 Commerce President

New York. Aug.I 20 R)-The Phil ippne Islands can produce all the rubber needed in the United States, John w. Haussermann, vice -presi- dent of the American Chamber of Commerce of the Philippine Islands, said today. Drawing upon the islands for this country's rubber supply, he asserted. would result in a large sav- ing to the public through lower costs.
 Mir. Haussermann characterized as "eXtreInely conservative" the report issued last week by the United States department of commerce, estimating that 1,500.000 acres were available for the growth of rubber in the Philippines, on the scale of 10000 tons of production annually. This report" said MT. Hausser- mann, "is based, because of the lim- ited labor supply on production as ! worked over only 5O0,00O acres, or one-third of the acres available. On | this basis, however. the surveyed lands of proved rubber production alone can eventually produce 2lQ,. GOO tons annually, or more thaI two-thirds of America's present i'm ports in crude rubber.
 "The American Chamber of Com merCe In the Philippines is now con vinced that the Islands can grow al the rubber needed by the Unite States.
