RUBBER SHORTAGE
Tire Manufacturer Expects Seri-
Gus Problem Three Years Hence

New York, Aug. I R>-Consump
ton of raw rubber is increasing 81
much more rapidly than production
that the world will face shortage
OF crude rubber in three years. ir
the opinion of William O'Neil. pres
ident of the General Tire & Rubber
company, Of Akron, o., who sailed
early today on the Aquitania tc
study the rubber situation in Eng
land.
Because of the natural increase In
the demand. manufacturers are
agreed on this point. differing only
as to when shortage will be felt,
he said. This year his witnessed a
gain in the industry of approximate
ly Is per cent over 1926, he said
pointing out that the trade as a
whole is using crude rubber
Measures taken to increase the
yield include new planting and the
discovery of the bud-grafting sys-
TEN, but they will have no effect on
the situation for eight years, Mr..
O'Neil said.
Frank r. Henderson, president
Of the Rubber Exchange, was mis-
understood when he recently refer
red to the bud-grafting system,
through which it is entirely liktly
that production can be doubled, or
even more than doubled" he said.
Some took his remarks to mean
that cheaper rubber could be ex-
pected within a very short time, but
they failed to take into considera-
ton the fact that it requires eight
years for rubber plants to reach the
productive stage"
He said that from 1920 to 1924
there was no enough new planting
done to take care of the increased
demand. British restriction of rub
Der expectation, however, has result
ed in more planting. he said. but this
has been done so recently that it can
have no bearing on the situation for
about eight years.
Mr.. O'Neil said that rubber manu-
facturers do not expect Thomas A..
Edisoh's experiments to have an ap-
probable effect on the situation.
Il don't say that he can't get a
plant that will produce rubber" he
explained, but when Edison attacks
farm product where labor is paid
only 20 cents a day, he isn't follow
ing the lines laid down by most
manufacturers. They go after the
high cost lines"
He pointed out that labor costs In
the rubber producing centers aver
age about six cents a pond. based
on a daily wage OF 20 cents. In
America, he said, where farm labor
receives approximately IS a day,
discovery of a plant that would grow
here and WELD even three times as
much rubber as the best producers
in the straits settlements would
make production costs prohibitive.
Edison is going entirely out Of
his field" he said. His is a me-
chanical line. But II he wants to
experiment, he'd better start on
wheat or corn, where there is a
much larger field for reducing
costs"
The British restriction scheme has
resulted in the Dutch rapidly TAX
ing an. important place as rubber
producers, he said. When the orig
inal British scheme was put into eff
feet in 1923, he pointed out. the
Dutch produced only 10000 tons,
whereas last year their production
amounted to 100000 tons. This year
he believes they will produce 220,-
900 tons, or about half of the worlds
supply.

It condemned compulsory military

I'VE protest the giving of high
school or any other academic credit
for attendance at citizens military
training camps" the committee report
declared. I'VE urge congressional ac-
ton to release all instructors in op.

the direct control of the War Depart.

academic authorities, thus effectually
freeing our educational system from
the control or interference of the War
Department"
A counter resolution Nothing with
regret and alarm an increasing intol
erance toward peace organizations and
proposals and an evident drift toward
another war" was introduced by an
opposition group within the ranks of
the National Council.
This resolution proposed that "the
National Council call upon its entire
constituency to recognize the danger

disintegration of democratic institu.

press and to free speech in general,
and in the pulpit in particular and TO
