PUBLICITY BEST PROJECTION

Dynasties have been oyer'hrown and
monarchies sent into exile for less off-
ences than those with which Leopold OF
the Belsians, the tyrant OF the Congo,
has been charged. The Belgian govern
menf has promised the natives OF the sub
ject province will be well treated, that
the taxes will be reduced, that they Will
be payable in money and not in tribute,
that the food tax will be abandoned, the
government AGENTS salaried by the BEL
sians and not by the natives and the rub
Der forests will be replanted.
A colonial policy-or the beginning of
one-hss been substituted for policy OF
spoiiation. Civilization has been deeply
interested by published reports Of Congo
atrocities, some OF which bear a striking
resemblance to barbarou, Mexico's treat
meat Of the Yaquis. Leopold has been
reformed, not by moral suasion, but by
fear OF what might. follow exposure.
Great is the power OF the press. Great
is publicity. 1t chastens the spirit Oi
czars, tames fyrannical kings, cows des-
potic dictators, smashes political ma
chimes and puts corporation bosses out OF
business.
