Scholarship & press
I am convinced that the reason why public opinion has not been more sensitive upon the question of the Congo Free State, is that the terrible story has not been brought thoroughly home to the people.
He brought with him one hundred and ten twigs, each of which represented a life sacrificed for rubber.
Any American citizen who will glance at Mark Twain's "King Leopold's Soliloquy" will see some samples of that.
