5000 tons OF crude rubber in the
current year to help meet the acute

He said he discussed what part
Haiti can play in the rubber crisis
during a conference with President
Roosevelt.
Although the company is only
eight months old, it has 2500000
rubber trees under cultivation. Mr.
Fennell said Ultimately. it hopes
to have 10000 acres in rubber
Asked whether it would not be
several years before Haitian rubber
could be sent to the United States.
Mr. Fennell said that If the need
arose year-old trees could be cut
of and ground up to meet acute
rubber needs.
