Tho figur<s obtained from the COM

nominal oMnership of subsidiary COM

Thesaubsidary companies are caused to
charge an excrbitant amount Tor pulp

ifictitiously high cost OF raw material
increases the apparent cost OF produc-

the manufacturers make a tremendous

even according to their own figures,
and In addition make other large pro-

themselves thru medium subsidiary
com panies.
Other information in the report will
show that there Is q difference Of SIS

that much more to make paper in old
and rundown plants. But In up-to-date.

the lowest cost of production in Can

If the figures submitted bear out
these reports concerning the nature Of
the document which the president will
send to congress there is no question

sensation. It will not orly expose the

meeting Of the cabinet. It was decided
that no emergency. had been created

Tho president is disposed to defer to
the decision and is willing to take the
law al therein defined, He believes tho
decision will prove useful one. He
does not feel disposed to make any
public statement of his Views as to
the effect of the decision, because it
emanates from Q coordinate branch
of the government and as he himself
said. he would be the last man: to Salg-
