Germany's Future Rubber TradePerhaps the most interesting development here since my last communication is the revival of interest in preparations for the commercial and, industrial struggle that is sure to follow this terrible war. The Berlin chamber of commerce recently held a general discussion at length. The representative business men who attended were unanimous in their belief that measures of preparation should be taken immediately and that adequate quantities of raw material should be purchased—without haste, but as soon as practical—to be held in neutral countries for shipment to Germany as soon as the war ends. All were of opinion that if peace comes before German interests have been able to secure such supplies of raw materials as this country will need, the prices that will be demanded for tha*e materials wilp be prohibitive, even though our enemies may not attempt to place obstacles in the way of our industries, a course they may decide to adopt.—lndia Rubber World.
