Excerpt from Collected Notes on the Tropics for a Living: Finance, Labour, Education This book was originally published under the title that appears as the head line to each left hand page. In those days the question of native labour supplies and how far they would go round, was the dominant factor at all producing centres. The trouble still exists, although the world is now suffering from a bad attack of under-consumption. When we all settle down and ask for normal supplies of tropical products, the labour question will become acute in the rush to plant up new areas so as to satisfy the demands of those who have gone short for so long. With such a prospect, the future planter and trader in the tropics must be trained accordingly. With an Agricultural College (about to start) in Trinidad, British West Indies, those able to finish their training there, after a sound practical training at home, will be able to learn much concerning the latest time and labour-saving appliances. It will be necessary to do so, as the producers of to-morrow will find labour a luxury that they cannot always afford. Of late, judging by what one hears, the need of cutting down costs is causing many women to be taken back again into employment after having given up their berths to ex-soldiers. Such women badly need the money and are not "joining up" for fun. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
