Professor Bar- nouw, who has just returned from the Far East, says that the Philippines, offer no solution to the problem, be- , cause the natives there would not be willing to work in the plantations, and it would be necessary to import labor. The same opinion 'was expressed by. Prof. Carl D. La Rue, of the botany de-' partment, who for three years was in Sumatra as an investigator for the United States Rubber- company, and was head of a United States govern- ment expedition to study the growing! of rubber in the Amazon valley in 1923. He outlined four disadvantages of the Philippines, saying, that in addi- tion to the labor difficulty, only part of the islands have the proper clim- ate. The land laws, limiting holdings by one individual or com- pany to 1200 acres, would hinder the development of plantations, and the questionable political status of the is- lands makes capitalists wary of in- vestment, there, he believes. "American captial," Professor LaI Rue continued, "has not been inter-I ested in rubber for some years. This is partly due to a campaign of in vestment in Mexican rubber ventures, most of which proved false, and the remainder of which failed because they used the wrong tree. That gave the United States a bad taste about rubber. This is shown by the fact that the United States Rubber com- pany, when it started investing inI Sumatra, did not sell stock especially for the rubber venture, but used its own finances, making the plantations branches of the main company." Professor La Rue opposes Secre- tary Hoover's opinion that Great Brit- ain is deliberately trying to enrich it- self at the expense of the United States by controlling the price of rub- ber, and explained that England's po- sition is economically a logical one. The Stevenson act, limiting the pro- duction of rubber and thus raising the price, was passed only to save the es- tates from being abandoned, for the rising quite a sumers as the alarmists state. fair price and the British are not favored.

British possessions, Professor La Rue stated, produce about 70 per cent of the world's supply, and in 1923, the United States consumed more than 701 per cent of it.I Methods of raising rubber such that machines could be used to cultivate the plants and treat the product, have been suggested, he continued but until ' is considerable British capital in the Dutch East Indies. The British, lie,. said, foresaw the demand, and started planting rubber before its was pro- fitable, with the result that they are now by far the largest producers. The centers of rubber growing, in the Dutch possessions are 'Java, w.hich_ has 35 million inhabitants in an area:"; equal to that of Michigan, and Sum-n atra; a long narrow island mearly': touching the Malay peninsula.
