URGED TO ACT IN CONGO
United States Cooperation Nth
Britain Desired-FormaI Charges.

London, June 9-Sir Charles Dixie in the dis
cussion of the Foreign Office estimates in the
House Of Commons to-day raised the question
of the administration of the Congo State He
discussed at length the report of Roger case
ment, British Consul in the Congo State. and adj
vocated an appeal to the United States to act
with Great Britain in the matter. pointing out
that the United States was responsible for the
creation Of the Congo Free State, and saying he
believed that such cooperation would be preg-
nant with good results. Sir Charles asked II. In
the face of the facts admitted by the Belgian
government the time had not come to sweep
away all the difficulties and force the govern
ment to act by stronger measures than mere
words and dispatches with reference 10 this
horrible scandal Other speakers supported
Sir Charles's suggestion to appeal to the United
States.
The Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs Earl
Percy said the British government thought the
Congo government would readily recognize the
necessity for a searching inquiry. but the for
mer had been disappointed The Under Secre-
tary added that the Congo government imputed
to Great Britain a campaign Of calumny.
prompted by trade jealousy. but this was abso-
lutely ridiculous. Was it possible. he asked. in
the face of the Congo governments own testi-
money to avoid the conclusion that the refusal to
make an inquiry showed that the Belgian gov
reform the system which permitted such atroc-
tiles?
Mr.. Easements report had been communicated
to the United States and to the European
powers. The United States. italy and Turkey
assured the British government that they would
give It their earnest consideration. The other
powers said they believed their material inter
ests were not sufficient to warrant active par
ticipaton in the matter. The Congo govern
ment's later proposal to investigate the charges
made had altered the situation slightly, but
unsatisfactory feature of this proposal was that
the Congo government did not know what form
the investigation would take what tribunal
would carry out any reforms which might be
determined upon.
Earl Percy. at the end OF long speech re-
viewing the situation charged officials with per-
uniting 'insensate inhuman cruelties to be prac-
tised in order that they might profit by the col
lection of rubber" II was not a question. said
the Under Secretary, OF the existence OF the SOW
ereignty of the Congo State. OF that the CEN
trail government might rest assured. but the
question was the fair fame OF Western civiliza-
ton. the reputation of that creed upon whose
principles that civilization was based. 1t was
in this conviction that the British government
appealed less 10 other powers than Ia the
Congo State itself 1t in this spirit that the
British government sincerely hoped the rulers
OF the Congo State would prosecute the inquiry
TO which IL was solemnly and publicly pledged.
