Solving Rubber Problem
LONDON, May 17. The rubber problem is not yet solved, but it is in the best shape it has ever been, said the Rubber Director '1 (Mr. Jeffers) in an interview. As a result of savings, also greater production of synthetic rubber and greater importation of crude than was expected, rubber stocks at the end of 1943 will be 142,000 tons, which is 40,000 tons more than originally estimated. Mr. Jeffers added that 27 units for the manufacture of synthetic rubber (were operating or ready to operate. The remaining 54 projected units would be operating before the end of 1943, producing in 1944 more than 750,000 long tons of crude rubber.
