COMPREHENSIVE INQUIRY
TO BE MADE.
(By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright)
(Received This Day, 12.50 p.m.) WASHINGTON, August 6
President Roosevelt has vetoed a Bill seeking to create an independent agency to manufacture rubber from grain. Mr Roosevelt’s message to the Senate said that the Bill, if passed with the backing of the Farm Bloc, would hamper instead of aid the war effort, would break up the existing logical co-ordination of ceniralised control in the War Production Board and override priorities established by the board for materials necessary to hundreds of essential war products. Mr Roosevelt simultaneously created a committee to investigate the whole rubber nroblem.
A message from Quito (Ecuador) says the Government announced the sale of all rubber produced to the United States. The contract provides that Ecuador shall receive an annual quota of at least a hundred tons of manufactured rubber goods from the United States, chiefly tires.
