PAPER SHORTAGE
CRAVE PROBLEM
FOR PUBLISHERS
Many Small Newspapers Must
Suspend Unless EQuabIe
Distribution Can Be Brought
About by Trade Commission
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO MORNING JOURNAL

Washington, Dec 24.-Christmas
eve is not a time of joy for the small
publishers of the country on that
point the federal trade commission is
assured from the replies which have
come in from the questions sent
broadcast over the country, some days
ago.
The smaller publishers Of the coun-
try who are protected by short con-
tracts are strictly up against the real
thing, unless the commission can
bring them relief. Not only are prices
bankruptingly high, but there is dan
ger that even enough paper to issue
even a twopage sheet may not be pro-
durable two or three months from
now.
Commissioner Patrick, who is in ac-
tive charge Of the inquiry says moth
ing will be left undone that can be
done to bring about an equable distri-
button Of the supplies. All publishers
are asked to curtail their use of paper,
where possible, but the chief savings
must be in the big metropolitan
dallies where. Notwithstanding prom
tscs and agreements, there has been
little reduction in size up to this time.
Many of the small papers over the
country will be obliged to stop publ
cation unless the stringency can be
abated, is the verdict of members of
the commission and of publishers who
understand the situation
