Potential Production There Is
Estimated at 80, 900
Tons a Year
b ROBERT S. THoRNBURGH

By ROBERT s. THORNBURGH
Pushing the campaign to free
American industry from the grip
Of foreign monopolies in essen
tial raw materials, Secretary Of
Commerce Hoover today advised
American capital that the base
for q gigantic rubber industry
lies along the Amazon river in
South America, Hoover's report
was based on q raw material SUR
vey submitted to him by COM
n1ittee of experts.
Big Area Available
The report, chapter in Hoover's
world wide study OF raw materials,
shows that there are fully 150. 900
acres Of land along the Amazon
available for rubber plantations.
The territory is tapped by excellent
water communication, free from
dangerous political obstacles and
capable of producing from % 900
to 3d. 900 tons of rubber annually.
While the potential production
would not greatly affect the Amer
lean market which this year prob
ably will consume over $4,000 tons
Of rubber, the Amazon offers the
foundation for q vast rubber pro-
ducing area, Government experts
found.
Among HooYer's suggestions to
meet foreign monopoiies in rubber
and other materials, is that Amer
lean citizens so abroad and fin
ance rival production plants. The
rubber report, following survey
of the same industry In the middle
east and Philippines, is aimed at en-
couraging foreign investments.
Big Investment Already
The United States has approx
mately $I,75O. 900 900 invested In
South American nitrate, copper,
silver. oil, meat packing and the
tanning extract industries but at
kempte at ablishment Of rubber

10 the former low price Of rubber.
In connection with the report. Of
GciaIs said that the industries OF
United States win require more
than 500, 600 tons Of rubber n 1890.
The bulk of the import comes from
the middle Eastern plantations con-
trolled by the Dutch and British
monopoly.
