The preachers laugh was the most
strikingly odd expression Of his strik-

An export tax also was imposed II
was estimated that this action added
between $1000OO,OOO and S2OOOOO,OO0
to the annual rubber bill of the Ameri-
can people.
Unwilling to submit to this arrange
ment, American rubber interests in.
duced the government to make sur.
veys in various parts of the world to
ascertain if it would not be possible
for rubber to be produced under
American domination to the end that
American consumers would not be de-
pendent on British legislation.
Both the Department of Agriculture
and the Department of Commerce sent
out exploration parties and much valu-
able data has been gathered.
The Philippine lands deemed best
adapted to rubber cultivation are In
the large island of NIipdanao and in
the adjacent smaller islands. Mindanao
is about the same size as the state OF
Indiana. These lands are now grow.
ing very little rubber, chiefly producing
native grasses and timber. There is
but one plantation on Mindanao and
three small ones on the neighborine
island of Basilan. The largest consists
of 10000 trees.

Nearly a score of attractive harDors,

Steps have already been taken to
secure the island for the government.

principal owners and others interested,
l believe this project will be success
fully consummated and a great play

The easy accessibility of the island
is one of its foremost features. The
