RUBBER FOR GERMANY
Japanese May Have Eluded Blockade NEW YORK, October 30. The Washington correspondent of the “New York Times” says that the Government is concerned about reliable reports that Japan has succeeded in shipping rubber to Germany through the blockade. Officials explain that the rubber was apparently sent from Singapore southward through the Indian Ocean, round Cape Horn to French African ports. The Washington correspondent of the “Herald-Tribune'' says that an ollicial American mission is leaving for Russia soon to study the process of production of synthetic rubber from alcohol. It is understood that the Russians are using a special catalyst transforming alcohol to butadiene. The _ cumbersome American process is the chief bottleneck in the production of buna. It is announced that the United States Government Ims arranged to buy the Ford Motor Company’s lyre factory in Detroit, and will transfer its equipment to Russia, under the lease-lend programme. Officials of the Ford Company said that the machines would be dismounted and packed ready for transit as soon as final details of the agreement were settled.
