Record Level
For Rubber
Consumption Seen
at New High in AS

NEW YORK. Dec. 80 The
United States will consume Sl6.-
900 tons of rubber in l945, more
than in any previous year in his
tory. Herbert E. Smith. president
of the u. S. Rubber CO., estimated
in a year-end statement.
This would represent an in
crease of 216.000 tons over the
average prewar year, about 49,
600 over 1914, and $4,000 over the
previous record in l94l. he pointed
out.
Smith emphasized that war pro-
duction is still the No, ! job OF
the rubber industry, and in what
proportion the 1945 consumption
will be divided between military
and civilian uses depends on the
course of the war.
Use of rubber both in the
United States and world will be
much greater than ever before.
he continued, predicting an aver
age of 10000 tons year will be
consumed in the first five postwar
years, making total world con-
sumption 10000 year.
In an average prewar year
100000 tons were consumed.
"Most of the rubber used
until the war IL over will be
synthetic" Smith said.
Both synthetic and natural
will be used I'm postwar years.
How much of each Is anybody's
guess, but this much II certain.
the rubber supply will always
be able to meet the demand"

on the building of new homes dur
ing the war years creates rela-

Much of the prevailing propa-
ganda takes a partial. instead OF

is essential TO understand that for

ess consists of activities in which
workers employ one another by
interchanging the products Of

ECONOMIC DANGERS

Men have experienced the eco
nomic dangers inherent in greatly
excessive surplus stocks and
plant capacity Accordingly. their
fears tend to push them to the
other extreme, and lead to wish
full thinking concerning a milien-
NAL situation in which there will
be no spare capacity whatsoever.
Such a new objective. even if at
tainable, would be a dangerously
unsafe and uncomfortable one
Lack of spare capacity would lead
to undue use of less efficient and
more obsolete equipment. and
would lower total efficiency and
tend to raise cost. Shortages
would abort the benefcent proc
ess of continuously scrapping the
obsolete and replace il with the
up-to-the-minute technology.

If industry indeed always oper-
ated at 100 per cent of capacity.
the nation would chronically face
the inconvenience of the subway
rush hour in New York
Likewise. the new norm would
be the wartime holiday rush on
trains, buses and planes.
The absence of any surplus
capacity would perpetuate Short
ages and would permanently put
the buyer at a disadvantage in
dealing with the seller.
USED FORESIGHT
In peacetime years, the special
genius of American industry in
hered in foresight
The electric utilities, for eX-
ample, planned five TO 10 years
ahead in providing facilities for
ever increasing demand for cleo
trio service. Thus. they were al
ways prepared to handle peak
loads when they developed
In a dynamic economic society,
full capacity at one state of de-
velopment proves TO be only a
fraction of capacity few years
hence.
Thus. in the half century start
ing in 1880, the output per non
agricultural worker increased by
more than 300 per cent.
In spite of this record, unrealis-
tic ''reformers" commit the fallacy
of assuming that we are living in
static situation. They talk of
capacity as though il were some
thing fixed and inmutable.

100000 Miners
Are Idle in
United Kingdom

LONDON, March IL UF)-More
than 100000 miners are on Stiihc
in the United kingdom as
six more anthracite collieries closed
to make the South Wales coal sIop-
page virtually complete.
Reports from Cardiff said the
miners showed no inclination 10
return to the pits until they learn
what the governments 1lth hour
oncessions-promised for tomor-
row-mean. 1t was estimated that
if they remain idle until Monday,
the coal loss will total $4,000 tons
while the miners give up 81 100000
in wages.
The strike, described as the
United King6 oms most serious coal
dispute in 18 years, broke out III
Wales and spread to England ard
Scotland when the miners learned
that the government had profess
ed its inability to vary an award
which permits unskilled and youth
full workers to make the same $40
weekly minimum as an experienced
man with years of experience.
The government has promised to
review the whole situation and TO
submit proposals to the miners Sat-
urday. The miners will vote on
them over the weekend and work
may be resumed Mono ay.

NO CAUSE FOR PRIDE
Sacramento Bee)

(SacramentO Bee)
A record definitely not to be proud of
is reflected in a report of the state de-
partment of motor vehicles showing that
hit and run drivers figured in 1867 acci-
dents involving death and injury in Cali
fornia last year.
Because Of the lack Of information in
the hands of the police, the apprehension
of hit and run drivers is extremely diff
cult. The best curb against these vicious
and cowardly individuals is an alert pub
lie. Witnesses should endeavor to note
such information about the hit and run
vehicle which would aid the authorities
in tracking down the guilty driver.

