C-12° DUTCH IDEA-WOULD RESTRICT RUBBER Producers Who Refused to Join British Move Seek Cut of 25 Per Cent. By the Assoclated Press. AMSTERDAM, Holland, April 30.— Dutch rubber producers, who refused to co-operate with British producers in the Stevenson restriction scheme, have formed an association of their own which seeks a 25 per cent curtailment of_production and higher prices. ‘These growers produce but 34,000 tons annually. The world production in 1930 was 812,000 tons, and of this the United States imported more than hal{—458,- 500 tons. Enormous war demands for rubber brought corresponding increases in acreage. When war needs ceased, rub- ber production far overreached con- sumption, and the price tumbled ac- cordingly. Then the British producers in the Malay States worked out the Stevenson plan, which restricted im- to & point that rocketed prices. ently prices have been way down. ‘The Stevenson plan brought consid- erable resentment in the United States and smarting comment from Herbert Hoover, then Secretary of Commerce. But it worked, temporarily. Initiated in 1921, it was abandoned in 1928, n it had practically ceased to be effective. Dutch producers would not participate. Restriction Is practicable with large estates under single control, but there is no way to stop a native from plant- ing as many rubber trees as he can. ‘What happened was that the natives simply planted enough more trees to bring them the same .income as before. The result has been that native pro- duction, once only a small fraction of the total output, reached 100,000 tons 4n 1930 and is expected to total 250,000 tons by 1832. Purthermore, it has been the policy of the Dutch government to encourage native plantings, since it was a form of work to which natives proved adapt- able. To discourage it now might cause unrest. ‘The Malay States are the world's chief rubber source. In 1930 they produced 434,000 tons, while the Dutch East In- dies produced 245,000 tons. Many Dutch producers are opposing the restriction plan. Restrictive meas- ures may lead to a temporary increase in the price, they argue, but wlil only mean an adjournment of difficulties and & permanent improvement of the mar- Amateur Movies for Public. ‘Moving pictures made by members of the Amateur Cinematographers’ Asso- ciation of London were shown recently at an entertainment which was open to .

ROME (N.AN.A).—The other day a peasant from a village in Piedmont learned quite by accident that three years ago he had won 3,000,600 lire in a state lottery. It has been caicu- lated that prizes to the yalue of 14,- 000,000 lire are waiting to be claimed by winrers of these iotteries, so the Piedmont peasant is no isola‘ed wonder.

They either forget or lose the tickets | they have been temvted to buy an frequently omit to look in the news- | pers for the results unless something ike the visit of a friend from town reminds them to do so.

Here are the facts: Most nationally known ginger ales come in smaller-than-pint bottles labeled as containing 12 ounces. These bottles are, of course, not pints at all. Clicquot Club Pale Dry and Clicquot Club Golden are always sold in full-measure, real pint bottles containing 16 ounces. You get full value in these fine old American "ginger ales. EXTRA value and EXTRA quality and flavor, too. That is why Clicquot Club is, today, America’s lowest priced nationally advertised ginger ale.
