AUSTRALIAN PRESS.
COUNTRY ASSOCIATION. REPORTS TO CONFERENCE. A. and N.Z. SYDNEY. Oct. 11. The annual conference of Count/ry Press Association was opened to-day in Sydney. . . The annual report referred to the need for consideration of the question of the quick despatch and receipt of press cables grams. The report of the secretary said the price of newsprint had not been materially reduced through preference being granted to Canada in respect, of it. Only a few shillings a ton less than the best price for British-made paper was just sufficient to get business. The fact, that the largest makers of newsprint in the world had been allowed to dump their surplus paper into Australia had had a most damaging effect on the movement to make Australia self-con-tained in its newsprint requirements. It had upset the original calculations of those concerned in establishing the newsprint industry in Australia.
