They say Wilson has blundcred.
Perhaps he has. But ] notice that he

Threatened Suspension OF Newspapers

a FTER careful investigation of the Daper-
shortage situation which began us an
inquiry into the high price OF white paper
the Federal Trade Commission is now giving
serious consideration to possible means of
preventing the suspension Of papers," Ii is
addressing letters to leading publishers
throughout the country, urging rigid con-
servation OF paper. and asking for co-opera-
ton and suggestions
Whatever the commissions formal and Of
1lcial report may disclose, it is evident il re-
CARDS economy the only immediate means
for tightening the present burden and pre-
venting what would otherwise be an actual
paper famine. Its advice to the publishers is
that the present situation can ONLY be
aticFla,ed by increasing the output or rcduc-
ing consumption" There seems to he no
way at hand to Increase the output for all
the mills are working to the limit OF their
capacity, and even il an increased supply of
raw material were available IL is extremely
doubtful if facilities for its manufacture into
paper could be provided III time TO meet the
demands of The present. not to speak OF the
near future
Therefore, the commission is making this
notable effort To bring about a reduction in
consumption. The only parallel to this ac-
ton on the part Of Federal agency that
suggests itscf-in this country-is supplied
by municipality when, because of drought
or other emergency. it dminishes the amount
or water allowed 10 consumers. There are
TWO striking differences between these cases
however: one is city-wide and the other is
nationwide; the municipality can enforce its
principles OF economy and the commission
cannot. II mus; depend OH cooperation
among the publishers and the public
Among the desirable methods suggested
apart from the cutting off OF returns. the
elimination OF waste and other wise provi-
sions already put into effect by iar-seeing
publishers the commission recommends re-
duction in the size of the big Sunday papers
what it has in mind is the great metropolitan
paper that publishes many features and sup
PIGMENTS, and it calls attention To the fact
that the paper saved by cutting down the
size Of one large Sunday edition several pases
would he sufficient TO keep n number of
smaller papers supplied for u considerable
time"
Ihis Is the principal point. The question
OF price is serious enough; hut even more I'M
portant is the question of supply, no matter
AZ what price Unless the large city papers
take such unselfSh action" as the commits
sion says is necessary, and all the papers
practice strict economy there will not be
enough paper 10 go around. and there will
be nothing 10 save the smaller publishers
from going out Of business" That is the
situation the Federal Trade Commission is
trying TO sa"c. and every publisher owes the
effort his support

And cause the just man to exclaim:

What sneak thief. footpad, ,robber,
Dared come behind my back
And lit my new umbrella
From out yon empty rack?

What foul dishonest bloke
Has taken my umbrella
And loft ME in the soak?"
So up and down he goeth,
Lifting his voice on high,
Awhile the rain keeps pouring
From out n darkening sky:
And they that gather round him
Smoker and say: "'Tis we'll.
He gets no sympathy who fails
To guard his new umbrella
Upon the just ana unjust

But the unjust man is wearing
Loud smiles upon Ills face,
For Ger his head he carries
