World ia Faced by Rubber Shortage A rubber shortage is inevitable within from three to live years if the present rate cf increase in demand continues, according to Harvey S. nr,4fid5!?t cf the Fircut'jnc Tire and Rubber company. Even were the British restrictions to be removed at once, there now is not enough rubber plantation acre age nor are there enough rubber pro-| ducing facilities to be able to increase, production so as to supply the esti-j mated demand five years hence. In J fact, we have waited to long now?j America cannot start plantations andj he producing rubber in surtieientj quantities in time to avert a rubber Shortage by 1929. Official statistics and chart- show! that in 192i>, at the present rate ol | increase in consumption, the world's! rubber demands will approximate j 575,000 tons, while the productivity' of present rubber producing acreages; can not be increased to more than 500,000 tons by that time. America's activity so far alon; the line of planting to make rub-j ber surveys already has had marked 1 effect, particularly upon the British planters, in holding down the price of rubber. The results have so far accrued from America's plan to grow j her own mbber, have more than re-; paid us several times over the money so far spent in further rubber research work. , A Stain ^4 fat- oaonk.

This move, according to Harvey S. Firestone, is the result of the older rubber association's (the failure to sope with the majpr rubber problems of the times and particular with its lack of action in connection with the British legislation which penalizes the ! tire buyer by virtue of putting up the price of crude rubber, in this way advancing the cost cf tires to the ca* owner.
