Rubber Committee Corrects Session Mix Up in Hearings
Washington January 7 The House committee investigating foreign monopolies in rubber and other raw materials halted hearings to deny a Washington Post report that Secretary Hoover presented confidential dispatches. Chairman Parker said Hoover’s remarks related only to consumer groups and to discussions with foreign monopolies, not to any dispatches. A L Wiles of the Rubber Association of America testified about talks with the British Rubber Growers Association starting in October 1922 seeking protection for American exporters if shortages occurred. The witness condemned Stevenson plan for controlling production in British colonies as flawed and said it undermines supply and demand and price fairness.
