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.

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.
