Excerpt from L'Oeuvre Africaine du Roi Léopold II, Vol. 3: De Banana au Stanley-Pool, 1887-1911; Conférence Donnée à l'Exposition de Charleroi le 11 Septembre 1911
La comparaison qui en découlera est la démonstration la plus éloquente qui se puisse faire de la grandeur de l'oeuvre africaine et de la confiance que la Belgique doit avoir dans son avenir. Au cours de cet exposé, j'aurai l'occasion de traiter diverses questions sur lesquelles il me paraît désirable d'attirer l'at tention des pouvoirs publics et du pays.
