What reading level is A Reply to the Belgian Manifestos book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Capital Test of the Reform Proposals, Turning to the Reform proposals, the Public are perfectly competent to apply to these proposals the capital test without any appeals from Belgium.
There is hero no question of argument nor of interpretation ; but, once more, a question of tact.
If this so-called " forced labour " (with all its hideous concomi- tants) imposed for purposes of revenue, is, as the Public is assured, to cease, the sums derived from it must obviously be replaced. It is equall...y obvious that those sums can only be replaced, for several years to come, by a grant-in-aid from the Belgian national exchequer or by a loan which the Belgian Government would guarantee. In providing for such grant or loan Belgium wonld merely be fulfilling the natural sacrifice consented to by every civilised people which indulges in the luxury of a tropical dependency, until such time as expanding trade and industry provides a sufficient revenue to cover expenditure. In the case of the Congo that probationary period will probably be longer because the policy of the last seventeen years has been one not of commercial development, but of forcible pillage.
