Rubber imports cut by one third to save tonnage
The War Trade Board limited U S crude rubber imports to 100000 tons annually and licenses to 25000 tons from May 6 to July 31 to conserve tonnage for military needs. The cut exceeds one third of 157000 tons annual imports and aims to meet Allied needs while rationing licensed rubber to manufacturers by consumption in 1917. The move follows price regulation steps and consultation with the War Industries Board.
