NEWFOUNDLAND
PAPER INDUSTRY
Gets BAD JOLT

St. Johns, n. r, Jan. 31--Much uncer-
tainty is felt here as to the probable eff
feet of recent war developments on the
pulp and paper industry in newfoundland.
When the announcement WAS made that
Sweden had prohibited the export of pulp
wood. which had been largely consumed
In Great Britain, it was thought that
MUGS of the trade might be diverted to
mills in the interior of the colony. Short
ly afterward, however. it became known
that the British government had put in
force more stringent regulations govern
ing importations into England in order
to release more steamers for direct war
use
1t is understood that these regulations
will apply, in part at least. to- paper
and pulp In that case the Newfound-
land mills might. be forced to curtail
their output or shut down entirely.
The largest plant in. the colony, con.
trolled by Lord Northcliffe. the London
publisher, and his brothers, has daily
output Of 200 tons of paper and 80 tons
of ground wood pulp Four thousand
tons of these materials are now await
ing the arrival of a steamer to take
them to England. Two smaller con-
cerns one London-owned and one opera
ted by New MFoundland capital, manu-
facture mechanical pulp.
