Excerpt from Kipling Day; By; Day
Have you ever seen a crowd at a famine relief distribution? You know then how the men leap into the air, stretching out their arms above the crowd in the h0pe of being seen, while the women dolorously slap the stomachs of their children and whimper. I had sooner watch famine relief than the White man engaged in what he calls legitimate competition. The one I understand. The other makes me ill.
