Rubber Trust
Is Operating
lat Singapore

Washington, Nov. 15.--An enter
prise that bears all the earmarks Of a
venture by rubber trust is the theme
of a report made by United States
Consul James t. Dubois, at singa-
pore.
"A rubber company he says "or-
ganized by American capital and now
partially owned by English capitalists,
has securing tapping rights over all of
the government forest reserves in the
Federated Malay states.
The territory includes about 5,OOO,-
900 acres, and the company has OBJ
tanned the right to tap all jelatong
trees on this wide area for a period Of
ten years, with a renewal for seven
years moe. This company holds also
large rights in South Borneo. in Sara
wax. and in the Karimon islands. They
turned out S25.OOO pounds Of 5elatong
last year and realized for their recent
sales 1925 a pound
On the Karimon islands. situated
short distance south of Singapore,
the company is erecting a 100000
factory in addition to the large one
now in operation in sarawal0 This
factory will handle all the jelatong re
ceived from concessions outside OF
Sarawak, 1t is claimed that early in
1911. when the mills win be in full
operation. they can produce 6,o00.OOo
pounds OF ielatong gum, lO,o0o,o0e
pounds in 1912. and i2.OoO.OO0 in 1918.
These are estimates made by those
interested in this great enterprise
which promises to monopolize the iela-
tong market
The dominating interest Of The
Americans in the concessions is indf
Gated by the fact that OF last years
shipments 1884 tons came to the
United States, ,OO9 to Great Britain
and 5,09s to Continental Europe.
