decade; the increasing use of motor
trucks and busSes, which require more
tires as well as heavier and larger ones
than passenger cars; the rapidly grow
ing popularity of balloon tires, which
consume about one-third more rubber
than high pressure tires; the develop
ment of the electrical industry, an i'm
portant consumer of rubber; the widen
ing use of rubber for other articles;
these explain why demand il crowding
upon production.
The American rubber industry, to-
gether with it's closely related asso-
ciates, the automotive and petroleum
refining industries, has experienced a
most remarkable expansion since pre-
war days. Between 1914 and 1928
total rubber manufactures in the
United States rose in value from $780,
994 900 to s953,643 900. Automobile
tire and tube production account for
most of this development. Rubber
manufacture in many European coun-
tries and elsewhere has made marked
progress in the last few years, espe-
cially in 1924 and 1925. This is one
factor in the strength of the current
crude rubber market. France has one
of the most important rubber indus
tries outside of the United States"

The spectacular rise Of rubber prices
during the past year. Rubber CON
sumption in the United States is near
~ three times that of the rest of the
world, and all of the rubber used is
imported most of it from British and
Dutch possessions in the Far East.
Popular attention. therefore, has cen
tered mainly on the system of control
of exports from British colonies,
which has restricted supplies there
from since the latter part of 1922. OF
perhaps even greater Importance has
been the heavily increased conSump-

seems likely to press on available
