Suggestions in Washington that
the United States ought to be
growing its own india rubber in its
own tropical islands lend interest
to the latest figures of our enor-
nous and rapidly increasing rub
Der importation and consumption.
Not only is the United States the
consumer of 1870 of the rubber
grown in the entire world-for we
produce no crude rubber in con-
tinental United Statcs-but it has
actually quadrupled its consump-
ton since the beginning of the
war. while world production has
trebled in the same period. Our
imports of crude rubber in the
fiscal year 1914, all of which pre-
coded the war. were l3l 100000
pounds and in the fiscal year 1922
568,000,000. Meantime world pro-
duction advanced from 10000
tons in 1914 to $4,000 in the high
record year 1920, dropping to 209,-
600 in 1921. this reduction in out
turn being due to concerted action
by the rubber growers of the
world.
The total quantity of rubber i'm
ported into the United States in
the decade ending with 1922 was,
in round terms. 3H billion pounds
against less than l,0000OO,O0 in
the decade ending with 1912 That
this enormous increase in importa-
ton meant corresponding in
crease in actual use, is evidenced
by the fact that the value of rub
Der manufactures produced in the
United States was recorded by the
census Of 1920 at $l,l37,OO0,OOO
against S203000.000 decade earlier.
Meantime the expectation of rub
Der manufactures increased with
equal rapidity. the total value of
rubber manufactures exported ag-
gregating S85.0O00O0 in the cal
cndar year 1920 against $l0,00,-
600 in 1910. Automobile tires are
the largest single item and form
about half of the grand total Of
rubber manufactures exported, and

having been sent in 1920 to Ga diff
ferent countries and colonies.

they go to al, parts Of the world,
having been sent in 1920 to 90 diff
ferent countries and colonies.
The money which we have sent
out of the country for the pur-
chase OF crude rubber in the past
decade is approximately 81, 500, Co.,
900, the largest sum in any single
year being $243,0OO,0OO in 1920, but
dropping to $87,0O00OO in the fiscal
year 1922. this fall being due to
reduction in world price and not
to the quantity imported. The
import price Of rubber entering
the United States has fallen from
an annual average of $l.06 per
pound in 1911 to Sc in 1916, 4Oc
in 1919. l8c in 1921, and l5c in the
fiscal year 1922, these average
prices being those of the rubber
in the countries from which it IS
imported.
The tremendous increase in the
world production of rubber occurs
exclusively in rubber plantations
and not in the natural forests.
Prior to 1900 the world relied ex-
clusivcly on the rubber trees Of
the forests. especially Athose of
Brazil and West Africa. With the
growing demand for rubber it be-
came apparent that it could be pro-
duced more cheaply and of a bet
ter quality by trees grown on
plantations. especially if the plan
tations were established in the
tropical countries having a plenti-
full and cheap labor supply. As a
result of these enterprises the pro-
duction Of plantation rubber ad-
vanced from 4 tons in 1900 to 5000
tons in 1910. 10000 in 1915, 10000
in 1918. and $4,000 in 1920. Mean
time the fall in price reduced the
activity of those obtaining rubber
from the forests and the output
of Brazil. the chief source of for
est rubber. fell from 42,00C tons in
1912 to 10000 in 1921. and that of
the other rubber forests from 28.-
600 tons in 1912 to 5000 in 1921.
