With price of tire going skyward, af fecting millions of automobile users !n this country, government official are giving serious consideration to the condition 'brought about by tbe rubber monopoly exercised by Great Britain and are looking about for means of relief. Aa a first step, congress will be asked to open the way for rubber production in the Philippines, in or der to provide a supply free from British control. According to rub ber producers, legislation would be necessary a present laws allow lease of only 2600 acres to, one corporation, which they say would not be enough to make large scale production, profitable. Urltlsli Monopoly The department cf commerce ha completed a survey of possibilities In the Philippines and tn Latin-America, as directed by congress which will be made public In a few days.
