CONTROL COMPARED
COPPER AND RUBBER
(British Official Wireless.)
EUGBY, 14th' June. The formation of a company embracing a large proportion of the producers of copper in the United States, with the object of regulating the sale of raw copper outside that country, was the subject of questions in Parliament Sir P. Cunliffe-Lister (president of the Board of Trade) said that he was aware that important European interests were parties to arrangement, and he was informed that, since its formation, the prices quoted to British consumers were frequently higher than to American consumers. He added that he would welcome the development of Empire copper production. In answer to a supplementary question, he said that there was no similarity between the control of rubber, for which prices were common to the whole world, and that of copper, in which there was a differentiation in prices.
