The Congo Colony has the natural advantage of the 10,- 000 miles of navigable waters afford- ed by the Congo river and its tribu- taries, “Steel rails and macadam highways supplement these water routes, but it is to the humble bicycle that Belgian Congo owes its initial devalopment.

Today| much of Katanga, which is as lme'J as California and South Carolina to- gether, is free from the tsetse fly, hence cattle thrive there. The soil is fertile,.
