Rubber Agency Chief Says Synthetic Industry Survives War
Rubber Director Bradley Dewey announced the liquidation of his bureau and resignation. He said the new 750 million dollar synthetic rubber industry will endure into peacetime, producing at about 836 000 tons per year, well above prewar natural rubber consumption. He argued chemists will outcompete natural rubber as labor costs rise. The note also mentions the Panama Railroad as a historical aside.
