Enormous Rubber. Plantation In Su-
matra Developed by American
Industry In Ten Years. 10

Perhaps the most surprising thing
about the enormous rubber plantation
that covers nearly 100000 acres in
Sumatra, recently described by a
writer in Commerce and Finance. is
that less than ten years ago one could
have travelled these acres without see
ing rubber tree. The land was &C.
quired by an American company, and
the rubber trees followed. To-day they
count up to something like 5000, 900,
tended by an army Of about 10000 la
borers, most of whom come from the
neighborfng island Of Java. The land
rises to slight eminence overlooking
the sea Of rubber trees which stretches
for miles in every direction, with here
and there .glimpses Of the fine roads
over which motor cars travel. the plan
tation on business or carry passengers
between the bungalows Of the estate
managers. Sixty-ive miles of narrow
gauge railway run through this re-
markable rubber forest, with every
tree raised in response to the TWEEN
tieth century commercial demand for
rubber. >.s.. a : ~ = ,-

Pacific Blockade

Pacific blockade is term invent
ed by Hautefeuil1e, the French writer
on international maritime law, to de-
scribe a blockade exercised by great
power for the purpose of bringing
pressure to bear weaker state
without actual war The pacific block
ade has apparently established itself
as a legitimate means of coercing a
weak power to. observe its interna-
tfonal obligations without reSOrting to
war for that purpose 1t is modern
development and has usually been the
act of several powers acting in concert
1t was first employed in 1927. when
the combined fleets of Great Britain
France and Russia >blockaded a por-
ton of the Turkish coast More re
cent instances of its exercise were the
blockade of Crete by the powers in
1897. the blockade of Venezuelan ports
by Great Britain Germany and Italy

what IS still more important, he gets
