"ENLIGHTENED"
SOME ILLUSIONS
"There seems to be a certain group of writers in England and America who are so conscious of the mistakes or ill-doing of men of their own country that they cannot See the incomparably greater evil done byi foreign governments" (writes Dr Dolisle Burns) "Another illustration of the 'enlightened' is that, because 'imperialism' is bad, States which are Em.pires can do nothing right. Imperialism in this sense means the sulv jection of peoples of gpue race fo the rulers of another nation. "Great Britain, France, Belgium, Holland and Portugal are certainly Empires; but it is possible that we shall gradually, reform what is evil in the old imperialism; and, in ai.y case, a man may be moralty wrong In one of his acts and. morally right in another."
