TRADE HAVE PASSED
London, July 10 ? With tho dis
solution of tho Congo Reform As
sociation, which was forninlly notif
ied to the Belgian government yes
terday, the closing chapter was
wrltton In ono of the most success
ful International crusudeit over un
dertaken in England. It was admit,
todly duo almost altogether to the
efforts of this organisation of Brit
ish publicists that the atrocities of
the Congo, which so ah'ockod tho en.
lire world when they wero first ro
voalcd a dozen yonrs ago during tho
reign ot the late King l*copold, have
now entirely disappeared. Tho re
moval of the rubbor tax, or "blood
tux", toward which tho association
especially dlrocted Its energies, now
l?a\es tho natlvo of the Congo freo
to gather the natural products of
his country uud dispose of them In
Icgl lmate trade, without restriction.
"The Congo has ceased- to be
drained of its llfo-blood In thw In
terests of Belgian capitalists, who
were aided and abetted by American
financiers", today said E J). Morel,
secretary of the association, follow
ing the final meeting of the organi
zation, "and a? our objocts ha'c
neen accomplished, there Is uo fur
ther need of our existence.
"The concessionaire companies, oi
shameful memory, have all either
been annulled or their powers cur
tailed and transformed, and thous
ands of natives who had fled to rv
cetu.es of tho forest to escape their
tormentors are now back In their
old settlements on tho rlvor banks.
Tho couutry Is no longer harried by
swarms of lrrogular soldiers. And
i ho practice by the administration of
arming ono tribe against another ivt
boon abolished. Our association bus
seen all Its demands savo one real
ized. Wo failed to secure legisla
tive enactment recognizing native
tenure of laud, but the Belgian gov
ernment Is acting upon that poll.-/
without formally incorporating It l.i
"lt may take two ormore (fenera
tions to heal the wouuds inflicted ui
on tho Congo, but wo are satis
fled that a return to tho old sys
tem has now been made utterly lm
possible. The success of our agita
tion really marks an opoch in tho
history of tho relations of European
nations toward tho colored races."
