The prompt aniltm of bringing Mil

Us bad no business to appoint delegates
to the Berlin syndicate of nations for
taking possession of the Congo basin.
This scheme, started by Lkopold, or

BsFKnoit William, almply means the
ponacsalou of that fertile region of wost-
ern Africa between the Congo and Niger
rivers and the establishment over It of
