Babson Sees Tire Crisis More Serious Than Gas Shortage
Babson cautions that tire shortages are more severe than gasoline issues as postwar demand grows. He notes limited prewar rubber output of about 250,000 tons annually for a few years, with the United States needing roughly 1,000,000 tons per year to meet world demand. He projects synthetic rubber plants operating at high capacity after the war and discusses company securities and postwar earnings, suggesting strong tire stock potential with effective management.
