INKANTHOR'S CRITTCISM
CAMBoDIAN PRINCE ON THE EVILS OF CIVIL.
IZATION.

From The London Chronicle.
The Figaro" publishes an article from the pen
OF Prince lnkanthor, heir to the throne of ca m
bodia, who seeks to prove that European colonial
policy cannot but be bad. since Europeans know
nothing OF the peoples whom they claim to cIviIize
and govern. while these very peoples are in many
respects often superior to their rulers
With us continues the artice) all can live by the
least expenditure of effort while in European civil
ization the contrary seems be the case This
doubtless permits the holdir- of glorious exhibit
uons, such as that | admire In Paris but benea IN
the splendor of this triumph perceive the struggle
WhCh have witnessed among your workmen. 1t
II this vision which haunts me, and which I shall
carry with me as the most vivid. the most painful
memory OF your civilization Of Your enormous
workshops, your suburbs of workmen and Of All
your misertes. Among the liberties which are YOUR
glory II seems to NE that many OF you possessed
above all the liberty to die of hunger
One thing has struck me at the ExposItfon-the
evidence of destructive genius. All colonial empires
have fallen because the superior peOples or those
regarded as such. have Systematically ignored the
character ana the soul ot the subject and Dro-
tected peoples because they have desired slaves
subjects instead of allies. because they have ex.
plotted them instead IF working with them The
system has shawn 70 what it leads. France has
great saTars- Why do they not remind her states
men of the teachings Of history?

The Best Prescription Is Groves

Imitators do not advertise their formula

Iron acts as tonic while the Quinine drives
