FEBRUARY 23, 1923 RUBBERCONTROL [k e ik ke ke sk ke e sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk sk e sk sk sk sk ke e Che Sundy Shar Digs down deep into the heart of things VERY HARD TO GET Conference in Washington Faces Many Problems of Great Complexity. Speclal Dispateh to The Star, NEW YORK, February 23—Dealers fn crude rubber in this market are thoroughly in sympathy with the de- velopment of a source of supply which will make the United States entirely | Independent of forelgn nations, they announced today. They are not, how- ever, inclined to minimize the dif- culty of developing such a supply, and are prepared to point out the obstacles In the road at the coufer- ence In Washington, called by Harvey S. Firestone and others for Febru- ary 27. The only possible way in which the development of a rubber supply con- trolled by United States interests is possible, “dealers asserted, was that | operations should be made to show & [profit. They pointed out that while close and friendly association | known to exist between the Ford and Firestone interests might make pos- sible and advisable their joint ven- || ture into the rubber producing field, fother tirc manufacturers were un- | likely to make such investments un- less it were shown rubber could be produced to yield a profit in_ world markets in competition with English and Dutch planters. Could Flood Market. Traders in close touch with London and Singapore pointed out today that the English and Dutch in the Malay archipelago and the Straits settle- ments and Borneo were in a position at the present time to pour a flood of rubber on the market if threatened with competition. In fact, it has re- quired the most stringent regulation of output for the English rubber producers to place prices at their | present levels and hold them there. | It requires seven vears for rubber trees to come into bearing, and even | under most favorable conditions this jfact would leave the United States' under the thumb of the English pro- | ducers for that length of time. There | | are thousands of acres of trees in the far east now ready to produce rubber which have never been tapped and will not be while the present restric- | tions on output are in force. Cheap Labor Essential, | Labor is the main factor in rubber production. Many workers are re- quired to collect the milk and handle {it. To compete successfully American | producers would have to secure a labor supply comparable to Chinese coolie workers, the cheapest in the ! world. Dealers today regarded it as doubtful if South America or Mexico could furnish such labor, while | Philippine Islands would joverpowering advantage in proximity to_the consumers’ market, If these difficulties can be over- | come, manufacturers and dealers both are prepared to extend their hearty support to the movement. An ex- clamation point has been added to the call for the meeting by the with- drawal of old price lists by the Fire- stone Tire and Rubber Company and | the tssue of new lists showing in- creases in tire prices.
