DANcER or A PAPER FAMINE

DANGER OF A PAPER FAMINE
The publicity campaign institute,
at athe request of the manufacturer
Of writing paper by the Department
& OF Commerce, calling on household
ers ,to. save their rags and waste. pap
ers, has temporarily helped the stu
alton in that it has brought to mar
ket the reserves" held in the hands
of the householder. The situation
before that request went out was ex
tremely critical.
II is probably true that the actual
production of rags and waste papers
n,this country would be sufficient fol
the present capacity Of the mills-if
everybody saved rags and waste
paper.
Higher prices must be paid to the
householder, however, to make II
3 worth her while to save the rags and
waste papers which, in the last few
years, she has been In the habit of
burning. That, of course, means
permanently higher cost to the paper
manufacturers. and, therefore, per-
manently higher selling prices on
paper.
The importation Of rags from the
other side is absolutely cut of. 1t Is
impossible to say, owing to the lack
of proper government statistics, just
how much that means, but 1t is fair
to estimate that from rs per cent to
35 per cent of the rags used In the
past ten years have come from
abroad.
Rags are being used in increasing
quantities for purposes other than
papermaking. Roofing felt is made
largely OF rags, and for certain pur-
poses connected with the manufac-
tare- OF mutations there is a greatly
increased demand for rags.
A very large portion Of the
bleached sulphite pulp heretofore i'm
ported has come from the Central
Empires, and that, Of course, is now
absolutely shut off. Pulp is still
coming from the Scandinavian coun-
tries, and will probably continue to
come as long as these countries re-
main neutral; but II they should
eater the war that supply would
cease.
To further complicate the situa-
ton, Great Britain is morally, al

wood pulp-in other words, Canals
will not ship any pulp to this coun
try which Great Britain can use.
i Owing to the practical impossi
bility of securing further supplies o.
chemicals, 1t is unlikely that any
further additions will be made to the
domestic wood pulp production until
Ilong after the war is over.
"Spot" pulp-that is pulp for i'm
mediate delivery in addition to con-
tract equirements-when available,
as 1t is sometimes In limited quanti-
ties, is eagerly snapped up by mills
who are short of supplies, at prices
about three times that which they
are paying on their contracts made
last fall.
In addition to the absolute short
age Of material, and the increased
demand for paper of all kinds, clear
down to newspaper and cheap boards,
there are several very serious con-
tingencies that must be taken into
account.
First. For instance, II the mills of
one Of the larger producers of
bleached sulphite pulp should be de-
stroyed by fire, every paper mill in
Holyoke and several in the central
west would temporarily be out of
business inside of forty-eight hours.
Second: II the importation Of
Scandinavian pulps should be cut off
through embargos on the part OF the
Scandinavian countries themselves,
or because of their entering the war,
the same result would follow, as
practically every writing paper man
ufacturer Is dependent to some ex-
tent on the Scandinavian supply.
Third: II Great Britain should
make absolute the moral comman-
deering of the Canadian product,
above referred to, then the Canadian
product, which, in re-
duced quantities, is still coming into
this country, and some Of which is
being bleached by the paper mills
themselves, would be cut of abso-
lutely. In that case practically the
same results would follow.
All things considered, therefore,
we do not look for anything to hap
pen until long after the close Of the
war that will enable the mills to
make lower prices on paper than are
now being made, and there are all
the contingencies mentioned above
which must be considered as posi- |
bilities tending toward still higher |
prices than now ruling, or even to an
actual famine.
II none of these contingencies &C.
cur, our judgment is that the pres
ent level of prices, which is 40 per
cent to so per cent higher than pre-
vailed last year, may be sufficient for |
the rest of the year 1916 to cover
costs and allow normal profit to the
mills. What may happen in 1917,
when the present contracts of the
mills on these raw materials have ex-
PRED, we are not prophets enough to
predict.
The printer should not speculate.
He should be satisfied with the
profit he has made in the enhanced
value of any increased quantity he
may have been able to add to his
stock before the last advances went
into effect.
On the other hand, we do not think
he ought to let his stock run down,
but should keep 1t up to normal
tonnage, buying each week or each
month the equivalent of what guam
tity he used the previous week or

DEMOCRATIC PROMISES
TO FARMERS FULFILLED.
Benefits Under Wilson Set Forth In
Official Pamphlet.

The Democratic platform of 1912
made this promise to the farmers of
America:
'Of equal importance with the cues
ton of currency reform is the question
Of rural credits or agricultural finance.
Therefore we recommend that am in
vestigation of agricultural credit gocie-
ties in foreign countries be made, SO
that it may be ascertained whether a
system of rural credits may be devised
suitable to conditions in the United
States, and we also favor legislation
permitting national banks to loan a
reasonable proportion of their funds
on real estate security.
I'VE recognize the value of vocation
al education and urge federal appro-
priattons for such training and exten-
sion teaching in agriculture in coop
Grafton with the several states"
These pledges, with many other serF-
ices to the farmer, have been com
pletely fulfilled in the legislation of
the present administration. The record
of Democratic Performance is offered
in comparison with the Republican
record of broken promises to the farm
er in an attractive pamphlet issued by
the Democratic national committee.
Copies have been furnished to every
Democratic state committee for free
distribution.
