The debate in the House of Commons concern ing Congo misrule ha profoundly atirred Belgian public opinion, as it proves that the "British Cabinet is now tired of making platonic and oratorical demonstrations, that Sir Edward Grey and the English Parliament have now grown alive to the seriousness of the situation, and that the time for dilatory biotics has now passed for ever.

Since 1900, when the principle of annexation was admitted. very little progress has been made to satisfy the demands of dieilisation. The exploitation of the Congo has continued fresh concessions have been granted, and forced labour has not been stopped. Every mail brings news of murders, revolts, and appalling ocimes.

For two your Mr. Stokes had control of more than 4,000. Chinese on the Bimmer and Jack mines, and be claims that throughout the whole of that time he had no trouble whatever with them. His experiences of Kafir labour, however, were in an altogether different key.
"To begin with, the Chinamen do not want to leave the Band, whereas the Kaffir hare to he bribed to come," he said. "But, the worst aspect of the change from Chinese to Kand labour is the wickedly bigh death-rate which prevails among the Kaffic

As regards erine, we found that among the 52,000 Chinese on the Rand there was less stime proportionately than among any other community, white or black. Such out. breaks as there have been among the Chinese were, in nmly every case, due to oppression and queezing by the Chinose polles, who were always inclined to abase their authority..
