RUBBER PRODUCTION
STILL EXCEEDS CONSUMPTION
Reduced Output of Tires is Reflected in Con-
tinued Low Price of Crude Rubber.
tBy TAe wa.hi.Ete. Herald Eee.snist)

Der cent Of the rubber produced,
that has brought about the present
surplus. About 75 per cent Of this
acreage In owned by British capital
and located in British territory.
The result is that the British rub
ber market is In q. particularly bad
condition.
The English companies are facing
q depreciation in the value Of their
stocks and are operating at a loss
even though output has been re-
stricted to q large extent There IL
a feeling that such IN essential prod
uct can not long be produced at .
loss since the demand must shortly
absorb the surplus. At present
prices synthetic rubber can not
compete with the genuine article.
Although the United States owns
but few rubber plantations in the
Philippines, Il IL by far the largest
consumer of crude rubber. In 1913
the United States used about 50 per
cent Of the worlds production.
while in 1917 the amount had In
creased to nearly Is per cent.
Great Britain stands second in the
line consuming about - per cent in
1917.
In the United States the largest
amount of rubber went into the
manufacture Of automobile tires
and tubes, or approximately 70 per
cent of crude rubber and % per cent
of reclaimed rubber. The United
States has always led in the manu-
facture Of rubber goods and has
also been the leader in recent years

tires and tubes. The production OF
tires in the United States in 1914
was q little over 100000 tires
to nearly 26,o0o.000. and In 1890 a.
100000. This increase, however. has
! not kept pace with the increase In
rubber production and there has
also been a decrease in the use oi
rubber in the industries due to the
general Industrial depression and
the growth in the use of reclaimed
or, "shoddy" rubber. Many indus
tries now use more reclaimed rub.
Der than they do of the new crude
product
The history Of rubber prices dur.
ing the war Is one Of almost con-
tinual decline and for the greater
part Of the period 1913-1S the price
was below the level at the begin
ming OF 1913. The import regula.
tions of the War Trade Board was
a factor in keeping rubber prices
down since It was one Of the FIRST
commodities on which import
licenses were required.
1t Is interesting to note that while
the prices of all rubber products in.
creased from 1916 to 1918. the price
Of crude rubber was stilNdeclining
1t was not the cost of crude rubber
that was the cause Of the increase
in the price OF automobile tires, but
rather the increases in cost OF
fabrics and labor. Tho decline OF
crude rubber prices since the begin
ming of the war Is indicated In the
following table:

proper precautions to protect the
title of vessels 1t had allocated 20

which, he said, had practically
passed into British ownership.
"If the British Board of Trade
had controlled the affairs Of the

done worse for our merchant ma
rine than the SShipping Board has
DONE" he declared.
The combination between the
railroads and British shipping COM
panies to ship American goods In
Englisft bottoms had been accom-
plished, the Senator said. through

ates. Pointing out that in great
many instances the directors Of the
largest railroads of the company
also hold directorates in the British
shipping corporations, he declared
The roads that bring the prod

shipment, OF course, largely control
these shipments. Here We see how
skilfully the masters of transporta.

Britain and the United States are
combined in interest and associated
together to control our maritime
commerce in the interest Of British
