the millions of trees which are said to exist untipped in the forest of Brag', it can be found surely enough to the inducements which the Government inelf bara, accently offered for the establishment in Brazi of cultivated rubber plastations, Ample proofs have been girou by the Easter planter of his ability to produce plantation sabber at one half of the cost at which the Bn zillan can collect it from wild trees; and with labour in Brazil scarce and unsatisfacto y, and costing four or five times the cost of labour in Malaya, it is inconceivable that the Government of Brazil can do much to Impede the inevitabla transfer of the chief seat of the great robber in- dastry Trom South America to the Middle East What Brazil has failed to do with rubbor at-82. and ror. per lb. ste will never accomplish when the commodity has fallen to 30, and at that figure many of the Eastern plantation shares which my readers bold will pay dividends of ico and 200 por cent.
