Government Takes Over Import and Distribution of Natural Rubber
The U S government declared control of virtually all natural rubber and latex imports effective tomorrow with only General Services Administrator Jess Larson authorized to import. The move aims to safeguard supply for defense use and may lower prices by removing private buyers, while not affecting tires or consumer rubber products. Contracts made before Jan 4 may remain if registered, but Larson can disapprove. This expands control beyond synthetic rubber and seeks advantageous government purchasing and sale management.
