I read from page 48: In the first place. the attempt to acclimatize the white man In the Tropics must be recognized to be a blunder of the first magnitude. All experiments based upon the idea are mere idle and empty enterprises. foredoomed to failure. Excepting only the deportation of te African races under the institution of slavery. probably no other idea which has held the mind of our civilization during the last three hundred years has led to so much physical and moral suffering and degradation or has strewn the world with the wrecks of so many gigantic enterprises. In the second place. the question of exploiting any tropical region by regarding It primarily as an estate to be worked f or gain must be abandoned. The endeavor of the continental nations of Europe to base the relationship of the occupying power to such territories and their inhabitants on the principle of profit. surrounding the regions with laws and tariffs operating in the exclusive interest of the power in possession. must be regarded as merely a return in modified form to the old plantation system.
