P d - RUBBER ANALYSIS War's spread has greatly deepened concern over our rubbed supply problem, with 96 per cent of our natural rubber having to come through Far East troublezone. The problem may be eased by boosting production of synthetic rubbers here, but that takes precious time. In the most succinct sum-u- p to date, John L, Collyer, president of the B. F. Goodrich company, told the famed Sales Executives club In New York that 18 months would be required to build and start operating one 35,000-to- n synthetic plant and that this "time lag" must be weighed before assuming that synthetic type offers an immediate safeguard against possible shortage of natural rubber. He analyzed the nation's rubber position as "four months' supply here, three months' afloat, three months' supply of finished goods on hand grand total of 10 months' supply," which could be stretched a couple months by greater use of reclaimed rubbef. He said his company's view was that free competition should be the prime factor in the government's plans to create essential "standby" facilities for synthetic production.
