POST WAR RUBBER MARKETS
POSSIBLE COMPETITION DISCUSSED From Our Own Correspondent DUNEDIN, June 11. Post-war competition between plantation and synthetic rubber of various types was mentioned by Mr F. W, Parker, chairman of directors of the Dominion Rubber Company at the annual meeting this afternoon. About 95 per cent, of the rubber supplies had, he said, been lost through Japanese aggression. America, the greatest consumer of the plantation product, now appeared likely to become the greatest producer of synthetic rubber. How both products were to be consumed after the war was a vital question. There would be a great conflict of interests between the two groups of capital, that invested in the synthetic rubber industry and the other represented by the great British and Dutch interests in Malaya and the Netherlands East Indies, He did not know whether all synthetic units would function after the war. It might not be economic to carry them on. The underlying principles of the Atlantic Charter would be kept in mind in all decisions made.
