Synthetic Rubber
Sets High Record
The Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration last week announced an
appropriation of $5,000,000 for con
struction of four synthetic rubber
factories with a yearly capacity of
2.500 Ion* tons each "Hiey are to be
leased to B. F Goodrich. Firestone.
Goodyear and U. S Rubber and will
be designed so that yearly capacity
can be stepped up quickly to 10,000
tons per unit The RFC move high
lights the brilliant record scored in
synthetic rubber's first year in the
automobile field. B F. Goodrich,
which only last June brought out
the first synthetic rubber tires ever
sold to the American public, now re
ports that several thousand of these
tires "afe giving satisfactory serv
ice on the highways" while several
bundled leading cooperations are
putting tiiein on light trucks and
company cars. To dispel any over
confidence, however, it should be
pointed out that the combined ini
tial production of 10,000 tons a year
is only a little more than 1 per cent
t of the 725.000 long tons of crude
rubber which the nation is expected
to use this year. The 10.000 tons
would last less than a week at the
current average use of 67,271 tons
per month. Private- expansion of
synthetic rubber produced for tires
i> hampered by the fact that the
cost of synthetic is considerably
higher than the price of natural rub
ber. currently 24 cents a pound. For
other uses, however, the various
companies have developed an esti
mated "1941 production of between
10.000 and 15.000 tons of oil-resist
ant varieties of synthetics.

THE RECORD
SPEAKS . . .
The number of automobile

terious circumstances.
Late yesterday the identity of
one of the car drivers had not
been determined, and it could
rjot be learned how badly he was

civilian shortage.
The OPM informed Selective Serv
ice Headquarters there will soon be
a shortage in the metal-working
trade and urged deferments to avoid
this. OPM pointed out that when
a skilled worker is inducted, the
plant loses not only the individual
but also the time of a skilled man
needed to train a replacement.
Labdr Disputes
OPM Associate Director Hillman,
speaking in New York, said "there
are no insoluble problems in man
agement-labor relations . only
some prejudices . . that must be
eliminated" to create the "mutual
trust which must animate any sound
labor policy." Cooperation will re
sult. he said, when labor problems
are treated not as a "nuisance" but
"worthy of serious study and con
sideration."
Public Attitude
William Batt, Deputy Defense
Production Director, speaking in
Washington, said OPM. War and
Navy officials are not satisfied with
defense progress.
"I do not want a single man or wo
man to feel we are right on the verge
of becoming the arsenal of democra
cy." Mr. Batt said. "We cannot pro
duce . . . and preserve our standard
of living in terms of electric conven
iences and leisure hours. A radical
change of attitude must take place
if we are to make good our promises
to the defenders of freedom . .
Mr. Batt said business must be
willing to expand without immed
iate regard for individual futures,
labor must forget its differences in
deference to more work, and govern
ment must not allow politics or bur
eaucracy to interfere with defense.
Foreign Affairs
Agriculture Secretary Wickard,
speaking at Hutchinson, Kansas, said
in Latin America many coun
tries are watching to see whether we
will make good our promise or . . .
simply talk and gesture . . Millions
of Britains are watching us who
can't go on unless onr ticip is made
effective The Nazis and Fascists are
watching us and every sign of inde
cision and division fills them with
joy. If we simply talk . . they'll rule
the world."
War Secretary Stimson and Navy
Secretary Knox told their press con
ferences the Neutrality act. which
prohibits American shipping in com
hat zones, should be repealed and
the U. S. should return to the former
policy of freedom of the seas. Ad
dressing the Society of Naval Archi
tects and Marine Engineers, Mr.
Knox said the U. S must be prepar
ed to make sacrifices "that will
match any sacrifices made by any
generation of Americans before us."

State's Educators
Visit Fort Bragg
A group of educators representing
the State's organized educational
forces visited Fort Bragg last week
to inspect the greatly expanded de
fense activities at the post in an ef
fort to determine the manner in
which the State's educational facili
ties can be organized to participate
to a greater extent in the National
Defense Program
Mr. K G Phillips, president of
the North Carolina Education Asso
ciation, conducted the group to Fort
Bragg where they were welcomed by
Brigadier General R. E D. Hoyle.
Subsequently, Brigadier General Ed
win Harding. 9th Division Infantry
commander, took the visitors on a
tour of the post where the educators
saw anti-tank guns, machine guns
and infantry mortars firing on the
range and visited the 9th Division
cantonment area as well as the Field
Artillery Replacement Training Cen
ter. before returning to their homes
seas is a prime objective of the Ax
is and its program for world domi
nation. Should the Axis succeed Mr.
Hull said, all countries will face ec
onomic enslavement and control of
international business by military
and political forces.
Foreign Trade
President Roosevelt, opening For
eign Trade Week, said "the dicta
tor nations already have achieved
serious encirclement of the U S"
He said all Americans should fight
against the economic slavery to
which Germany and her allies would
subject the world.
Raymond Geist, State Department
Chief of Commercial Affairs, speak
ing in New York, said the interna
tional situation poses the question
whether the peril confronting the
nation "lies more in the struggle it
self or in the cancerous post-war ec
onomic processes" of an unfair
peace. He said it would be fatal if
Germany won .because the U. S.
would be compelled to adopt eco
nomic methods "which would slow
ly undermine our prosperity and our
democratic way of life." Secretary
|of State Hull said that after the war
all nations should cooperate in in
ternational trade free from discrim
ination.
Other Activities
< Congress increased the pay of par
achute troop officers by $100 a month
and the pay to enlisted parachutists
by $50 a month, and authorized
training of enlisted men as pilots . .
The Army announced testing of se
cret methods of combatting blitz
warfare . . . The Treasury sold
$257,050,000 of Defense Bonds in the
first 17 days?"better than expect
ed" . . The President reduced his
request for relief funds for 1042 by
$109,000,000 . . The Commerce De
partment reported exports to Japan
running 48 per cent less than last
year.
