Cheap Rubber Available.

London, of course. always has been
the transfer point. but the high-grade
rubber In stock there would not supply
the American rubber manufacturers
more than a week. Naturally At this
point also are big accumulations of
'on grades available (that IL, cheap
rubber usually unstable for the max
ing of tires). and there has been recent
activity in this grade. Firestone. how
ever. would close their plant rather
than use this low-grade rubber.
Being shut of from the east, we
must look to South America for our
supply. Here we find only = few hun
dred tons in stock, because the Bra
lillian district has steady market for
all 1t turns out during the open season.
Just now this country Is flooded with
torrential rains, and the gathering OF
crude rubber cannot start until Octo-
Der. So we ind but little immediate
relief there.
When shipments start to come In
from the east crude rubber prices
probably will decline sharply: although
il has been reported unomcial1y that
when navigation stopped the planta-
tion owners laid of their men and
ceased tapping the trees. This, Of
course. would mean a shortage of rub
Der. but 1t Is my personal opinion that
transportation Is the main difficulty,
and that as soon as navigation opens
we will find plenty Of rubber to sup
ply this country"

TRANSPORTATION CRUX
Of RUBBER SITUATION
II. s. Firestone Says Only Resump.
tion Of Shipments Can Relieve
Conditions.

In an interview with H. s. Firestone.
president Of the Firestone Tire and
Rubber Company. Akron. Ohio. regard
ing the present crude rubber situation.
quite a few interesting bits Of informa-
tion were given out. He said:
"A~sharp turn Of war conditions may
quickly relieve the present tie-up OF
navigation and permit crude rubber
shipments 10 reach US. but right now
the situation Is serious. Just to be an
optinnist, 1 might tell you that the
crisis lis past. but I can't do 1t without
deceiving/ both you and myself.
1T needs no deep analysis or exhaus-
tive investigation to size up the crude
rubber situation. Everything Is on the
surface, and everybody who reads the
war news knows as much as the rub
Der manufacturers as to the date when
regular shipments will again start
Here are the facts-More than 80
per cent Of the crude rubber used in
the United States comes from the far
east, via the Red sea and the Medi-
terranean. No merchant ships are pass
ing through these seas now, and we
don't know when they will start, sure
ly not for a while. Shippers could d.
vert the shipments via the Pacific
ocean to our western coast. but this
change would require time. and we
