To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sheppard asserts that he is prepared to prove the assertions he makes before an impartial tribunal which is not itself personally inter- ested in the collection of rubber and has not been appointed by any one so interested. Not only Dr. Sheppard, but other members of our Mission, can testify that they are satisfied that varying degrees of pressure are brought to bear not only upon the Bakuba people, but other tribes in this region, by your Company. It is reasonable to suppose, that those of us ...living in this region know more about what is actually going on here than you or others who do not live here. I may say that complaints are constantly coming to us from the natives to the effect that the agents of your Company threaten them with punishment from the State if they do not bring in the amount of rubber imposed. It is undoubt- edly true that impositions are made on the villages, and through fear of the State the natives make the rubber, for which they are paid only a pittance. I find that in most cases the natives regard the rubber they bring to your agents not so much as trade, but as a tax.
