Excerpt from Nationalities and Subject Races, Vol. 8: Report of Conference Held in Caxton Hall, Westminster, June 28-30, 1910
Since the holding of the Conference, the first of its kind, which has given rise to this volume, two events occurred that must be noted.
The lamented death of Sir Charles Dilke took place in January after some months of ill-health, and prevented the revision of his paper on "Forced and Indentured Labour," printed here from the rough notes he used in his address to the Conference. That the paper begins and ends somewhat abruptly will, however, be forgotten by the reader in the interest and importance of the matter it contains, set out, as it is, with that fullness and precision of information always characteristic of the great statesman the world has lost in him.
In espousing the cause of those obscure peoples, for whose welfare so few care, and upon whom for long centuries the most cruel wrongs have been inflicted by men claiming to belong to higher races. Sir Charles Dilke was probing to its roots the canker of modern civilisation. He has helped to make some of us realise that we must neither accept the amenities of modern life unquestioningly, nor, having found the sources tainted, remain smugly quiescent in the enjoyment of them.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book documents and reports on the proceedings of a conference held in London in 1911, which examined the injustices and difficulties faced by subject nations across the globe. The conference focused on offering a platform for the discussion of oppression of nations, as well as for oppressed peoples to give evidence of their suffering. Attended by representatives from a range of nations, including India, Egypt, Poland, Finland, Persia, and Ireland, the conference saw passionate and detailed contributions from the likes of Lala Lajpat Rai and Mohamed Farid Bey. Through a series of opening addresses and evidence given, as reported in this book, the conference sought to gather evidence that the abuses of power carried out by the British Empire and other imperial powers were creating serious problems in the early 20th century. The author highlights that the repression of peoples and nations caused social, cultural, and economic problems that would continue to affect the world stage throughout the century.
