Moreover, the opportunity to swing to peace- tine production depends as much upon available raw materigls as it does upon industrial facilities SYNTHETIC RUBBER'S FUTURE “Synthetic rubber is here to stay,” declares William M. Jeffers, Rubber Director, who maintains that, after the war, the product will be able to hold Its own against natural rubber, from the standpoint of uge snd cost, “without tariffs or subsidies” . Reminded that the Government owns the synthetic rubber plants now, Mr. Jeffers expressed the opinion that private industry should be given an opportunity to purchase the plants and to run them, He is & “great believer in private industry.” We are in agreement with Mr. Jeffers that private Industry should be given an opportunity to purchase the plants, provided private indus- try is ready to pay a fair price to the Government. Moreover, private industry should give assurances that in operating the plants, it will not ask for tariff protection or subsidies from the Government While the Government has constructed the synthetic rubber plants in connection with war demands, it would be foolish to sacrifice them to private industry, especially if operators of the pliant follow the ex- ample of other industries and seek tariff protection for their product Or a subsidy from the Government on the ground thet it is in the na- interest W keep the plants avaliable for another War emergency, THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PA.

The gist of the broadcast was as follows, Our troops are fighting in highly malarial areas in North Alrica, Guadalcanal, Burma. India, China, and many other places where mal- aria is equally as prevalent and deadly. In fact, no military opera- tions would be possible In such fev- er-infested regions without adequate supplies of anti-malarial drugs, with which to fight the deadly chills of fevers that follow the bite of infect- ed mosquitoes The two drugs are quinine and at- (abine.
