Congo, The: a report of the commission of enquiry appointed by the Congo Free State government. *$1. Putnam.
“The main topics taken up in the commissions’s report are the land régime, taxation, military service, trade concessions, depopulation, and the administration of justice. In respect to all of these matters, numerous evils are pointed out: the arrogance of the government in appropriating alleged vacant lands, the oppressiveness of the labor tax, the terrorism and cruelty resulting from quasi-military expeditions, the exploitation of the natives by agents of greedy commercial companies, and the lax jurisdiction of the territorial courts.”—Dial.
