I undertook a study of the cost of production of the foreign wrappers and the domestic wrappers. and I had not pursued the investigation very far until I ran into this problem of forced and indentured labor in the countries where that character of wrapper is grown. However. tobacco is not the only product which is the output of forced labor or indentured labor. Especially is this true of indentured labor. and the coolie contract is of quite universal application in many of the socalled tropical countries. There have been libraries of books written upon the subject. and I have not had the time to investigate the ramifications of forced and indentured labor. I think. however. it will be conceded that in practically all of the colonies and mandatories of Holland.
