F|RESTONE ACQUIRES
VAST RUBBER TRACT

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-P)-1n
order to make the United States in
dependent of foreign rubber producers,
Harvey S. Firestonc, president of the
Firestone and Rubber company, is
preparing to spend S10O,0000,000 in
remodeling a whole country.
The newly organized Firestone
Plantations company, Mr.. Fircstone
announces. has obtained concessions
for 100000 acres of rubber planta-
tions in Liberia, West Africa. Plans
call for the building of harbors, roads,
towns, hospitals and possibly the or
ganization of steamship lines.
A 2000-acre British rubber planta-
ton has already been purchased to
serve mainly as nursery for the
larger plantations TO be located on
the most suitable land. A harbor
will be built at Monrovia, capital OF
the negro republic.
Liberia now has no shipping facili-
ties. and ships now load and unload
with the help Of surf boats, but since
five or six years will be required 10
bring the new plantations to maturity
this method will take care of produc-
tion until a great breakwater can
be constructed.
Employment Of $4,000 men is con-
tomplatcd when the organization has
reached its full stride. The prevail
ence of malaria in Liberia, is a draw
back, but Mr.. Firestone thinks that
il can easily be stamped out. Other.
wise it has better climate and il
more attractive than Florida, he de.
clared.
