BRITISH REPORTS FALSE
Congo Government Denies Allegations
In Consular Reports.

Brussels, April a., The government
of the Congo Independent State has
Issued a reply to the British white book
containing reports from British con-
suls in the Congo. These reports, the
reply states are untrue, particularly
the affirmation with respect TO the ex-
action Of taxes in labor instead Of
money. The statement that transport
alton OH the upper part OF the Congo
river is a state monopoly, that the
collection Of taxes in the Katanga re-
gion is farmed out and that a CONNER
cial agent sentenced 10 death for mur-
der had been released are declared to
be equally false.
The document also goes carefully into
the questions relating to commerce and
denies that the state has placed obsta-
cles in the way of private traders.
