To our worries, which the last resistances of barbarism have created, must be added the worries of watching the deviations of those at the avant-garde of evolution, those who are exercised by vain ambitions. At the head of this avant-garde, we find those who have been educated in our schools, whom we have employed in our administration. Abruptly torn from their milieu, without yet possessing sufficient aptitudes to adapt to their new milieu, these uprooted Africans suffer from their isolation, chafe against their lack of power, and, ceding to the perfidious suggestions that aggravate racial hatreds, soon become rebels.
