Report Sees Shortage
|0f Natural Rubber
Possibly Through Al

The United States faces a short
age Of natural rubber this year, and
perhaps through next year, the
Inter-Agency Policy Committee on
Rubber said today in a report to Re-
conversion Director Snyder, which
went to President Truman and
Congress.
The report stressed that the
$70o, ,000. 900 war-built synthetic in
dustry should and will of necessity
continue to operate at a high level"
The committee. headed by William
L. Bait, is composed of representa-
tives of the State, War, Navy, Justice
and Commerce Departments, the
Reconstruction Finance Corp, Of1ce
Of Rubber Reserve, Rubber Develop
ment Corp. and War Assets Corp.
Governmental powers to allocate
rubber to manufacturers and control
specifications for rubber products,
which are included in the Second
War Powers Act, the report said,
should be continued beyond June 80,
when the act expires.
VIII Issue Supplementary Report.
A supplementary report soon to be
issued will embody detailed recon-
mendations for assuring the use Of
synthetic rubber, and outline pro-
posals for disposal of Government
owned plants.
The committee said "there should
be continuously maintained in pro-
duction and use, regardless of cost,
sufficient synthetic rubber capacity
to meet at least one-third of our
requirements, exclusive of require
ments for special-purpose rubbers
This involves a minimum consump-
ton of general-purpose synthetic
rubber in the neighborhood of ESQ.,
600 long tons per year. The plants
maintained in production should
comprise the most efficient and low
cost OF existing facilities. Conse-
quently, the inclusion of plants using
alcohol as raw material is not now
indicated"
At least one alcohol plant, how
ever, should be maintained "in ade-
quate standby condition." it was
added, in order not to put complete
dependence on petroleum as a raw
material.
Private Ownership Is Goal.
After the natural rubber shortage
is ended, and so long as these plants
are owned by the Government, they
should be operated only in an emer-
gency, the report said.
1t added that private ownership
and operation of the synthetic in
dustry is desirable goal.
The committee said synthetic rub
ber is not yet good enough for ex-
'clusive use in such products as air

tunity and to undermine the free
market. The new plants and knowl-
edge gained during the war must
be used.
New industries arising from the
war must be kept competitive
Small business must have chance
to enter the market and get raw
materials"
During the war, Mr.. Clark said
the departments antitrust program
was not as energetic as in peace
because primary concern was with
war frauds and offenses involving
rationing, price ceilings and pri-
critics.

debris from all buildings. Clean,
grease, and replace worn parts of
machinery, look over buildings

necessary repairs.

inspect every building on the
farm and make sure:
thrash, rubbish, waste paper,
old clothing, feed bags, bedding,
and the like are removed and
turned in for salvage. Fires orig

loans may run 40 years at three
per cent interest on unpaid prin-
cipal. To date 80 loans averag-
ing $3.50 have been made to
veterans in this region
The scarcity of farms for sale
on the basis of longtime earning
capacity values accounts for the
relatively small number of farm
ownership loans to veterans and
other applicants the past few
years, Mr.. Sears explained. Des-
pite the desire of applicants to
pay inflated prices for them, adj
illustrators of the program be-
lieve that it is to the. best ad-
vantage of veterans and others
to make loans only in cases,
where, on the basis of longtime
farm prices and values, the pur-
chaser has a reasonable oppor-
tunity to make the farm pay for
itself while providing a living
for the family.
Secretary of Agriculture, Clin-
ton P. Anderson, scbstantiated
the wisdom of this policy when
he recently said that as veterans

pays the expenses?-Mrs. A. U.

A. Legislation is nov before

him in college in Pittsburgh, Pa,

allotment from him as yet. How
will we go about getting it,

A. Allotment for parents is vol

sure he has provided for this al
lotment.
Q. When will our boy be home?
He has been in service 20 months

for loans to buy farms, lenders
must make sure that those farms
will some day pay for themselves.
Veterans must not be encouraged
to mortgage their future by get
ting into impossible debt sit
uations that will force them to
sell their insurance, cash their
bonds, borrow from their fam
lilies and lose everything, includ-
ing their farms. If this occurs
they will become bitter and hate
you, he declared.
When sound rural rehabil-
itation and farm ownership loans
can be made FSA service does
not stop with lending and col
lecting the money, Mr.. Sears
pointed out. Supervisors work
with families in sound farm and
home planning and in executing
the plans. They give on-the-farm
teaching and guidance in achiev-
ing better farming and better
living. Credit is merely one of
the tools with which the agency
works. Rehabilitation of families
so that they can become self
sustaining on the land and event
ually have the opportunity to
own family-size farms is the
basic objective.