FEDERAL AGENCY POLICY
(Santa Ana Register)

No more blatant example of discrimi
nation on the part of a federal govern
ment agency could be found than in the
workings of the War Manpower commits
sion in the Los Angeles and Orange coun-
ties area-and this on the admission of
the area director, Mr.. Thomas Camp
bell.
Mr.. Campbell told the Register that
in the event that a company is discovered
to have violated regulations covering the
issuing of availability certificates for
employees, the individual who does the
actual issuing is not punished but the
entire plant or company bears the onuS.
That is, if the Doe company foreman
issues certificate to an emplOye so that
he may obtain work at another plant, the
company. not the foreman, is held re-
Sponsible and is likely to have the privl-
lege of issuing the certificates taken
away as punishment for the violation.
This policy, however. is not followed III
case the violation is made by repre-
sentative of a union. In the eyes of the
War Manpower commission, there is
something holy and different about a
union. In case union representative
violates the VINO ruling on issuing the
certificates that individual and he alone
is held responsible. The obvious discrim-
ination in such a case is tantamount to
no punishment at all for the violation
since all the business agent has to do to
keep the privilege of issuing certificates
is to have the union do it instead of do
ing it himself.
1t ought to be obvious to all that there
should be only two sources from which
worker can obtain an availability certifi-
cate One is from the employer who is
in the best position to know whether the
employe is valuable to his concern and
to the war effort The other ought to be
some employment agency divorced from
pressure that could act in the event that
an employer refused to permit a worker
to go when the workers full capabilities
are not being used.
There is no reason in the world why
any union should have the privilege of
issuing certificates of availability other
than that it is an effective club for the
union to use in forcing organization on
workers and employers.
This is not to argue that the system
of issuing certificates of availability is
the proper system. 1t is obviously un-
American and a violation of constitu-
tional rights to require that such certifi-
Gates be issued A man ought to be free
to work when and where an employer
will hire him without obtaining govern
ment approval.
But to add to this general discrimina-
tion against all workers the discrimina-
ton of the VINO in Furnishing violators
of rules is deliberate and vicious rous-
ing of class hatred. 1t ought to be stop
ped at once.

COLORADO RIVER TREATY
IS VITAL TO NATION

The treaty before the United States
senate which would give Mexico 1,500,-
600 additional feet of water from the
Colorado river is more than five or six
state or an Imperial Valley issue. Ii is
a national issue. True, it strikes at the
very life of the entire area depending
upon that water for life; it makes free
gift of not only water, but of the facil-
tiles that cost taxpayers of America MIL
lions of dollars; Ca tax with returns
beyond estimating) it hands over with
out cost the most powerful competitive
weapon an alien country can acquire.
But that is only part of the issue
If this treaty is ratified is there any
reason in the world to believe that its
sponsors will not go further in this wild
orgy of give-away? The Colorado is only
one river playing a most vital role in the
prosperity and independence of millions
of citizens. Nor does it require rivers to
provide material for these rampant good
neighbor policy dealers. There are ports
and coastlines and aerial facilities and
no end of things to give away.
And while about it, no one wants to
be a bad neighbor. Opponents of the
treaty never have been accused of beng
bad neighbors But they do believe that
no ROOu H6lSllDol pollNs, iio ii1teSi IN ~
much needed or how much neglected in
the past, calls for any such crushing
blow at American industry and Ameri-
cas- better way of life, or at the expense
of a section of the people who placed
their entire fortunes and their futures
on the gamble with nature-and won.
Reports from Washington are to the
effect that the senate foreign relations
committee plans opening of hearings
early next month.
At that hearing Senator Downey is
called upon to demonstrate his influence.
He has been there six years. He is of the
administration whose secretary of state
has prepared and presented this treaty.
He is of the party of the president who
sent the treaty to the senate. He knows
the entire situation. He should have his
forces marshaled now.
We submit, Mr.. Downey, it is up to
YOU. You shall have all the help and CO.
operation an indignant and fighting peo-
pie at home can give yor, but the job is
yours.
