FUTURE OF RUBBER
In a statement accompanying the full accounts of the Dunlop Rubber. Co., Great Britain, Sir George Beharrell explained that last year's fall in net profit from £3,186,000 to £2,433,000 was clue to curtailment of business owing to regulations and to lower margin of profit on greatly increased proportion of business for Allied Governments. The balance-sheet revealed stocks valued at or below cost fallen from £11,147,190 to £10,799,297. On the question of rubber supplies, Sir George expressed the view that "the current year should see us nearer to the temporary solution of this problem through an increase in supplies of the synthetic material from the United States." He viewed the future with confidence.
