Officials Claim Canada Is
By DAVE McINTOSl-I Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP)—-Canada is not
pulling its weight in Arctic re- search, officials said Wednesday
They were commenting on re- sults of an international confer- ence on Arctic sea ice at Easton, Md., last week. Nations repre- sented at the conference included Canada, the United States, Brit- ain, Russia, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany and Japan.
One authority here said Canada has more icebound coastline than sny'other nation but is doing less on ice research than any other country represented at the con. ference.
TRANSFER N0 HELP
Another official said this situ- ation will tend to worsen instead of improve in light of transfer of the navy’s Arctic pa.trol vessel Labrador to the transport depart- ment.
The Labrador carried out con- sidera-ble oceanographic and hy- drographic research in the last three years.
Officials disclosed Wednesday, however, that the Labrador will -be confined this year to convoy- ing supply ships into the Arctic.
One reason was that it was dif- ficult for the Canadian govern- ment derpar-tments involved in such work to obtain funds for an expanded ‘program when there
as no commercial navigation a ross the -Canadian Arctic. QUALITY HIGH
Officials said the quality of Canadian Arctic research com- pares favorably with that of any other country.
The Labrador last year proved a northwest passage for large ships and officials said a com- mercial route is “not hnpos- sible."
The U.S. Navy plans to accele- rate arctic research in view of the proven ability of submarines to operate undetected under ice.
The U.S. and Russia both have «landed scientific teams on drift- ing ice islands in the Arctic

By FORBES RHUDE Canadian Press Business Editor Ca-nadiian consumption of rub- ber, expected to be well down in the first six months of thislyear as compared with the same per- iod last year, probably will show a more favorable comparison in the final six months.
The over-all result is expected to be reduction of less than two per cent for the year.
This is the view of the Rubber Association of Canada, expressed with the issuance of the first in a sei-i~es.ocf rubber statistics which the -association plans to put out regularly.
In 1957, member companies, which account for about 90 Per cent of total Canadian consump- tion, used 80,146 long tons of new

Decline Forecast In Canadian Use Of Rubber This Year
rubber, the second highest level
on record, compared with 83,711 tons in 1956. PRICES LOWER
Consumption is estimated at 39,354 tons in the first six months this year, compared with 43,529 tons in the first half of 1957; 39,- 420 tons in the second six months, compared with 36,617; and I. total for the year of 78,774 tons. In spite of recent decreases which have lowered the prices of several commonly used grades of natural rubber to more or less parity with the price of synthetic rubber, association members ex- pect to use proportionately less natural rubber in 1958 than in 1957. Percentages are expected to be 44.6 per cent of natural rubber compared with 46.6 per cent in 1957; and 55.4 per cent of synthe- tic compared with 53.4.
The association plans to issue these consumption figures twice a year, and to give figures on tire production monthly.
The first tire figures, made up from all Canadian tire producers, show that production of pneuma- tic tires (excluding bicycle tires) in 1957 was 7,868,464 units—sec- ond highest on record—coinpared with 8,327,117 units in 1956.
Production of passenger - car tires was 6,634,641 units, slightly below 1956 production of 6,896,863 units. Total sales of passenger tires were 6,594,656 units
