Book Description

Excerpt from The British Case in French Congo: The Story of a Great Injustice, Its Causes and Its Lessons The story unfolded in the following chapters is one without precedent, so far as I am aware, in the relationship between civilized communities. In modern times, at any rate, nothing in any remote degree approaching it has been recorded. True, the treatment meted out to British merchants in French Congo is somewhat analogous with the proceedings recently employed by the officials of the Congo State towards the Austrian merchant, the late Mr. Rabinek. But even here the comparison is not wholly sound, because the actions of the Congo State authorities have long since debarred that so-called State from any claim to the epithet of civilized.
