REAP PROFIT
American Public Is Forced
to Pay S3OO,OOO,OCO to
British Interests
By BRUCE CATION
NEA Service Writer

Akron, O., June 25.-Three hundred
million dollars as profit for the Brit
ish rubber growers for the year
1925!
This is the burden that the Amer
lean public is being compelled to
shoulder.
1t comes as result of staggering
increase in the price of raw rubber
an increase that is due to an iron
clad monopoly which the Britons have
on the rubber supply of the world.
In 1924 the United States rubber
consumers paid 5000, 100000 for their
rubber. This year, according to fig
ures tabulated by the India Rubber
Review and concurred in by manu-
facturers here, the bill will be over
$500 ,000, 900, flat increase of $780,
100000.
The total sum Uncle Sam expects
to collect from income taxes this
year is only about $60O,O0O,0OO.
Heavy Tribute Y
The per capita income tax payment
for 1926 is estimated at about 1888.
The per capita share in the $500, O0O,-
600 tribute levied by the British rub
Der growers is $2.73.
Thus, each individual in the United
States is paying almost exactly half
as much to the rubber monopoly, as
profit, as he is to his own govern
n,ent at taxes.
What will be the results?
Ask any tire manufacturer here
and he will shake his head.
The rubber industry is facing a
mighty hard year. Leaders won't
discuss it freely, but it is admitted
that there will be a number Of con
solicitations and possibly failures.
Two increases in the price of tires
have already been made this year.
Further increases are expected to fol
low. Every other type Of rubber
goods is also expected to advance in
price.
All Will Be- Affected
Now this will affect you whether
you drive an automobile or not. For.
even if you don't, you at least ride in
motor busses; or you buy or ship
goods that are transported in motor
trucks; or you have in your home
electric wiring, insulated by rubber;
or you wear rubber heels: or you use
some sort of rubber appliances, day
in and day out.
So when the price of rubber goes
up more than 100 per cent you are
going to know it.
Late in 1924 crude rubber was SELF
ing at II cents a pound.
In January Of this year it began to
rise. Srhe first week in June it was
quoted at 70 cents. and still further
advances are possible.
The British monopoly is due to a
complete change in the rubber pro-
ducing world during the last 20
years.
Twenty years ago the bulk of the
, worlds rubber came from the jungles
of the Amazon. There we're no plan
tations there. Wild trees were tap
ped and the product shipped from in.
frequent collection stations.
But certain British capitalists had
started rubber plantations in the
East Indies-in Java, parts Of SUI
matra and Malaga.
AS the demand for rubber increased
F. the wild trees were unable to meet
lit. Plantations expanded, and pres

LAND REFORMS BENEFIT

4 Geneva, June 25.--LP)-During the
years following the World War a
number of European states, new and
MD. completely revised their old sys-
TENS of land tenure, and immense
areas Of land changed hands. These
changes, affecting millions of work
ers, did. not escape the attention of
The international Labor Office, which
has devoted reaserch to the results
of the movement in different coun-
1Eies, especially in it's social aspects
The weekly publication of the office

: In RhEania. according to figures
furnished by the director of the Ru-

reform, a total of 5,713,577 hectares
Of land has been appropriated. Out
bf this, more than one-half already
has been distributed to- I,026,336 cul-

that this radical change of proprie-

NEW ARCHITECTURE SPOILS
CITY'S BEAUTY, SAY ROMANS

Rome. June 25.-(P)-The vandals
who swept down upon Rome in the
early centuries of the Christian era,
destroying wantonly the great monu-
ments of the empire, and the gentry
of the Middle Ages who continued
the dissertation by tearing down such
magnificent structures as the Colos-
scum to obtain free stone, did less
to destroy the beauty and personality
of the city than modern architects
and builders are doing.
This is the lament of hundreds of
Italian and foreign artists and lovers
of architectural beauty who complain
that the curse of Standardization has
fallen upon modern Italian architec-
ture. The charm of old Rome, they
say, will have been sacrificed within
a decide to the i'll conceived idea Of
some busting unbeautiful middle
western American town. f..
Scores of ugly apartment houses,
each like the next, with no architcc-
tural distinction, are rapidly being
built in the new Pratt and Ludovisi
quarters and in many other sections
Of the city, while most Of the new
public buildings are distinguished
only by their ugliness.
Italians do not object to the con-
struction of houses with modern i'm
provcments, but they maintain that
some effort should be made in the
external decorations to conform with
the already existent beautiful exam
pies of medieval and ancient archi-
lecture.
