worthy speech yesterday to the Committee of the
Congo Conference IN behalf of America lie eX-

commercial basin of the Congo. The two coDcep-
tions he insisted were by means identical. If
the Powers adopted only the former and based all
their actions upon that they would deprive the
upper Congo of its natural and necessary outlet.
This outlet should in his opinion comprise all the
atuents of the Congo and also the basins of several
other rivers and laScs 1t would be absurd to ac-
cept the geographical basin of the Congo merely as
the subject for their discussion and regulation, be-
cause the rapids rendered the Congo impractcable
as an exclusive trade route to the upper river.

must be made available. The commercial concep-
