FUTURE OF SYNTHETIC RUBBER

There is no way yet Of determining whether
synthetic rubber will be able to compete economical
w. otter the wor with natural rubber from the P'on'
lotions Of the Far Eost and from those which ore be-
ING opened UP in lotn America.
We do not know even whether synthetic rubber
will hove been perfected sufficiently before Hitler
and Hirohito con be whipped, SO thot It could re-
place the natural gum if price we're not involved.
We do know, unless you are in position to dis
prove the computations Of Or. Robert Y. Yohe, ST.
perntendent of the government owned B. F. C'ood-
rich synthetic rubber plant in Louisville, KY, thot
10000 American worknnen make the some
quantity Of rubber out Of butodene and styrene tho
it would require 3OOO 900 sweating coolies to toke out
Of Far Eastern trees.
Let's suppose what does not seem unreasonable
that American chemists kill the bugs that now
prevent successful manufacture Of all synthetic ou-
tomobile tires
Let's assume thot when the war ends it will find
US with synthetic capacity equivalent almost to our
peoce-time demand for rubber. Thot capacity will
have been installed OF cost which might preclude
the synthetic product from competing with the cost
Of raw rubber.
The question will arise and we might os we'll
begin thinking it over now-whether we shall close
whether we shall write off some reasonable portion
Of the cost against this and keep the butodene
styrene and buno plants in operation.
On the one hand there will be school Of eco
nonoo thought to say that industry unable to
stand squorey its feet does not deserve to be
ptopped up.
On the other will be the question: Can we offord
to let this capacity dsinteeoe and throw ourselves
once more into position where in December Of
lo4l we con be cut off by on enemy from

pends very ereotly9

VARYING PERCENTAGES

In the second place, this 25
per cent OF payroll contribution
the Treasury is talking about is
an average figure. II doesn |
mean that every wage Garner is
expected 10 kick in with 25 per
cent OF his pay for war savings,
as was the case with the cam
palgn To get everyone 10 contrib
ute 10 per cent of his pay. Some
people obviously won't be able
TO boost their 10 per cent TO IS
per cent. Others will be expect
ed to do as much as 50 per cent.
A number of cases are actually
on record now in which some
members Of family. all Of
whom are working, are saving
the full 100 per cent of their
wages.
Starting about July Is when
the Treasury War Savings staff
gets under way with It's new
summer drive, the slogan is TO be
Figure 1t Out For Yourself
The idea is simply that every
Wage-carner should get a pencil
and paper, make out a new bud
get for the remainder of 1913,
figuring in new taxes and cost of
living expenses al present pric-
cS, then determine what his
maximum contribution for war
bonds can be.
This Treasury figure Of % per
cent average income savings
hasn't been simply pulled out of
the air. Treasury experts know
that this surplus money is avail
able, in savings accounts or as
hot money burning holes in the
pockets of people who want to
spend II on something any
thlng-anything just to get rid
OF 1t. AS loose spending money,
this excess purchasing power is
an lnflatlonary threat and the
idea is TO blot ii up with war
bonds, not only to check nfla-
ton now but TO help finance the
war effort, hold down the war
debt, and indirectly provide saw
ings for spending money in the
postwar period when the boom
is all over.
