L. S. Rubber Chief
Offers Alternative
Control Proposal
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. April 21.-William De
Kraft, chairman of the Finance Com
mittee of the United States Rubber
Co., today offered an alternative pro-
posal for control of rubber production,
against the plan now under considera-
ton by British and Dutch rubber pro-
duction interests.
His plan would permit plantations
to produce 100 per cent of their
standard production" but not more
than their production in 1888 OF
| this output 20 per cent would be sold
to the International Control Commit
/ tee at 2la pence gold a pound.
! In his statement De Kraft ex-
! pressed the opinion that the plan now
before the committee, which contem-
plates IS per cent reduction in con-
trolabIe production. might lead to a
sharp speculative increase in rubber
prices by rapidly eliminating the ex-
cess supply and thus stimulating a
wide use of reclaimed and synthetic
rubbers.
De Krafft's company is said to be
1.-THE owner of the largest rubber
plantations in the world, from the
standpoint Of planted acreage.

something to drink and has increased
sales because most of these places
become additional outlets for soft
drinks. Soft drinks are classed as
impulse purchases" by students of
public buying habits. In other words
no one decides in the morning to buy
a soft drink in the way one may de-
eide to buy hat or pair of shoes
But at some time in the day there is
an impulse to drink something, and
that impulse becomes a sale for some
retailer if he is nearby and has ade-
quately displayed the fact that he
sells those beverages that are in public
demand.
There are today 100000 soda foun-
tains in the United States and over
100000 outlets for bottled beverages.
Every additional outlet places the
goods conveniently closer to public
buying impulse and increases total
sales.

NEW YORK, April 21.-The stock
market Is being watched closely on
its rallies for indications as to whether
it can definitely penetrate the supply
area where recent rises have run into
offerings Firmness of rails this week
has been viewed optimistically by
chart followers. Both the carriers
and the industrials have held a COM
paratively narrow range since late
February and traders are awaiting the
appearance of larger volume, one way
or the other. as a signpost of the
markets intentions.
While some modification of the 10
per cent tax on Canadian gold COM
panies is expected, statisticians have
been revising earnings estimates of
the various Dominion mining corpo-
rations under the new ruling. If the
new tax stands it will supercede a
handling charge of 81 an ounce that
has been in effect for some years.
Thus on a price for gold in London
of $34 an ounce, Canadian companies
would be receiving $30.50 for the out
put instead of $33. On this basis, 1t
is figured, their gross would be re-
duced IA per cent.
The financial district awaits an
announcement from the Treasury Of
a new conversion offer for the re-
Gently called series of Liberty Fourth
4As. 1t is generally expected that
the new bonds, which may be given
in exchange for those to be retired,
will bear 81 per cent coupons, the
same as the last refunding issue. Sub
scriptions of Sl,040. AL 800 were re-
ceived for the latest exchange offering
Of 31is OF this amount S815,115.50
represented the exchange of the
called Liberties. while S234,325, 800
represented subscriptions for which
Treasury notes maturing May were
rendered.
Rail shares were not affected in
any noticeable degree by President
ROoSevelt's reiterated request that the
10 per cent wage deduction from base
pay rates of rail workers be contin-
ued until next January l. Traders
thought that the suggestion for stand
ing pat on wages was stripped of
some of its sentimental value market
wise by the supplementary proposal
that the roads create additional en-
ployment with the increased margin
of earnings, resulting from better
business and the maintenance OF
present wage schedules.
Suggestions that the rank and file
of rail workers might continue to
press for an adjustment in spite of
the Presidents position also may have
tended to nullify the effect of his
statement as a market factor.
