\ RUBBER CRISIS

\ RUBBER CRISIS
 The rubber situation as it is to- day reminds forccfulIy of the cotton situation during tho first term of President Wilson, Those with long memories will remember that the President backed tho "buy a bale of cotton" movement, which had for its object the stablizaton o7 tGc price of cotton, which was at low water mark following the outbreak of the World war, It was claimed at the time that If sufficient num- Der Of persons in the country bought a bale of cotton and each kept it stored the southern cotton industry would be saved" from disaster and the buyers In due time would get their money back with a little profit.
 A few years ago, when a similar calamity faced the rubber interests. astounding efforts were made to stimulate the use of more rubber. We were told that rubber could be used in the making of a large varie- ty of articles; that rubber could be 
 hardeled and made to take the place of wood in some cases, and that a greater consumption would place great industry upon it's feet. Such treatment was absolutely es- sential. we were told, if the rubber companies were not to be thrown into bankruptcy, resulting in a few years of a lack of production in suffiient quantities to meet the cur rent demand.
 But both in cotton and rubber conditions righted themselves of their own accord. The World war, instead of spelling the doom of the cotton industry, ultimately revived 1t enormously-and enhanced the price to make plutocrats of the planters. The rubber industry, par taking of the qualities of the product itself. righted itself with the paternalisuc aid of the British government; and today we are alarmed over the fact that the price of crude rubber has advanced to three or four times its former fig ures.
 The Rubber Association of Amer ica which is meeting in Akron. O.. has this problem to contend with. The association is composed of the gentlemen who provide us with tires for our numerous gasoline buggies, and they have become alarmed at the soaring price of the crude article which they turn into balloon tire and other kinds of tires for us. Unfortunately. the entire rubber industry is controlled by foreigners - the plant is grown in tropical countries and Britishers own about half of the plantations; the other half are owned by the Dutch. In the words of the aver age untutored observer, we are up against it."
 The only way out of the difficulty. it appears, is to induce the Nether- lands government to make 9 deal with American tire makers to sup. ply us with its entire output. This would be using the Netherlands rubber producers as foil against the British producers, and if they consent we may not be compelled to spend so much for tires in the future; but if the Dutch hold tight with the British rubber interests, there is nothing to do, it appears, but grin and bear it."
 Somebody suggested that rubber plantations be started in the Philip pines. The motion IS seconded and carried unanimously.

SELF PROTECTION

By sylvan Kessler For many years, when was poor, I longed to play some instrument: My soul for music felt a lure, But always l was broke or bent, But now I've reached the middle
 span,
 A goodly bank account l own, And so this last week I began To learn to play the saXophone. Each night, within my rented room, I practice till the midnight hour; The neighbors to me now assume An attitude that's mighty sour; But in my business life I've learned How to attain the Golden Fleece, And so outdoors l cant be turned, Unless they want to buy my lease!

Washington, June 12.--With the arctic in a fair way 10 be conquered soon, and criss-crossed in every di- rection by air routes. the National Geographic Society is beginning 10 show increasing interest in the trop- ics. especially tropical America, as part of the world which can be turn ed to better practical account than the polar regions.
 The latter may become convenient for aviators to short cut across. but never are likely 10 support many people as permanent inhabitants.
 In South America. on the other hand, is an area about the size of the United States, unexplored and unset- tied by civilized men, except along the coast and main water courses. certainly enormously productive and presumably unpopulated but for few small 1pdian tribes.
 Even these can be killed of to make room for civilization. Again excepting the coast and the big riv- CTS, which are known already, this virgin field stretches approximately from the Caribbean to the Tropic of Capricorn, from at Atlantic 10 the Andes, something lika 200O by 5000 miles. An empire!
 Now's a good time to start on giv- ming it the "once over", the National Geographic folk think.
 But 1t won't be as easy as the regions of the poles. They're pene- trated by bold dashes. This Is a vast jungle of six million square miles.
 A process of slow nibbling is the only way of vanquishing it. Any att tempt to take it by storm means death-not half the time, as at the earth's hubs, but almost inevitably.

PRISON LABOR

The inmates Of our prisons should
not be permitted to be idle. This is
generally accepted as true. We be-
lieve that all prisoners capable of
undergoing the effort should be SUBJ
jected to physical exercises like
those employed in the setting up
drills by which the raw recruits in
time Of war are whipped into shape.
Then they should be compelled to
labor at some task best fitted to
their capacity And needs for the
future. but not under conditions-if
this be avoidable-which would
tend to make work distasteful and
foster a resolve to do no more of it
than compulsion might exact. The
very important fact that most Of
these prisoners are serving COM
paratively short sentences-there is
tendency now to make these
longer-that they soon will be going
out into the world either better or
worse than when they came in. this
fact should never be overlooked.
II there be a way to inculcate a
love Of work, pride in skill. sense
of fair play, desire to earn indie
pendence. into the minds Of these
prisoners the State will by that
much have protected the future as
well as the present. Is this being
done? II not then is very foolish
system being followed, a very ex-
pensive, very dangerous as we'll as
very foolish system.
But what may the prisoner be
employed upon, that shall not enter
into the competition with free labor?
An attempt is now being made to
compile data respecting prison
labor in the several States from
which it is hoped to establish some
method that shall permit one group
to make some part of that which the
prisons consume. Manifestly 1t is
not unfair to free labor to employ
restrained labor, which has by the
State been removed from COMPETE
ton in the outside field, in support
ing itself. The Chamber of Com
merce Of the United States is con-
Quoting an investigation looking to
such purpose.
