NEWSPRINT SITUATION
Further Deterioration In Britain PA AUCKLAND, Dec, 11. Mr Bertram F. Jones, managing director of the News of the World, the British Sunday paper the circulation of which is over 8,500,000 and is the world’s largest, arrived today on a fortnight’s pleasure visit to New Zealand. His paper, he said, was restricted to three issues of eight pages and one of 10 pages every four weeks because of the newsprint shortage. “The newsprint position was bad when I left last October,” Mr Jones stated, “ but it has got a lot worse in the interval. I do not know ijow we are going to overcome the problem.” Mr Jones, who is accompanied by his wife, spent some time touring Australia before flying here.
