RUBBER AND AMERICAN DEBT.
There is, however, no doubt a tendency to take somewhat extravagant views as to the future price of rubber, and con- sequently those who insist strongly upon the increased demands for rubber if trade improves may, perhaps, be re- minded that the commodity has already risen to a price which, to some extent, must check commercial demands, such as those which were stimulated when the price was very mu-eh-lower: MeanWhile, American protests against restriction of output seem to be less vigorous, partly, no doubt, because of the modifications of restriction which -have already been made and partly, perhaps, because there are some at least in America who see justice in the fact that Great Britain, as the largest Darer of War Debts to the United States, has legitimate cause
for satisfaction in the fact that her payments are being some what eased by the satisfactory prices obtainable for rubber.
