One can hardly dispute the interest that we have in keeping the small number of them that we possess, and we therefore should not remain indifferent to that which affects them. When one closely examines the administration of the colonies established by diverse European peoples, one sees that it is based on a small number of very plain principles.

Institutions and ideas are unfortunately rejected with complete unanimity. Certain of our good duty, we nevertheless have kept persisting in our doctrines, with the result being that up to this day a sufficient number of disastrous operations have occurred that convincingly prove that, with respect to colonies, our grand principles are, as much from the theoretical point of view as from the practical point of view, lamentable errors. ...
