MR. RYAN'S INTEREST IN THE CONGO. 



DF.FORE sailing for Europe recently Mr. Thomas Fortune 

 *-' Ryan, of New York, authorized the publication of a state- 

 ment which is given here in part. Mr. Ryan has been mentioned 

 in these pages already as being interested in the American Congo 

 Co. — organized for exploiting rubber — and also in the important 

 mining concessions granted to Americans by the late Leopold, 

 King of the Belgians. Mr. Ryan said: 



"Of all my business concerns that which most interests me 

 now is the Congo development. I expect to give a great deal of 

 attention to it. It is not at all unlikely that I shall make a 

 visit there. The mines in which I am interested are just north 

 of those known as King Solomon's Mines. The outlook for 

 gold there is probably unsurpassed anywhere in the world. 



"I am interested not only in the industrial development of 

 the Congo — which country I am convinced affords the greatest 

 opportunities now to be found in the world — but also in the 

 moral and social conditions. The solution of the negro problem 

 there is perhaps the one which deserves the greatest attention. 

 The great exaggerations to which currency has been given have 

 not in any way changed the firm purpose of those responsible 

 for the future of that region to correct any abuses that heretofore 

 have existed. 



"It may be of interest to the public to know that I have now in 

 the Congo exploring it in every part more men than Henry M. 

 Stanley had upon his expedition in search of Dr. Livingston. 

 These men are working under the direction of the very best 

 men that America can produce in their various departments of 

 activities." 



An extensive sketch of Mr. Ryan appeared in The India Rub- 

 ber World December 1, 1906 (page 72), in connection with the 

 first public mention of his interest in rubber. Later we pub- 

 lished a note on his retirement from active connection with most 

 of his multifarious business interests.
