Prof. Waterman
:Is New Head of
VU War Course
Contract Settlement
Is Main Subject Taught
Prof. M. H. Waterman, Secretary
of the School of Business Adminis-
tration, has succeeded Prof. Robert
L. Dixon in directorship of the Uni-
versity's War Contract Termination
course in Detroit, which is being
taught at the request of the Army
and Navy, it was learned yesterday.
The War and Navy Departments
issued on Nov. 1 the Joint Termina-
tion Regulation, according to which
the course is being taught. "In
importance to the economic welfare
of the nation, the settlement of ter-
minated war contracts is second only
to war procurement. To avoid serious
injury to our economy, three things
are essential: 1. Termination claims
must be settled fairly and quickly;
2. Termination inventory must be
promptly cleared from war plants;
3. Adequate interim financing must
be provided for war contractors pend-
ing settlement," the report states.
Employees of war contractors who
hold responsible positions in connec-
tion with termination work, public
accountants, and lawyers, especially
applicants recommended by govern-
ment contracting agencies, are
taught in this two-hour, three day
course how best to settle terminated
war contracts. Settling Fixed Price
and Cost Plus Fixed Fee contracts,
preparing claims, interim financing
and removing surplus properties are
the subjects stressed.
Prof, Waterman and Prof. E. H.
Gault of the SchoolofdBusiness Ad-
ministration, Prof. J. W. Ruswinckel,
of Michigan State College and mem-
bers of various branches of the
armed services compose the faculty.

SYNTHETIC VS. NATURAL:
Conflict Seen Between British-
Dutch and U.S. Rubber Interests
DAILY OFFICIAL
BULLETIN
't
By SIGRID ARNE
Associated Press Correspondent
WASHINGTON, NOV. 11 - Just
us garden-variety American tax-
payers put out $700,000,000 the past
three years to set up a synthetic rub-]
ber industry.
What's to become of the $700,000,-
000 investment once Japan is brush-
ed out of our old rubber sources in
Malaya and the Dutch East Indies?
Will we pay njore or less for tires,
hot water bottles, girdles, garters,
washers, insulation-which add up
into the millions each year for the
nation?
Just Rubber
Will we ever depend on the Indies
again, no matter what, it costs us,
as a sort of insurance, to keep the
home synthetic rubber industry go-
ing?
These questions are just about
rubber. But behind them lies the
much bigger answer to whether we
step towards that brave new world
of economic health sketched in the
Atlantic Charter and all the United
Nations conferences.
Why? Because against our $700,-
000,000 investment in synthetic, the
English and the Dutch have over a
billion - and - a - half investment in
natural rubber in the Far East.
That's both on plantations and in
native holdings. (Natives are the
little fellows, like our little dairy
farmers.) Close to 2,000,000 persons
get their living from Far East rubber,1
to say nothing of those at home who4
get income from rubber stock.
More Rubber Than Before War
Come the war's end, the world will
have more rubber than it used before
the war.
Our synthetic rubber is now pro-
duced at the rate of 836,000 tons a
year. The Indies '39 production was
971,000 tons.
In 1939 the whole world used 1,-
001,000 tons, but if you add up what
everyone (including Latin America,
Africa etc.) can produce, you've got
a total of 2,750,000 tons, against a
calculated post-war demand of 1,-
600,000 tons-about 70 per cent less
than the rubber available. These
figures come from Stanford Univer-
sity's rubber expert, K. E. Knorr, who
is getting much attention here.
We, who produce synthetic, and
U. K. and the Netherlands, who sell
natural rubber, could fight it out like
bull-headed farmers with too many
tomatoes. One of us would have
tomatoes left to throw away.
Knew Too Little for Agreement
But this is the eventuality which
United Nations leaders hope to avoid
in several fields: aviation, shipping
and rubber.
This has been done so far about
rubber: U. K., the U.S. and the Neth-
erlands sent experts to London last
August. They found none of them
know enough to write an agreement.
So they went home to study, to meet
again informally when the delegates
know more.
This much was obvious at London
(you can't get anyone to quote, be-
cause they're all afraid of people who
have investments in either kind of
rubber):
U. K. 'and the Netherlands are
frightened of our synthetic rubber
industry. Our industrialscientists
have proved wizards before, and
have proved wizards before, and they
may bring synthetic prices down be-
low natural rubber, and make the
product just as elastic-say, in ten
io 20 years.
