from paper:
Says a recent consular report,
speaking of this paper cloth:

way and the extreme cheapness. of
the yarns now in use is really a re
markble achievement. 1t should
be said that this is not a hap

The report then proceeds to deal

extent almost unlimited. Says
the report;

is stated, is the fact that it can be
