NEWSPRINT MANUFACTURE
RESEARCH IN AUSTRALIA. SATISFACTORY RESULTSSydney, Aug. 17. Senator McLoughlin, an assistant Minister, announces that he has every reason to believe that, as a result of the work of the Council of Scientic Research, a process has been developed whereby newsprint may be produced in Australia at a price sufficiently low to enable it to compete with the imported material. Plicate interests intend to spend £50,000 testing the process on a semicommercial scale. Local hardwoods used in the consumption of newsprint in Australia have doubled the last five years, increasing from 60,000 to 120,000 tons per annum, the value being £2,250,000. The “Herald” comments that there is little reason to doubt that efforts at local manufacture will be crpwned with success and eventually mean a saving to Australia of over £2,000,000 annually.
