The announcement of Jesse Jones that the factories would be ready by a year from next July was thought “optimistic” by some of the Akron rubber experts in Washington, but they admitted that no dangerous bottlenecks stood in the way of rapid construction of the $400,000.000 worth of plants.

|a pound, about three times the 10{year average for crude rubber. The 40,000 tons of synthetic rubber capacity which is to be available with current additions is about to be raised to 120,000 tons under arrangements recently made by the RFC. Mr. Jones' announcement implies a further addition of 280,000 tons. In the last few days rubber has been rapidly becoming the No. 1 commodity problem of the American and British war effort, moving in ahead of copper. The British are leaning on the Americans to solve it, because of our petroleum. Military requirements of rubber are expected to reach a total of 400,000 tons in the next two years, nearly all of which might have to come (out of the 600,000 tons of crude rubber now in this country or afloat.

A few men of the embattled Tarakan garrison, which had held out for three days against overwhelming odds, managed to fight their way to Borneo in face of merciless fire from Japanese paras chutists and sea-borne troops and Japanese invasion ships off shore. The Japanese invaders were believed to be led by Japanese long familiar with the territory.
