With all due respect to the Senator from Wisconsin. if he were a little more familiar with conditions on the Amazon and the rubber market at Para he would not make the kind of reply that he has just made to the distinguished Senator from New Jersey. Canoes come down the Amazon to Manaos laden with rubber. No one in Manaos knows whether that rubber comes from a plantation where entirely voluntary labor is employed. or whether indentured labor is employed. Furthermore. when it gets (Iown into the Para market. and is bought by the merchants of the world. that produced by slave labor and that produced by free labor and that produced by contract labor are so hopelessly mixed up that the Senator from New Jersey is entirely correct and within his rights in asking how the Senator from Wisconsin would distinguish between them. and the answer given by the Senator from Wisconsin is not worthy of him.
