Rubber prices stay low as British policy boosts supply
The piece notes rubber sells at 67 cents a pound during war, down from 1.25 and 3 dollars in earlier years. It credits British imperial plantation policy begun in 1898 for controlling 75 percent of world rubber, with Brazil's share shrinking to 23 percent. It adds rubber’s rise as a substitute for leather, and mentions BC figures like Ervin McMullen planning a dairy herd and a display of ten BC battalion trophies in London.
