any islands, because the United States, like many other countries are de- pendent on them for vital raw mG- terials such as rubber, tin, quinine and copra.
Holland, as a matter of fact, had almost a world monopoly on quinine as a result of the production, in the Netherlands India.
The survey stated that the Ameri- can Investments in the Netherlands India are not so important as are the sources of raw materials. This is partly due to the fact that for yenry the Dutch favoured British Father than American capital.
However, in 1920 American in- vestments there reached a peak of $201,300,000.
The terests tendency for American in- to expand was very marked
in the beginning of the present year, the survey said. The Philip- pine Manufacturing Co., a subsidary of Procter & Gamble, had planned to Icase 10,000 square miles of land for cultivation of palm trees and to construct a plant for the manufac- ture of palm oil.
Another American
company, whose nume was not disclosed, was reported ready to set up a margarine. factory in Soerabla.
The construction of a $4,000,000 (M) high-octane aviation gasoline plant by the Standard Oil's subsi- dary company. there was recently completed.
