tain their lead, however, for on a
vote to lay on the table, motion to

subsidy were defeated, 1876 to 159e
and vote to reconsider the first vote
was adopted, 164 to 154.

ported favorably from the committee of
foreign relations on Friday his resolu-
ton calling on the president for infor-
nation as to any concessions Ameri-
cans may have received from King
Leopold for the gathering Of India
rubber in the Congo Free state.
The Morgan statement recites how
capitalists of the civilized nations are
pushing into the rubber forests with
all manner of monopolistic arrange.
ments for subjecting this great pro.
duct--the gift of nature-to their
craving for wealth
He arraigns King Leopold "for the
manner In which he has exploited the
Congo lands In accommodating wealth to
himself by imposing tasks of personal
labor to the extreme of cruelty upon
the native population"
Mr.. Morgan charges that conces.
sionaires have been empowered by
King Leopold to exercise the same
distressing authority over the people
over which they have proceeded to
enforce without restraint and without
the responsibilities to public opinion
which should check their avarice and
greed In dealing with an ignorant and
subjugated people"
