him, in behalf of the American people
to use the moral support" of the Uni
ted States government to correct the
abuses. The communication is as fol
lows:
Over a year has passed since the
report of the commissioners chosen by
the chief executive and virtual owner
of the Congo to investigate conditions
in that state was published. In spit=
of their natural desire TO give all pos
sible credit to their sovereign, the com
missioners felt constrained to report
the existence of measures and prac
tices of fragrant inhumanity.
Inhuman Practices Cited.
Among these measures and prac-
tices are the following:
Il. The eXaction of a labor tax so
oppressive that many natives on whom
it falls have little if any freedom.
'2. Appropriation of land to such
an extent that the natives are practic-
ally prisoners within their own terri
tory.
'3. The employment under authority
of the government as sentries of cruel,
british blacks, chosen from hostile
tribes, who murder, pillage, and rape
the people for whose protection the
government is avowedly established.
"4. The abuse by the natives of
white representatives of officially rec
ognized companies.
Bind Children by Contract.
"5. The binding of little children to
of 10 o. IN, hx-
contracts they do not understand. and
even more serious maltreatment of
children supposedly under the immedi.
ate care of the government
''G. Great injustice in the admins
tration of the courts, so that the ma
tives dread the name of Bona, the
place where the judicial system is cen
tralized
~. The sending out of punitive ex-
petitions. not for the purpose of estab-
fishing peace and order, but for the
purpose of terrifying the natives into
paying a tax. which, as administered,
even the commissioners regard as in
human.
'.It is to be remembered that these
are not charges brought against the
Congo government. but findings of the
which was appointed by
the chief executive of the government
to investigate and report on the facts.
Acting upon these findings. second
also appointed by the king,
has recommended measures of reform.
Urges Action to End Evils.
"No steps have been taken to adopt
them. There is no evidence that the
Congo government is undertaking seri-
0usly to remedy these evils. The pow
ers which created the Congo govern
nent have clearly a right to call that
government TO account. Inasmuch as
