This Is exactly the type of labor that produces Sumatra tobacco. although today it may not be absolutely prison labor. because the Minister to the United States from the Netherlands agreed that no longer would they use forced labor. They admitted that up to that time they had used forced labor. but claimed they would not do it again. But. whatever kind of labor it is. it is coolie labor. nothing else. it is practically slave labor. Those people get from 15 cents to 24 cents a day. whereas our workers in the tobacco fields get $4.20 a day. Now. if the gentleman from Ohio wishes this type of cheap labor to supplant our laborers in the Connecticut Valley.
