GREAT BRITAIN, SLAVERY, AND INDENTURED LABOUR. rTo THE EDITOR Or
THE "SPECTATOR.") SIR,—I am very much indebted for the notice you have given
of my booklet on this subject in your issue of March 2nd. In concluding you say, "If these things are false the Agent for the colony should call Archdeacon Potter to account."
Apparently you have not noticed that in reference to every evil mentioned I gave the authority for the statement I made, and in fact copied, in most cases, what I said word for word.
In the case of the Congo I quoted from the Report of the Congo Reform Association (December 1911). In the case of
the French Congo I quoted from an article in the Nineteenth Century of November 1911. As regards North Australia I quoted from an article by W. M. Burton in the Sydney Morning Herald of December 24th, 1910. I feel sure you will recognize that it is only fair to mo that your readers' attention should be drawn to this fact.—I am, Sir, &o.,
BERESPORD POTTER.
Olivet House Hotel, Jerusalem.
