruger, they should only get actually what they lost, or what damage or injury they had sustained to their goods. This is what the House agreed to in principle. That was then stretched and...

Orders of the Day — Treaty of Peace (Hungary) Bill (20 Apr 1921)

Commander Hon. Joseph Kenworthy: ...about the Germans more than anything else are really the insults they threw at us at the beginning of the War in reference to our "contemptible little Army." We also remember years previously the Kruger telegram of the Kaiser. Therefore I welcome this spirit as represented by the head of the Foreign Office in this House in pleading for temperate language in regard to foreign countries. If...

Orders of the Day — Supply.: Class Ii. (23 Mar 1922)

Mr Ronald McNeill: ...hon. Gentleman is not so simple-minded as I feared, and I hope he will get less simple-minded day by day; but he will remember a very famous occasion after the South African War, when President Kruger, in putting forward his claims, made a very large claim for moral and intellectual damage.

Orders of the Day — Allotments Bill. (20 Mar 1925)

Colonel Josiah Wedgwood: ...how long are we to be kept back by this purely artificial obstruction called private ownership of land. The same problem faced the Dutch in South Africa, and, as poor whites accumulated, President Kruger gave them all burgher-right plots up to two acres. Let us look at this Bill from that point of view. What' does it do to make it easier for the allotment holder or the prospective...

Orders of the Day — Allotments Bill.: New Clause. — (Compulsory acquisition of land for allotments.) (26 Jun 1925)

Colonel Josiah Wedgwood: ...were faced with a somewhat similar problem on a much smaller scale. There were in South Africa people known as "poor whites"—landless whites—who were becoming a very serious problem. President Kruger, to meet this difficulty, allotted to all these whites what he called burgher erven in the suburbs of the various South African towns. Anybody who has been in South Africa will know that...

Orders of the Day — Locarno.: Treaty of Mutual Guarantee. (18 Nov 1925)

Mr Shapurji Saklatvala: ...Europe. It was a great struggle for economic prizes in the distant parts of the world. We know that the root causes of all wars are not troubles in south-eastern Europe, not the deeds of President Kruger, or this or that, but there are always some economic prizes to be obtained by one nation from another nation. I would put it in the name of the working classes—no sensible men and women...

Orders of the Day — Housing (Financial Provisions) Act, 1924. ( 2 Dec 1926)

Lord Henry Cavendish-Bentinck: ...and principles of the Conservative party. There is such a thing as too much talk about Socialism to-day. I remember that Mr. Rudyard Kipling during the Boer War warned us that we should not kill Kruger with our mouths. We cannot kill Communism by talking about it, or against it. We have got to get down to the factors which create Communism, and 1, for one, shall never cease to protest...

Orders of the Day — Russo-British Relations. (26 May 1927)

Mr James Maxton: ...Imperialism in every corner of the world, does not justify this action. You talk about Borodin here to-day. It reminds one of the way in which we were supposed to tremble when we heard the names "Kruger" or "Napoleon." Right throughout history there was always a bogey. You talk about Borodin and his pro-Russian propaganda in China. Every week since the trouble began in China I have had...

Orders of the Day — Local Authorities (Emergency Provisions) Bill.: Clause 2. — (Provisions as to Metropolitan Common Poor Fund.) (23 Apr 1928)

Mr John Wheatley: ...seven, they have been producing evidence to show that the people ought not be trusted. During the Boer War an article was written by an American humourist named Dooley, the gist of which was that Kruger made a mistake in refusing votes to the Outlanders, and that, he ought to have given them the votes but insisted on his right to count them at election times. I think the Government must...

Oral Answers to Questions — Government Departments.: New Silver Coinage. ( 7 Jun 1928)

Mr Winston Churchill: ...by numismatic artists of high standing and were considered with great care by the Standing Committee which advises the Master of the Mint on such questions. The designs selected were by Mr. George Kruger Gray and were recommended by me to His Majesty for approval. A full account of the matter will be found in the Report of the Royal Mint for 1926, pages 11–13. All silver coins struck in...

Civil Estimates, Supplementary Estimate, 1928.: Class IX. (20 Dec 1928)

Colonel Josiah Wedgwood: ...up, this land should undertake no longer to draw their unaugmented benefit. I give this as an illustration; it is not original. I had it originally from South Africa. Thirty years ago President Kruger was faced with an unemployment problem, the growth of "mean whites," burghers who had lost their land and were sinking to the level of the blacks. That must never he allowed. Kruger tackled...

General Provisions with Respect to New Customs Duties. (10 Feb 1932)

Mr Frederick Cocks: ...disastrous to the economic and industrial life of the country and to its prosperity. During the Boer War there was a class of persons, of a not very creditable kind, who were spoken of as "killing Kruger with their mouths" that is, they talked but did not fight. Certain members of the Cabinet who are Free Traders are in much the same category. They make attacks in speeches but when it...

Oral Answers to Questions — Russia (British Claims). (10 Jul 1933)

Major-General Sir Alfred Knox: 12. asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has considered the letter sent to him from Mr. E. N. Kruger, late general manager of the Lena Goldfields, complaining that, owing to the default of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, he and many other British employés of that firm, mostly ex-service men, have been deprived not only of the employment but also of wages due...

Orders of the Day — Incitement to Disaffection Bill. ( 2 Nov 1934)

Mr George Lansbury: ...treatment between one set of propagandists and another. Those who were propaganding by gun got scot free, that is, Lord Carson and his friends, and those —I remember the old saying about killing Kruger with your tongue—who were only using their tongues, were sent to prison. That shows that the law is not equitably administered.

Oral Answers to Questions — Coal Industry.: Southern Rhodesia. ( 5 Mar 1935)

Mr Oswald Lewis: ...the proposal to set aside an area in the south-eastern portion of Southern Rhodesia with a view to securing a partial reserve for the natural fauna of the colony to adjoin the northern end of the Kruger National Park?

Orders of the Day — Export Guarantees Bill. (15 Dec 1938)

Hon. Oliver Stanley: ...conclusive. As far as I remember, the Junior Burgess for Oxford conclusively rejected Karl Marx, reluctantly abandoned Cobden and was inclined to find the new economic saviour of the world in Mr. Kruger, of Swedish match fame, although between the first and the second editions events occurred which necessitated some amendments. The right hon. Gentleman pointed out that my right hon....

War Situation. ( 3 Oct 1939)

Mr John McGovern: ...is a case of the ruling class with its back to the wall fighting to preserve its interests. We are told that we are fighting to destroy Hitler. We have always had a bogy man. In the Boer War it was Kruger. In the last war it was the Kaiser. In this war it is Hitler. God knows who it will be in the next war. We went into the last war, with the Czar as an ally, to fight for freedom and...

The War.: The War. (12 Oct 1939)

Mr Reginald Sorensen: ...it is customary for human nature thus to try to forget its own responsibility and to seize some scapegoat and make it the excuse for evading such responsibility. In the Boer War, it was President Kruger who became the pivot of our hatred and hostility, and in the Great War it was the Kaiser. In this war, it is Herr Hitler. I do not deny that that man has a very great responsibility, but...

Orders of the Day — Civil Estimates, Supplementary Estimate, 1939.: Foreign Office. ( 7 Feb 1940)

Sir Stanley Reed: ...to give certain details as to the work of this body and a statement of its personnel. In regard to the personnel, all that I can say is that if humanity was staggered by the demands of President Kruger after the South African War, many more people in this House and out of it were staggered at the array of professorial talent and the salaries necessary to produce this service. The...
