U. S. SEEN CONTROLLING
FUTURE RUBBER MARKET
Harvey S. Firestone, Jr., Asserts
African Plantations Can Over
supply American Demands.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, December 29.-~American
rubber manufacturers not only can
dominate the domestic market, but
can control the world supply IL they
will take up the culture OF virgin
rubber, in the opinion Of Harvey S.
Firestone, jr.. who has just returned
from Liberia.
His three-month inspection of the
Firestone Co.'S newly acquired 1000
000-acre plantation there, the son OF
the rubber magnate said, showed
that the output of that tract alone
could free the American market Of
foreign domination within from Z to
10 years.
At least years must elapse be
fore the trees on the plantation begin
to yield, and the output will not cut
an important figure in the world
market until from to years later.
When i'm full operation, however, he
estimated, the tract will produce
200 900 tons Of crude rubber, as
against the average American annual
consumption today Of $4,000 tons.
