propagating and growing it, and
plans are now being considered for
the establishment of an extensive rub
Der industry there.
1t is proposed to plant some $4,000
acres Of this Texas land with the
shrub and then to increase opera
tons gradually until 100000 acres
are under cultivation. Something of
the possibilities of such an industry
is shown by the results obtained in
the Torreon district of Mexico where
five years ago the annual output of
crude rubber obtained from the
guayule shrub amounted to 10000, 900
in gold.
Even under the most favorable cir
cursstances, however, many years
will be required to develop rubber
production in this country to a point
where it will amount to more than a
small proportion of the crude rubber

needed by American manufacturers.
The European war has called atten-
ton to this Infant industry" as it
has to the domestic production of
dyestutfs and il is pointed out that
the governmental it would promote
American industries of various kinds,
should aid and encourage rubber pro-
duction by means of tariff or other
legislation TO the end that we may
become Independent TO some extent at
least Of foreign producers.
In the year just preceding the out
break Of the war in Europe the entire
production of rubber in the world was
151, 900 tons. Some 10000 tons Of this
amount came from Brazil and 5000
tons came from the Dutch East In
dies, BraziPs nearest competitor.
That year the United States bought
81 900 tons, paying for it the sum Of
SOC, 100000.

Reign of Terror Shocking Whole
Civilized World Must Come
to an End.
TO TAKE ACTION
AGAINST OUTLAWS
President Directs Lansing to
Send Instructions to All
u. S. COunSels.

Washington, Sept. 21.-Horrifled by
the bloody reign of terror in Russia,
the United States today called upon
all allied and neutral nations to con-
slider what they can do to impress
upon the Bolsheviki the aversion with
wanton crimes.
By direction of the president, Secre-
tary Lansing dispatched identical in
structions to every American diplo-
matte representative in foreign capi-
tails.
The action aligns the United States
with France and Great Britain in de-
clarine the Bolsheviki outlaws and
public enemies, responsible for the
murders. crimes and excesses which
have shocked the world.
Whether action is to be taken by
the nations separately or in concert, it
is made clear that it is to be quite
apart from the prosecution of the war
against Germany.
Official reports from Russia have
told of revolving acts astounding and
shocking the world; a reign Of terror,
with the murder Of thousands Of in
nocents.
There have been great efforts by
the United States to relieve the
threatened famine in Russia. An al
lance Of the Bolshevilzi and Germany
presets a dangerous situation to the
allies, possibly affordig Germany an
opportunity to greatly increase her
waning manpower.
