Dodge, but to all the paper manufac-

has offered many inducements to the
American paper companies and several
OF the larger ones have made prepare
tons for such a movement.
The paper manufacturers say that
they have no alternative. They say
that with the elimination of the Dres-
cnt duty OF 1919 per ton on newsprnt,
the American concerns would either be
driven TO Canada to make fair mar
gin OF profit or would be driven out
of business.
Mr. Dodge says: at present we are
not receiving fair price for our pro-
duct but If we could raise the price
of newsprint slightly above the pre-
vaiiing figures, we would be able to
show substantial earnings. and To pay
a fair rate of dividend to shareholders.
Prices have been reduced so much that
it is impossible for them TO go much
lower. even IL paper is put on the free
list Although the price of newsprint
is quoted at lib cents per pound, this
is not the actual price received by the
manufacturers. From the quoted sell
ing price must be deducted the cost OF
transportation. storage, etc, after
which the net price received is about
los cents per pound"
