Rubber Firms Earn
Best Profits Since
Late 192Os
SoIes Set New Records,
Only Slight Drop
In 1912 Nets Likely
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6-Although
much Is made Of the restrictions on
use of rubber, Scant recognition is
given to the fact that sales volume
is at record levels and earnings for
the current year will be the best
since the late 1920S. it is pointed out
in a survey by the Standard & Poor'S
Corp.
True. restrictions on crude rubber
consumption. unless eased, will cut
physical volume next year, but
mounting sales of non-rubber de-
fense products will neutralize this
factor to considerable degree
Earnings. though not fully main
tanned. will be aided by stable crude
rubber costs and higher selling
prices. Finally, outbreak of hostll-
ities in the afr East. while causing
some disruptions. would certainly
not cut OFF the flow of crude rubber
to this country.
Business Excellent.
Spurred by record car and truck
usage. fear Of shortages, and buying
in anticipation Of higher prices, de-
mand for automobile tires has con-
tinued at high level since midyear
Unit shipments for July through
October were 25 per cent higher than
in the same period Of 1910. Deliv-
cries during these months exceeded
production. with the result that in
ventories have fallen to the lowest
point since 1882.
Crude rubber consumption. the
best index OF overall activity in the
industry, ran II per cent higher than
in 1910, despite restrictions. An in
cresSing percentage Of the rubber
processed has been going into me-
chanical rubber goods. demand for
which has been greatly stimulated
by the high level Of general indus
trial activity stemming from the de-
fenSe program.
While the gain in physical volume
for the second half will be smaller
than in the first half, when there
were no restrictions on rubber con-
sumption, dollar sales are holding up
well because Of higher prices and
shipments from inventories.
Higher Costs Offset.
Raw material costs and operating
expenses have risen, but this factor
has been offset by the rising per-
centage OF relatively wide margin
mechanical goods sales, increased
tire prices and the efficiencies re-
sultirg from large-scale production.
As result, operating income for the
current year will be substantially
above 1910 levels.
Because of relatively high eXemp-
tions, tire manufacturers, as a group,
are less vulnerable to excess profits
taxes than most industries. Thus
q large part of the improvement in
operating profits will flow through
to final net income.
Tire manufacturers are partic-
ipeting Importantly in defense pro-
duction. Large Government orders
covering q long list of rubber and
non-rubber products have been
placed with virtually all manufac-
turers-one, for example, has OBJ
tained contracts valued at more
than $1OO,OOO,0OO.
In addition to direct defense work
the industry is doing a substantial
business as subcontractor, supplying
both regular lines and special arma
ment and munition parts.

Rev. A. B. Cox pronounced
the invocation and gave short
discourse, with Friendship" as
the theme of his address.
Friendship has its seed sown
in organization, and organiza-
tions among men promote the
growth of such friendships, was
a point stressed by Rev. Cox,
and since friendship is a dire
need to all of US, he concluded
his remarks by urging all pres
ent to put forth the required
effort to make Newark the
most friendly city in the coun-
try.
The next speaker, C. G. L.
Yearick, emphasized his re-
marks on pride of Citizenship"
by citing the examples of pa
triotism evidenced during recent
months in fields of music, art,
and even fashion.
Pride in this great country,
Mr.. Yearick pointed out, is only
natural, since the United States
is the only nation left in the entire
world where the privilege of
freedom of assemblage, worship,
speech, and press is practiced
and enjoyed, and he further
stated that since defense of the
United States is of such vital
Importance to us, we should ex-
anime with great caution any
thing other than such defense,
