Rubber Supply

That a vast expansion in the
domestic manufacture of synthetic
rubber will be necessary before the
United States can become independ-
ent of foreign imports for it's sup
plies of crude rubber, strategic
material of vital Importance both
to industry and national defense,
seems clear in the light of figures
presented by P. w. Barker. in an
article in the Domestic Commerce
Weekly, new publication issued this
week by the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce. In 1899, about
1000 tons of synthetic rubber were
produced in this country. This year
production may reach 10000 tons,
as compared with an annual peace
time consumption of 600 900 tons.
Though there is every reason to
believe that synthetic rubber, before
many years, will be manufactured in
sufficient quantities to meet our es-
sential requirements, it is quite ap-
parent, from the production figures,
that the United States, during the
present emergency, as heretofore,
must largely depend on imports of
crude rubber from the Dutch East
Indies and the British Malaga. The
United States is the worlds largest
consumer of rubber, taking approx
mately one-half the annual output.
Recognizing the need for adequate
reserves, the administration is build
ing up large stock pile of natural
rubber. Actual deliveries, however,
are slow. Under the Anglo-Ameri-
can exchange agreement, negotiated
many months ago, the United States
will exchange cotton Cor $4,000 tons
of rubber, to be held for actual
emergency requirements At the end
Of July, only 10000 tons Of rubber
less than the amount consumed in
the United States in a single month
had been received and stored in
the United States under this agree
ment. Through the creation of
private corporation by the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation, the
United States Government and rub
Der manufacturers, also as an emer-
gency measure, contracted with the
International Rubber Regulation
Committee a few weeks ago for the
purchase Of an additional 10000
tons of rubber.
To secure freedom from our pres
ent dependence on rubber supplies
from the Far East, Mr. Barker sug-
gests six-point program. In addi-
ton to accommodating a large stock
pile of the best grades of plantation
rubber, to be held for use in a ma
tional emergency, this program in
cludes the development of synthetic
rubber manufacture, the increased
production of reclaimed rubber from
rubber scrap, the exploitation Of
Western Hemisphere rubber sources,
the increased production of the
guayule shrub in Mexico, and the
cultivation of guayuIe rubber in this
country.
Because of the importance of rub
Der in national defense, the United
States needs to develop satisfactory
substitutes and increase Western
Hemisphere production, thus lessen
ing its dependence on sources of
supply 10000 miles away. This will
require long-range planning and
the continuing attention of those
charged with the responsibility for
the Nations defense.

Feeling in America

cleveland Plain Dealer
Germany, whose propaganda in the United States
has largely been directed to keeping alive isolation
list sentiment has Cancelled whatever success she
may have attained by her lightning invasion of Den
mark and Norway The reaction to this new, in
excusable act of aggression will be far reaching
this side of the Atlantic
The terms of the United States neutrality act
will be extended to the Scandinavian countries
but laws mold the opinion of Americans.
Their feeling in this matter is foregone conclusion.
Denmark, Norway and Sweden, along with Finland,
have always been held in the highest esteem by
Americans. They were countries which arranged
their own affairs in admirable fashion and took no
part in the power politics of Europe. They were
models of democracy. That they should be destroyed
on the Nazi pretext of protecting" them that Ger
many should extend her barbarous government to the
most orderly and civilized countries in Europe, can
only anger free everywhere.
Isoationism has found its strongest support in
the American middle west. Such states as Wiscon-
SIM Minnesota Iowa. Nebraska and the Dakotas were
long under the impression that the worlds affairs
were not Americas affairs congressman from these
states have been among the strongest spokesman
for the fallacious idea that Europe could be allowed
to go up in flames without affecting the United
States.
But these states are inhabited largely by people
of Danish Norwegian Swedish and Finnish extrac-
ton. The Firms of course, changed their MINDS
about isolation when Russia crossed the Karelian
Isthmus The other Scandinavians undoubtedly will
now be inclined to take less aloof view Of
trans Atlantic matters.
recent Gallup poll showed that "a percent of
the American public wanted the Allies to win Only
one percent was in favor of a Nazi victory Fifteen
percent completely neutral and much of that
number came from the isolationst middle west.
recount today would probably reveal much higher
percentage in favor of Allied triumph Thanks
to his Grass indifference to the independence of
small nations Adolf Hitler has helped swell the tide
of American sentiment against himself.

