Here is a passage worth quoting
as an expression OF a traditional
French view OF duty:
"A man pardons folly in friend.
But he pardons nothing in his wife.
He expects her to be a worid-his
world. He expects her also to share
his ideas. Otherwise he will break
her little head. If one
married a peasant he would ask
nothing OF her. He would not talk
to her-but he would be less lonely.

he travelled 10 many other strange
points OF the compass. When he did
travel in the region he had thought
SO much about I've Travelled de luxe,
and 1t WAS because he had already 4

sent to obtain moving pictures of
strange tribes. He felt that thi.
region was neglected. 1t is certainly

surprised at American success in

they did not run amuck as much a.
formerly. One of the officers ordered
-ew soldiers 10 run amucl1 and make
pretense of shooting up the viii
lagos. The natives protested. They
were told that Americans had as
nuch right to run amuch as they
mad. The natives saw the point. They
suppressed much OF their own run
ming amuck.
Mr.. Powell has always taken the
white mans burden very seriously.
He was greatly disappointed in the
Chartered Company of Borneo. 1t
seemed TO him that this company
exploited the natives numerically.
Opium and gambling dens run by
the company drained all the earn
inGs of the Chinese coolies. The
Sultan of Sulu received subsidy
frDin the company. He always gam
bled his money away. Powell took
photographs OF the Sultan of Suiu
and entertained him aboard his
yacht.
MI Powell was very enthusiastic
about the Dutch administration Of
Java AID Sumatra. which was partly
due to the fact that they had no
sentiment against intermarriage with
the native races. and partly because
the Dutch who went thither made
permanent homes. They maintained
only a small army. but We're sue
