/" senator Mccormick. republican, IL
linois. made public at the Commerce
department. in spite of assurances
from the British representatives that
the only objective of recent British
legislation restricting rubber produc-
tion in the colonies was to establish
Il price under which reasonable re-
turns could be secured and the neces-
SarE expansion of rubber plantations
obtained to keep pace with world de-
lnand.
Would Avoid Speculation.
Representatives of the American
consumers Of crude rubber. told at the
conference UneE Were desirouS OF Sc

uucinG industry, but We're fearful
lest the restriction plan stimulate

Inmate collapse in prices. This. they
said. would in turn work great harm
10 the American consumers through
speculation and losses
The British representatives replied
that the restrictive Legislation had
been necessitated in the first place by
the virtual collapse of the industry.

that there are nations that would
