Great Britain and Belgium

Daily Express No. 3408 (p. 4)

To the Editor of the "Daily Express."

Sir, — I do not think that your correspondent's report of what the man in the street in Belgium thinks about tho Congo atrocities can fairly be weighed against the official papers upon the subject.

As to prison reform. I am heartily at one with your correspondent. But is that aspiration incompatible with the fulfilment of our treaty obligations to these natives?
