RUBBER PRICES
FORCED BY
BRITAIN
Harvey S. Firestone, Tire
Manufacturer, Puts Tax on
U. S. at $4oo, 100000

The Stevenson restriction act
proposed to reduce the production
of crude rubber to so per cent OF
normal production, may cost Amer
| ican motor car owners possibly
s4OO, ,OO0, 600 in 1925, according tc
Harvey S. Firestone, prominent tire
manufacturer, today.
Firestone is in Washington at
tending the meeting of the United
States Chamber of Commerce and
TO look after personal business
matters.
Just two years ago this month
] delivered an address at the annual
meeting of the Chamber of Com
nIerce of the United States in New
York city" said Firestone. You
will perhaps recall what I said then.
My subject was The World Rubber
Crisis I then said that America
would face a rubber crisis.
st called attention to the fact
that British interests had a firm
grip on the worlds production OF
plantation rubber, as British col
onies then were supplying approx
lmaISiy % pei cent VI lhC WI "a
output.
II further stated that the British
restriction act, which limited pro-
duction and expectation of crude
rubber, would make American car
prices.
Cut To so Per Cent.
sThe Stevenson restriction act
proposed to reduce the production
of crude rubber to so per cent OF
normal production. Last August
it was cut to 55 per cent, and last
November to so per cent.
1.-THE restriction scheme / told
the chamber, was designed for the
purpose of limiting production,
creating a scarcity and enhancing
the price Of the raw product for
the benefit of a small group of
plantation shareholders in London.
A crisis would result.
And l. told the chamber that a
very interesting slant from the
British standpoint was the attitude
assumed by Winston Churchill,
who was colonial secretary when
the Stevenson restriction legislation
was enacted. In referring to the
leglSlaIlOn ne nldQe TINS SlSHIIICdHI
comment: One of the principal
means Of paying the debt TO
America is in the provision Of rub
ber'
'.The. restriction act, it will pe
remembered. went into effect No
vember 1, 1922. In May, 1928. at

in New York, the price Of rubber

increase Of $50 per cent.
Smuggling Cut Price.
Rubber dropped to as low as
IL cents, however, in 1924. but this
was due to quite general violations
of the law by native rubber grow
ers, who were smuggling rubber
from the restricted territory.
Naturally the price receded, but

the reins were .tightened, many ar.
rests were made, and drastic pen
alties imposed, with the result that
rubber prices again advanced.
Winston Churchill, who had been
chancellor of the exchequer in
August, 1924, and it was natural
that even more rigid enforcement of
the rstriction laws was put into
operation. Prices steadily advanced.
See where rubber is today, about
60 cents a pound-just 800 per, cent
higher than the price quoted a few
weeks preceding the enactment Of
the legislation limiting production
and exportation.
Somebody must foot this bill.
Last month | made a public state
ment that rubber restriction might
cost American car owners $500 200 :
900 in 1925. 1t may be $400 900, 900,
perhaps more A burden of pos
sibly half a billion dollars thrust
upon American car owners in one
year is an item worth considering.
Time to Act
THAT was one of the thoughts l
had in mind when 1 told the Cham.
ber of Commerce of the United
States two years ago this month
that America faced a rubber crisis.
That is why / have been advocating
the idea that Americans should
produce their own rubber
isn't it time to act right now?
Wasn't the time to act many
months ago?"

has been. made to organize the

that time the council has grown

Arrangement With Dart
mouth Prevents Quaker
Meeting Next Year

Yale did not drop, Pennsylvania
from the 1926 schedule. Actually,
the facts are these: Dartmouth,
which, had been invited to play the
annual mid-O october game at New
Haven, informed the Ellis that a
faculty ruling against out.of-town
trips would make 1t impossible for
the Green to meet Yale this year,
at the same time stating that the
1895 visit would be sanctioned by
Hanover. Whereupon Yale invited
Penn to fill the open date this fall,
expressly stipu1ating that the ar
rangement was for one year only.
In fairness to Dartmouth, Yale
could not break her agreement with
the Hanoverians providing for a
game in 1926. To play both Penn
and Dartmouth would be too much
of a strain on the Ellis. Yale will
probably play Penn in 1927.
Blue partisans believe the drop
story was inspired by Penn synpa,
thizers to make the Quakers fight
ing mad. Princeton pulled the same
stunt on Harvard.

ORMOND BEACH, Fla. Oct. 20.
The leading lights in the realm

ing the winter season. Golf will be
featured and series of tourna.
mefltsy have already been arranged
for the period between January :
and April, l..
The South Atlantic championship
for women golfers win be held here
for the first time, next March Up
to now the only title tournament
in this vicinity was the Ormond
Beach championships for women,
which was. won last spring by Mrs.
II. D. Sterrett, the Kansas State
titleholder. The coming meet is ex-
pected to draw the elite among the
women golfers and for this reason
it has been expanded into a .1ivi
siona1 championship tournament.
Miss Glenna Collett appeared at
Ormond last season, but she did
not arrive in time for the cham
pionship. She played an exhibition
match with Mrs. Sterrett against
Joe Kirkwood, the professional star,
and Howard Perkins. the Southern
amateur star, and the women
emerged victorious.
Miss Collett, who, regained the
national championship the early
part of this month. has tentatively
agreed to compete in the. tourna-
ment here If she can SO arrange her
time during the winter.
It is expected Mrs. Sterrett will
return to defend her title. Other
stars who are likely to take part
in this tournament are, Miss Vir-

wizard of Chicago: Miss Helen Pay
