Synthetic rubber and the natural

This forecast is made by l.. E.
Weber Of Boston in a summary Of

Synthetic rubber Is yet far off and

THE dispa ssionate weighing of the
facts prompts us 70 the conclusion
that the synthesst has Yet to devote

Let us grant. however, that the
day will arrive, as it surely will, when
the synthesist has accomplished what

synthetic rubber equal in quality TO

atively cheap raw material.
''It is only then that the battle will
