NEWSPRINT SHORTAGE
AMERICAN PAPERS AFFECTED
MAGAZINES RESTRICTED P.A AUCKLAND, Feb. 27. American newspapers were like those in other parts of the world, suffering from a shortage of newsprint, said Mr John A. Brogan, vice-presi-dent of Hearst Newspapers, International News Service, King Feature Syndicate, and United News Photo Service, who was a through passenger on the Marine Phoenix. Mr Brogan admitted that the American papers were considerably larger than those in most parts of the world, but the numbers of publications and magazines printed had had to be restricted. There was no Government control of paper in the United States and he felt that in no freedom-loving country should there be any control of newspapers. There was an' ever-increasing demand for comic strips in the world, Mr Brogan continued. He said that people of all ages and all types were reading them regularly and his syndicate’s business had been doubled during the past year.
