Report On Netherlands Indies Rubber Industry

Excerpt from Rubber Companies in the Netherland East Indies In case a company is considered f. i. Belgian, English etc., it must be understood that the greater part of the capital has been taken by the public in the relative countries. Under the heading "English Capital" are also entered companies which were floated and the capital of which has been taken in Shanghai and Hongkong, or in the Straits Settlements. The surprising development of rubber planting in the Netherland East Indies in the last few years shows how suitable, climatically and otherwise, these Colonies are considered to be for this cultivation. This favourable opinion is confirmed by the here under following articles of Prof. Dr. P. Van Romburgh of Utrecht University, and of Dr. P. Van Der Stok, Director of the Royal Netherland Meteorological Institute, at de Bilt (Utrecht). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
