TIRE MAKER GIVES FACTS CONCERNING RUBBER SITUATION (By Harvey S. Firestone.) On August 1 the British govern- ment will unquestionably adopt a new and more drastic restriction of the production and exportation of rubber, and I feel I should bring to the attention of the American car owner the full import of what this means. The minimum price of rubber un- der the new restriction is to be set ut 42 cents per pound. The Steven- son restriction act as originally adopted November 1, 1922, fixed the minimum price at 26 cents per pound. One of the arguments for the adop- tion of this act by the promoters of the scheme was to stabilize the price of rubber between 26 and 30 cents Per pound, but instead of fulfilling this function, it not only increased the price beyond all reasonable lim- its but also through resulting wide fluctuations made a very unstable, speculative and hazardous condition for the rubber manufacturers. Rubber was selling around 14 cents per pound when the Stevenson restriction act hecame effective. The act allowed 60 per cent of normal oeecn to be exported and called for quarterly revisions according to the price of rubber. That is, if the price of rubber fell below an average of 25 cents per pound for any quarter ‘an additional 5 per cent restriction would be placed, and if the price of rubber for any quarter averaged above 30 cents an additional & per cent would be released. In this way, claimed, the price of rubber be stabilized between 25 and 30 cents per pound. Prices Immediately upon the adoption of the restriction act the price of rub- ‘ber advanced. The first quarter's erage was above 25 cents per pound and sold as high 38 cents per pound with practically the same available rubber stock in the world @s existed in the previous quarter when the rubber was 14 cents pound. A ey iggiforae haa quarter o: that the average of rubber fell below 25 cents, at which time an additional 5 per cent was restricted. Next quarter tubber was still below 25 cents and g@ further 5 per cent was restricted, thus allowing only 50 per cent of normal production to be shipped from the British colonies. These additional restrictions ad- vanced the price; in the last quarter ‘of 1924 the price of rubber averaged mbove 20 cents per pound and 5 per cent was released. The price con- tinued above 30 cents—in fact sold as high as $1.23 per pound in 1925 and arcording to the provision of the ‘act, 100 per cent of standard produc- aver it Bismarck.
