GOVERNMENT VOTES FUNDS FOR EXPORT LICENCES
London, Oct. 22. It is learned that the Netherland East Indies Government has made available over 5,500,000 guilders for taking over the export licences for 20,000 tone of rubber from the estates of the natives.
This works out at an average price of 28 cents per kilogramme, since the prico has been fixed at 27 cents for estates with free la- bour, and 290 cents for estates with contract labour.
In view of avoidance of dif ficulties, International consent has been asked for permission for ac- cumulation of stocks up to the end of 1935, with eventual quidation of these by the middle of 1936.
The scheme for individual res triction of native rubber is in pre- paration for which application is expecotd by January 1, 1937, at the
