[?]on’s Return to [?] Rubber Market

11-million dollar Rubber Re 3rve Fund is being established y the Ceylon Government as a uard against a possible price

slump when the five-year trade agreement with Communist China terminates next year.

Malayan rubber price is the accepted world price and current military operations against the Com munists in Malaya are expected to affect some of that territory’s most productive rubber areas.

This may be offset by Ceylon’s leturn to the free-world open rubber market in 1957.
