Regarding your specific query reagrding slave labour, there was a very good letter written by Dr Helmuth Loofs-Wissowa in the newspapers some weeks ago. Perhaps he would send you a copy. No e-mail listed, but could be reached by snail mail, faculty of Asian studies, ANU, Canberra, A.C.T. 0200. I also suggest you subscribe to Burma Net, if not already on it. Gehan
