Philippines Could Help End Rubber Monopoly, Hoover Report
A Commerce Department survey directed by Secretary Hoover says Philippine Islands could produce about 70,000 tons of rubber annually, challenging British control of the world supply. Philippines offer more favorable cultivation conditions than Sumatra and Malaya, with local labor and congested provinces seen as potential for large output. Foreign capital would be needed to establish plantations, linked to U.S. bankers holding over 10 billion in investments abroad. The island population exceeds 10 million, suggesting sufficient labor to reach the projected output.
