NEWS PRINT SHORTAGE
HAND-TO-MOUTH SUPPLIES. Preea Association—Bt Telegraph—Copyright. OTTAWA, January 3. An official denial is given to the report that tha Canadian Government ever contemplated entirely prohibiting the export of news print. The Canadian newspapers use 20 per cent, of the local output, and the remaining 80 per cent, must bo exported, or the paper industry must close down. The Government's only object in interfering is to see that the Canadian papers got a fair share of the supplies, as their first call -will not interfere with the balance for export. There is reason to believe that the Pacific Coast mills will continue supplying Australasia this year substantially on the same basis as last vear, but publishers everywhere realise that prices are rising with the acute scarcity, and that all reserve stocks have been wiped out, even the richest newspapers having to bo content with hand-to-mouth supplies. Certainly there is no hope of Australasia getting more paper than she has been receiving from Canada.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
