Exports of rubber manufactures other than tyres of less than 
100 tons weight have been omitted. 
Countries to which less than 100 tons of these goods ’’ were 
exported have been omitted. Yet the fourteen countries for which 
details have been given took 5,700 tons out of the 6,003 tons 
exported from France in 1927. In contrast with this total the 
exports of rubber belting alone from the United Kingdom in 1927 
exceeded 11,000 tons (c.f. paragraph 43). The French export 
trade in rubber goods is predominantly a trade in tyres (c.f. para- 
graph 67). The markets for other rubber goods are mostly in the 
countries of Europe and the Mediterranean basin. The United 
Kingdom is the chief. In 1927 the exports to that market con- 
sisted of rubber footwear (829 tons), belting and mechanicals 
(486 tons), waterproofed clothing (84 tons), of elastic and elastic 
issues (60 tons). 
XIV.—SUMMARY OF THE FOREGOING ANALYSIS OF 
EXFORT TRADES. 
71. This closes our analysis of the export trades of the chief 
countries competing in the international trade in rubber goods. 
Although the manufacture of tyres overshadows all other branches 
of the rubber industry, yet the foregoing analysis brings out the 
movement of the large tyre firms to establish their own factories 
in different countries and also the manner in which the inter- 
national trade in other forms of rubber goods is developing. Rubber
