Emden,s Sinking a
Boon TO Tire Makers

THE German cruiser Emden,
1 which was recently sunk,
probably cost the rubber industry
in America $1,000, 900, directly or
otherwise, and had she been al
lowed to continue to roam the In
dian Ocean indefinitely she would
have cost American industry still
more" says an official Of the
Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany.
Before the Sydney ended the
Emden's career she sank nearly
two dozen merchant ships. One of
these carried 1900 tons of crude
rubber from the Far East bound
for London, and two others car
ried 500 tons Of crude rubber each.
Crude rubber prices advanced
steadily until they were IL cents
pound above normal. Since the
sinking Of the commerce destroyer
rubber prices have been gradually
returning"
