BRUSSELS Nov. 1.-The Belgian govern
ment will make public tomorrow the re-
port of the commission appointed by King

result OF the violent criticisms of the Brit

cieties in Great Britain aud the United
States and of Foreign Secretary Lans-
hOWne'S representations concerning the al
leged ill-treatment OF natives, the purpose
of King Leopold being TO secure com
plete and impartial statement of the ac
tual situation. The inquiries have been
in progress for fifteen months. The COM
mission, which was made up of Belgian,
Italian and Swiss pubiieists, has been
holding sessions throughout the Congo.
The Associated Press was given access to
the report which, while praising the not
able work Belgium has accomplished,
frankly crlticizes a number of abuses.
The report concludes as follows:
adopting the recommendations of the
commission will relieve the abuses and
terminate the criticisms. The recommen-
datiOns particularly cover the granting Of
the natives larger land facilities, the linz
itation of native labor the suppression
OF sentinel OFerseers, the prohibition OF
companies imprisoning natives and limit
