End of Congo misrule hinges on Belgian annexation accord
A Brussels cable reports Belgium’s Chamber of Deputies voting 83 to 54 in favor of King Leopold’s Congo annexation treaty. The arrangement pays two million pounds to the king and signals a shift of Congo governance to Belgian constitutional control, with calls from the Congo Reform Association and The Times for free trade and abolition of forced labour. British Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey is cited as instrumental in shaping Belgian resolve to end Leopold’s misrule and secure a stable, open Congo under international oversight.
