i Dependence on other industries. Dominant position of the United States. in each garment is small. In electrical cables and wires the cost of the rubber used for insulation forms but a small part of the final cost. To consolidate the trade statistics for all these greatly differing industries as if they were all equally important branches of a rubber manufacturing industry would clearly be of ho value. We therefore, later in this report, deal separately with those sections— tyres, mechanical rubber goods, rubber footwear and rubber soles and heels—for which separate figures are available in the trade returns of the more important manufacturing countries and then bring together in a separate section the information we have been ble to collect regarding the other miscellaneous uses of rubber. We have omitted any detailed treatment of the trade in wires and cables, in which articles rubber forms only a small fraction of the final cost. 9. A brief consideration of the uses of rubber enumerated in paragraph 7 brings out another characteristic of the industry—its dependence on other industries. Certain of the articles mentioned ‘here, frequently many of less importance such as rubber balls, erasers, fountain pens, hot-water bottles, are in demand by the public independently of the fluctuating conditions in other indus- tries, but for many of the main uses to which rubber is put, as for instance in belting, in valves, in electrical installations, in tele- phones, in wireless and even in tyres, the progress of the rubber manufacturing industry largely depends on the progress of other industries, such as the development of the telephone service or the enterprise of the motor car trade. The rate of development of the rubber manufacturing industry in any country is thus dependent fo a great extent on the rate of development of other industries over which it.can exercise no control. In tyres, for example, a contract for first equipment of a car has an added importance to the tyre manufacturer from the advertisement it gives him when the car is sold. Thus tyre manufacturers in countries in which ihe motor car industry is rapidly extending have an advantage over hose in which progress is not so rapid. 10. The tyre industry of the United States possesses an almost »verwhelming advantage on account of the size of the home market for motor vehicles. During 1926, 1927 and 1928 more than 78 per cent. of the motor vehicles registered in the world were in the United States, while the American share in the world production of motor vehicles, has been during the same period 85% per cent. in 1926, 81 per cent. in 1927 and 83} per cent. in 1928. In motor vehicles the United States also has a large share in the world sxport trade. That share, including assémblies in foreign countries, was 69 per cent. in 1926, 80% per cent. in 1927 and 34 per cent. in 1928. The tyre industry largely follows the motor vehicle trade and the United States thus has also a dominating
