BURDEN ON AUTO OWNERS Senator McCormick Says Export Tax On Rubber Is to Pay British Debt By Arthur Sears Henning Washington, D. (’.. Jan. 30.—(Special to Daily Democrat)— Through manipulation of its crude rubber monopoly, recently initiated, Great Britain will be enabled to pay its 4,800.000,000 war <iebt to the United States in a decade at the expense of American automobile owners and other rubber consunii rs, according to Senator Medill McCormick, republican. Illinois. Ten senator submitted to the senate a commerce department report detailing the new British export duties and other measures for restricting the production and increasing the price of ( rude rubber grown in the Malaysian states. The duties are practically prohibitive on exports in excess of 60 per cent of the 1920 volume of production, i ising from 8 cents a pound on exports between 60 and 65 per cent to 24 cents < n exports in excess of 100 per cent. Rubber Prices Rise Sharply The cost of crude rubber already has nearly doubled as a result of the British restrictions and the price of automobile tires has advanced sharply within the last month. Tires and other rubber articles are going to cost American consumers, it is estimated, from 300,000,000 to $600,000,000 a year more than hitherto. At the latter figure the British, said Senator McCormick, would take a toll from American consumers alone sufficient to discharge their debt in about eight years. Henry Ford and Harvey S. Firestone, tire manufacturer, are so alarmed over the prospects of the operation of the British monopoly that they are going to the Philippines to see what can be done to develop rubber production in those islands. Mr. Firestone has been here several days arranging for the expedition. They also intend to survey the hope that an American source tlie the hope that an American source cf production can be established within the next five years, which will release American consumers from the grip of the British monopoly. United States Is Hit Hardest ' The action ot the British Malaysian government requiring British rubber producers to limit output and to increase the price of crude rubber is more important to the American peo- . pie than to any other people in the world,” said Senator McCormick. “Some 70 per cent of the total domestic rubber production in the world ir. grown in British possession and m arly 10 per cent more is British grown elsewhere. America, if my memory serves me, consumes about 70 per cent of the rubber produced. In short, we shall pay the greater part of any increased price. " It has been estimated that the cost ' of rubber to the American people will be somewhere between $25,000,000 and $50,000,000 a month. The services of the American automobile owner then will be enlidted for a decade in paying the British war debt to America.— Chicago Tribune. e GERMAN POLICE DOGS : Mayor Shank Advocates Dogs For Indianapolis Police Department Indianapolis, Jan. 30 —German po- ( lice dogs may be brought to IndianI apolis to work in the police depart- , nient, if plans announced today by .
