RUBBER QUOTA RAISED

MINCING LANE IN THE DARK AS TO REASON

STOCKS SHOULD STILL FALL 24,000 TONS

Commenting on the decision of the International Rubber - Regulation Committee increasing the export al- lowance for the first quarter of next year to 50 per cent, of basic quotas, Syrnington and Wilson, Londen, in their report write:--

One is of course in the dark as to the reasoning which led the Com- mittee to their decision. In view of the agitation which has been going on in America for an increase to 55 per cent it is to be presumed that the American manufacturers put for ward high estimates of American !consumption in the early months of inext year.

On more than one occasion pre- viously estimates have been put for- ward on behalf of the manufacturers which have afterwards proved to be entirely illusory. One must belleve: that the Committee have by now learnt to regard these estimates with certain amount of sceptician and is therefore forced to the conclusion that on this occasion the Advisory Panel of Manufacturers have been able to show good reasons why their estimates are likely to prove correct.
