'Miss Hobhouse acted as a delegate of the Commission of the "Distress Fund for South African Women and Children in South Africa," and investigated the position of the people in the concentration camps, with the permission of Lords Kitchener and Milner, from whom she received assistance and co-operation. She paints a vivid picture of the miseries which were stated to have been endured by the women and children, and remarks, "I call this camp system a wholesale cruelty . . . . To keep these camps going is murder to the children." - Mendelssohn Vol.I, pages 717-718
