The whole point is, be observed, "that the demand has outgrown the supply, and so rapidly that the producers have been taken by surpilse.. The quantity of rubber required for motor-cars in all parts of the world is alone sufficient to explais the shortage.

Mr. McKinnon Wood: I have explained the nature of this agreement in my reply to a previous question by the noble lord on the 13th inst., His Majesty's Government were con- sulled, and assented to the agreement between the two financial groups concerned, but it never became an agreement between the two Govera ments. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negativa.
