a peculiar way of reasoning when

SEEKS TO DISCOVER
IF ACTUAL PAPER
SHORTAGE EXISTS
Federal Commission Sends
Inquiry to Interests
Affected.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-TheFeder.
al Trade Commission, in conference
today with committees of newspa
per publishers, paper manufac
turers and jobbers in an effort to
work out a plan for relieving the
newsprint paper situation, ad
dressed inquiries to all the inter
ests concerned throughout the
country to ascertain if an actual
newsprint shortage exists.
Publishers of the larger papers
were asked if they will rellnquish
some of the paper they have con
tracts for during 1917; small pub
fishers were asked the extent of
their 1917 needs: manufacturers
were directed to inform the com
mission concerning 1917 con
tracts and their next years. pro
duction and jobbers were request
ed TO furnish general information
regarding the amount of newsprint
paper they will handle
The conference discussed plan
proposedsby manufacturers under
which large publishers would give
up five per cent of their 1917 COD
tract supplies to fill the needs of
small publishers. There was
growing objection On the part of
The large publishers to this pro
posal. The contention was ad
vanced that no actual shortage
exists and that manufacturers are
to blame if there is a shortage
next year.
Plans of the publishers for
financing paper mills to help take
care Of newspaper needs, it, was
said, are taking shape rapidly
Some publishers are of the opinion
this is the only way to increase
their newsprint production and
that the publishers of the country
must arrange to care for their own
needs or go out of business.
The committees of publishers,
manufacturers and jobbers will
be called into conference again,
probably next week, to discuss
the situation. 1t is expected she
replies to the inquiries will have
been received by then and details
of the plan Of distribution propos-
ed will have been worked out to
some extent.
A statement issued by the com
mittee today, at the conclusion of
the conferences, after referring to
kilograms sent by associations of
publishers, manufacturers and
jobbers, said:
"The commission finds, however,
that many publishers, and parti
cularly the smaller publishers of
the country, are not affiliated with
association and therefore will not
be directly reached through the
kilograms sent out by the publish
ers' committees. Such publishers
are requested by the commission
to send full information concern
ing their present situation as to
supply and their minimum require
ments for next year direct TO the
office of the commission IN Wash
ton"
