Restriction Negotiations and the International Agreement of 1934
Abstract
IN 1928 Mr. Ormsby Gore (now Lord Harlech), then Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies, noted and deprecated a widespread tendency in the rubber industry to look to restriction for a solution of all difficulties, and to shelter behind output control as a substitute for competitive reduction of costs. 1 His remarks evoked much protest in Malaya but they were confirmed by the widespread demands for a re-imposition of restriction almost immediately after the end of the Stevenson scheme in November 1928 and well before the onset of the slump.
