" I remember Mr Dormer, the famous editor of the Cape Argus, leaning across the table to me and saying, " He has burnt his boats at last. " Sir Hercules was wrong, as time has proved, but he 172 CAPE POLICY was not the only one who thought at that time that it was a case of "hands off" for England in the future destiny of the country. By far the most powerful personality then in the Cape Colony, and I may almost say in South Africa, was Sir Henry (now Lord) de Villiers, and I think that, so far... as Transvaal policy went in the entourage of the High Commissioner, he positively moulded it. And yet he, like Mr Hofmeyer in the matter of local politics, seldom appeared. He was the man behind the scenes. It is too soon and events are too new for me to speak of the part which I well knew that he took not only in Cape Town but in Pretoria. The Cape was determined to control Imperialism, and the agents of the Cape were at work in almost the highest posts in the Transvaal building up this policy.
