Excerpt: ... PART V CHAPTER XXVIII THE CONCESSIONS REGIME IN FRENCH CONGO "What is important in colonial matters is that the Governments, in their difficult and uncertain, but systematic, march, should have increasingly before them the ideal which they proposed to themselves, and which they never lose sight of in the darkest nights, the star which shines in the heavens, and of which the beams are justice and humanity."--M. DftCRa1s, Colonial Minister in the Waldeck-Rousseau Cabinet. "We even think that on account of the difficulty, of the impossibility, in which the natives find themselves of making known their feelings and expressing their grievances, the interests of those natives should be the object of special kindness and solicitude.... "Can we allow these natives to be subjected to the unbridled exploitation, to the economical servitude with which they are threatened? The exclusive right which the Concessionnaires will arrogate to themselves of buying from the natives living upon their concessions at such prices as they, the Concessionnaires, choose to impose, the natural products of the soil, or the harvest which their labour has produced, is but a disguised form of slavery.... In conclusion, we can but say that this Concession rigime is antagonistic to the well-being, to the material and moral progress of our natives, and to the responsibilities we have assumed in submitting them to our domination."--"Memorial" of the "French West African Company" to M. Decrais. BY one of those extraordinary contradictions of which French history affords so many curious examples, libertyloving France, with her splendid record in West Africa, having proved her capacity to successfully manage possessions in West Africa; numbering among her officials and merchants connected with ...

(In the past four years there has been a steady demand for...)
In the past four years there has been a steady demand for a new edition of Red Eubber, provoked in part nodoubt by the attacks upon the Author for having in conjunction with other pubh cmen anticipated the constructive Peace programme of President Wilson by fk couple of years; and for having, in his individual capacity, enunciated views as to the fundamental causes of the Great War of 1914-1918 which are now very widely held. A part from this personal aspect ot the case, the terrible catastrophe which fell upon Belgium, following so swiftly in the wake of the prolonged effort in which a number of Belgians played a prominent and distinguished part to free the Congo from the far more appalling visitations inflicted upon its people for twenty years, was a dramatic historical episode calculated powerfully to affect the imagination, and to revive int-erest in the Congo tragedy. 3f -J f-H- It is. now possible for me to comply with this demand and to complete a story unique in contemporary annals, the final incidents of which had still to be evolved when Red Rubber made its appearance. I desire to add here the briefest of personal allusions. As everyone acquainted with the modern history of Africa is aware, it was not I, but the late Sir Charles Dilke, i Gwynn and Tuck wells Life of Sir Charles W. Dilke may be usefully consulted.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from The Congo Slave State: A Protest Against the New African Slavery; And an Appeal to the Public of Great Britain, of the United States, and of the Continent of Europe "The sufferings of which the picture was given to the world in Uncle Tom's Cabin, are as nothing to those which Mr. Morel represents to be the habitual accompaniments of the acquisition of rubber and ivory by the Belgian companies." - Times. "Another feature of Mr. Morel's book is a tremendous attack on the Congo Free State." - Spectator. "Neither the author's language in denouncing this system, nor his condemnation of King Leopold is one whit too strong." - Speaker. "A terrible indictment of the Congo State." - Morning Post. "We know of no author who displays a more intimate knowledge of the European side of the Congo scandal." - Glasgow Herald. "Mr. Morel's work depicts at length the abuses committed by the Congo State, which have, in part, been juridically confirmed already." - Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung. "The chapters of Mr. Morel's book which will cause the greatest sensation are those which the author devotes to the Congo State. If the movement against the Congo State succeeds in its object, the author will certainly be able to claim to have powerfully contributed to its success." - Bulletin du Comité de l'Afrique Française.

Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ...was not disappointed. But two months later I noticed in a published passenger list of the latest homeward bound Congo mailsteamer, the name of my correspondent's son. My letter, as I anticipated, had evidently been used to some purpose with the high official aforesaid! Does this absence of publicity and the advantages it entails for the Congo Administration mean that the Congo Magistracy must be regarded as individually and collectively corrupt? Not at all. That, as a body, it is innoculated with the virus of the system, one need seek no better indication than that afforded by the views quoted in the Report of the Commission of Inquiry of some of its "distinguished" members on the subject of women-hostages. That in itself is about the most damaging revelation which could well be imagined, especially when we are told in the publications of the Press Bureau that the taking of womenhostages is contrary to the written law. I have a letter before me from one of the Assistants of the Public Prosecutor at Boma, offering for a consideration the documents which in his capacity of Magistrate he possesses, "documents which would astonish the world." The world has ceased to be astonished at King Leopold and all his works. Truly the usual type of European on the Congo, whether fulfilling the rule of magistrate or not, is worthy of his royal master! I have no doubt that there are honest individuals among the Congo Magistracy, and the particulars given in Father Vermeersch's recent book throw a flood of light on the way in which the honest magistrate is hampered at every turn by the Executive, when engaged in gathering evidence for the prosecution of a European criminal. But, assuming for the sake of argument that every Congo...
