Collection:: Economics Books

considerable proportion of reclaimed rubber is used in their manu- facture. The machinery is comparatively inexpensive, a factory needing about £10,000 capital. There is a considerable demand for rubber soles and heels throughout the world, but it is im- possible to obtain any reliable estimate of the amount of crude rubber absorbed in this industry. In the United States, in which the manufacture js on a very large scale 5,591 tons of crude rubber were absorbed in 1928* in the manufacture of soles and heels, being 1.4 per cent. of the total absorption of crude rubber, and 9.6 per cent. of the amount of crude rubber absorbed in the manufacture of rubber goods other than tyres and tubes. Since 1927 , the manu- facture of rubber composition soles and heels has greatly increased. These are mainly produced in Canada, see paragraph 78, and the United States, but chiefly for export. The recent increase in the 2xports of these articles from these two countries is very noticeable. [n the export returns of the United States they are included with rubber soles and heels, but in the Canadian returns rubber soles and heels are not specified. A similar kind of composition sole and heel is also being made in the United Kingdom. inter- national trade. Exports of the United Kingdom and the United Ntotas 61. The United States and Canada are the largest exporters of rubber soles and heels, and there are considerable exports from the United Kingdom, France and Germany. Other countries also ex- port smaller quantities of soles and heels chiefly to their neigh- bouring countries—Czecho-Slovakia, Belgium, Russia and Austria are the chief exporters in this group. In the export trade returns, however, only the United States and the United Kingdom specify the exports of rubber soles and heels. In the returns of most of the other producing countries they are included with other articles and are indistinguishable. 62. The table on the following page shows the exports of rubber soles and heels from the United States and from the United Kingdom, in 1928, as well as the principal markets for them arranged in descending order of importance. The total values of shese exports in 1927 were :— £ United Kingdom ... . - 76,040 United States ... .e “. a. sit 392,137 The United States exports in 1928 were 27 per cent. greater than in 1927 a See paragraph 20.
