Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Nationalities and Subject Races, Vol. 8: Report of Conference Held in Caxton Hall, Westminster, June 28-30, 1910 Since the holding of the Conference, the first of its kind, which has given rise to this volume, two events occurred that must be noted. The lamented death of Sir Charles Dilke took place in January after some months of ill-health, and prevented the revision of his paper on "Forced and Indentured Labour," printed here from the rough notes he used in his address to the Conference. That the paper begins and ends somewhat abruptly will, however, be forgotten by the reader in the interest and importance of the matter it contains, set out, as it is, with that fullness and precision of information always characteristic of the great statesman the world has lost in him. In espousing the cause of those obscure peoples, for whose welfare so few care, and upon whom for long centuries the most cruel wrongs have been inflicted by men claiming to belong to higher races. Sir Charles Dilke was probing to its roots the canker of modern civilisation. He has helped to make some of us realise that we must neither accept the amenities of modern life unquestioningly, nor, having found the sources tainted, remain smugly quiescent in the enjoyment of them.