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compel"
THURSDAY, MAY 2

Mingled good and adverse plane
/ tary influences are active today.
In the morning bankers, employers
and Government officials should
benefit, although later in the day
criticism and misjudgment are IN
dicated. Mars is in threatening as
pect. There is an i'll omen for Am
erican shipping today.
Heart and Home: With the COM
ing of spring time there should
be special effort to assure harmony
and happiness in the home. This is
month for the enjoyment of all
blessings endowed upon the Ameri-
can family. Girls have the forecast
of good luck in new associations,
social or vocational. There is a sign
indicating easy entrance to quar-
rel
Business Affairs: This is not a
lucky day for commerce. Danger to
American shipping is presaged. Gen
eral prosperity will be augmented
by foreign trade. AS good times are
enjoyed there will be temptation to
spend money recklessly. BY re-
membering the warning that 19il
is to bring great financial problems
for the whole world extravaganza
can be cured.
National Issues: Agriculture is to
develop insistent demands for wise
guidance, for good crops are prog
nosticated. Food preservation should
engage special attention, the seers
declare. The United States is to be
the warehouse for world needs, it
is predicted Women will contribute
valuable service in relation to home
industries, including fruit and vege-
table canning.
International Affairs: Central
Europe continues under evil, por-
tents. Foreign conditions viii cause
great fluctuations on the stock mar
ket. The passage of major planets
through Taurus, ruling sign OF Fire,
indicates continued trouble. The
death of an Irish statesman is fore
Swallowed. Canada is subject to for
tunate influences which will bene-
fit women.
Persons whose birthdate it IS

augured.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be clever and ingenious,
sensitive and artistic. They have

THE ELECTION

Returns from yesterday primary election though
still fragmentary show enough to establish several
definite trends One of these is unusual voter
interest in 1910 The vote is believed to be the
largest at any Alaska primary.
Also shaping up out OF the mounting reports
is the fact that the Democratic Party in the face
of dire predictions the part of the opposition,
has made actual and impressive gain over 1888.
There roughly twice many Democratic as
Republican votes cast yesterday in Alaska Republic
cans will be busy from now until September trying
to explain that away They will say that there were
more candidates filed in the Democratic primary.
But there were not twice as many. They will say
the competition was keener among Democratic can
didates This is probably true, for the Democrats
in yesterdays primary running for nomination
on ticket which is going to be elected in Septem-
Der The Republicans were just running for places
on the "other" ticket
If Alaska Republicans ever are going to get out
a large vote, they should have got out yester
day. The party in the midst of the hveiest fac
tional scrap in Is history This produces votes at
primary. whatever It's effect may be general
election
The leaders in the Democratic races are good
candidates. who VIZ make up strong ticket for
September DELEGATE Dm0nd Of course polled the
largest vote OF any candidate in yesterdays pri-
maries. Although running unopposed he gathered
thousands of complimentary votes in tribute to his
able and unsefish labors for Alaska and for the
Democratic party.

Quite apart from her economic and strategic
gains from long series of successes Germany bene
fits by the terror her operations inspire in all near
by neutral peoples. The Jugoslavs and Rumanians
for example, cannot fail to read lesson for
themselves in the record of German aggressions.
Austria and Czechosovakia, Poland and Denmark, all
have been absorbed in lightning strokes that left
the Allies watching stupidity from a distance
The small neutrals this unvarying record OF
German expansion and are strongly tempted to con-
clude that their only safety lies in ready coopera
ton with the Reich. BY selling Germany what she
wants. at the prices she offers, they hope to avoid
bltzkrieg at their expense.
Italy although pro- German in her press and
her formal alliances is certainly not to the
Reich take possession of the Danube Valley Yet
Italy has to recognize the power the German Army,
air force and navy have demonstrated. Rome if
once persuaded the Allies are losing this war, will
not be slow to make terms with Berlin and help to
smash the democracies and their empires
Belgium and Holland unlikely to swing
into the German orbit voluntarily, no matter how
impressive German victories may be. Their existence

their star appears definitely to be waning On the
diplomatic and psychological fronts, the Allies very
definitely need victory of sufficient dimensions tc
stem the drift of neutral opinion.
