 * It's purely external links, so it clearly fits CSD-A3. --Interiot 06:27, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * The editor might be gathering his sources to write, without realizing that empty articles get deleted. Although that seems a bit less likely now. Ashibaka tock 06:38, 31 January 2006 (UTC)


 * That was pretty much it. I gathered some links, but that's all I could do last night. --Prmacn 01:19, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Stevenson Plan
The natural rubber saga is the basis for discussion of free-trade vs. monopolies. The Stevenson Plan was implemented in the 1920s to stabilize rubber prices. However, it was abandoned in the late 20s because of all the problems associated with cartels. Then the Great Depression hit and the need for a cartel to protect producers was revisited, resulting in the International Rubber Regulation Agreement.
