BY TIE Associated Press.
ATLANTA, June 17.-Canada with
13-ship navy at the start of the
war has 21O vessels today and ex-
poets nearly to double that number
by next year, Robert j. Prittie Of
Winnipeg, Canada, vice president Of
Kiwanis International, declared to-
day.
"Canada's Navy, while Of course
small, Is rendering an admirable
service. particularly in convoy work, "
Mr.. Prittie declared in an address
during an international hour session
of the organizations 25th annual
convention.
"At the outbreak of war we had
13 ships; today we have 210 vessels
with $4,000 officers and men; next

Rubber Manufacturers Association.
Mr.. Henderson said his organiza-
ton is vitally interested in the rub
ber situation, but that no definite
measures have been determined on
Some possible steps for slashing
civilian use are discussed informally
as follows:
Motorless Sundays. This expe-
dent, 1t is calculated, would save
1000 tons of rubber each Sunday,
or 104 900 tons a year.
Used rubber collections. Mayor
LaGuardia's Office of Civilian De-
fense would be asked to gather in
all ancient tires lying about garages,
so as to enlarge stock piles of re-
claimed rubber.
Purchase Limit Proposed.
Limit on purchases. Buyers of
new tires would be required to turn
in their old ones, and prove in
addition they had been retreaded.
Artificial rubber. AS soon AS sup
plies of neophrene and buna become
available, civilian purchasers would
be compelled to accept tires of syn
thetic rubber. Since these cost
three times as much as tires of
natural rubber, the demand would
fall decidedly, 1t is argued. The
hitch is that artificial rubber may
not reach quantity output within
two to five years.
Perhaps the difficulties regarding
rubber may be eased indirectly by a
recent o. P. M. summons upon 13
steel companies to curtail sheet
steel production, vital to the motor
car industry, and utilize their plants
for turning out plates urgently
needed for shipbuilding and railway
car manufacture. But automobile
makers already have been expert
menting with plastics and other sub
stitutes for steel bodies.

A bitter conflict over rubber Is
heading up between two subsidiaries
of the Once for Emergency Manage
ment. These are the Office of Pro-
duction Management, directed by
William s. Knudsen, and the Office
of Price Administration and Civilian
Supply, headed by Leon Henderson.
The War Departments demand on
o. P. NJ for reduction of so per
cent in automobile output, instead
of the 20 per cent already ordered,
reflects a desperate rubber situa-
tion even more than a problem Of
steel.
1t is complained that the o. P. M.
has permitted the tire industry to
go on a wild "sales Spree" while
little effort has been made to ac-
cumulate stocks against two con-
tingencies-a blockade of rubber
from the Netherlands East Indies
by Japan, and the new load on
consumption sure to result this fall
when production of tanks, airplanes
and military trucks will go into
high.
According to o. P. A. c. S. spe-
cialists, reserve stocks of crude
rubber increased only 30,896 tons
during the first four months of
this year. from 288 1854 December 81,
1910, to 328,760 May /. This is de-
ciared to be supply for less than
five months. In the meantime, con-
sumption, rs per cent of 1t for
civilian needs, rose from 81 TOO tons
in February to $4,000 in March and
71,300 in April, while imports fell
from 86,833 tons in January to- g.
305 in April.
Civilian Ration Feared.
Owing to meager stockpiles, these
experts hold, the Government, in
case of a Japanese blockade, would
be compelled at once to ration
civilian use of rubber with severity,
or else go to war eventually to keep
ocean routes open. Supplies from
Brazil and the domestic artificial
rubber industry would be totally in
adequate. During March and April
the United States imported only
834 tons of crude rubber from
Brazil, while consumption of syn
thetic rubber in this country for the
entire year 1910 is estimated by the
Department of Commerce at ap-
proximately 2,375 tons.
Despite such conditions, the o. p.
M. has refrained from imposing
any controls whatsoever on crude
rubber, though it has placed a man.
datory priority on all forms of its
competitor, artificial rubber. This
agency has stood idly by, it is
charged, while the tire industry
waged a high-pressure sales cam
paign for civilian consumption and
at the same time raided the re-
sources of other industries for cargo
space.
In Sumatra not long ago, the
story is told, rubber companies

from this trick resulted in brighter
eyes, with no red or blood-shet

Moreover. because her eyes were
encouraged to rest, the fatigue lines
and circles around them gradually
disappeared completely.
