Many Producers in Agreement

Amsterdam, Yesterday. No further meetings of interna- tional rubber interests are expected. Some Dutch producers have asked for a postponement to date, from March 5, whereby the approval or disapproval of the proposal to sus inpend tapping in May may be notified by those who were absent or unable to vote at the meeting on Feb. 19. The British Committee agreed to a postponement to March 29. It was decided that a joint British and Dutch communique should be pub- lished then. It is learned that a very large majority of producers has agreed to the decisions made on Feb. 19.---Reuter. -
