The white paper crisis pending
is SO critical that according to the
American Newspaper Publishers
Association thousands of daily
newspapers will be crippled and
1000 are likely to be put out OF
business.
The situation 10 80 clearly put
in 4 ''double-leaded editorial nn-
der the heading, 1.-THE White Pa.
per Crisis" in the Kansas City
Star that il is repnblished here,
as follows:
White paper 10 the newspa-
per's raw material. II 10 like the
leather of the shoe manufacturer
or the lumber of the furniture
factory. The newspaper takes
the white paper, stamps II with
ink, divides the product into
packages and sells them. This
blank paper 10 by far the highest
single item in the cost of produc-
ing a newspaper of large circnla.
ton. Consequently the unprece-
denied and enormous advance in
the price of white paper has made
an acute crisis in the publishing
business.
A newspaper like the Star, for
instance, that uses twenty-five
thousand tons of white paper a
year, is now confronted with a
white paper cost of hundreds of
thousands of dollars in excess of
that of last year.
This increased expense would
put virtually every newspaper in
the United States out of business
if it were unable to find some ex-
traordinary means of increasing
its revenue. All newspapers
have been forced to advance
their advertising rates. Some
in addition have increased
the subscription price. Those that
have not done this have figured
that advertising. in relation to
service rendered by the newspaper
is cheaper than ever before. For
with the growth of newspaper
circulation the advertiser in the
Star. for instance, is getting more
readers for every dollar he spends
than ever in his whole business
history. A general increasing
of rates throughout the country
was therefore normally due. It
has only been somewhat hastened
by the crisis in white paper.
Ordinarily newspapers do not
consider their business arrange
ments of any particular interest
to the public, which 10 concerned
solely with service. But the
widespread acuteness of the pres.
ent situation, which according to
the American Publishers Assoc
citation, is likely to put perhaps
1000 newspapers out of business,
gives the matter a public aspect
and is sufficient warrant for its
discussion"

Gold Brick Game
Comes to Life in
Lahaina Episode

That old gold-hrick game, which has
been featured in song and story on
Broadway, has come to life once more,
and this time a Japanese fisherman
has turned the gold brick into a mint
but the mint proved to be failure,
and once more the villain in the play
was thwarted in his deeply laid plans.
It is far cry from Broadway TO
Lahaina. and the gold brickists OF
Maui are few and far between so the
knight of the sampan decided 10 try
the old game in q new field. The
Japanese was heavily laden with
debts, being somewhat in arrears To
the butcher, the baker and likewise
TO the candlestIck maker. and decided
that he must make enc dash for for
trne.
One bright afternoon while. making
preparations to dash after the elusive
kawakawa he sBied q brick on the
shores of Lahaina And after much
polishing decided that he had some
virgin metal which would enrich him
and erase his debts. He hurried to a
japanese matchmaker who told the
fisherman that all that glitters is not
gold, and the fishermen thereupon de-
cided to jump in the lake.
After finding out that the brick was
brass, the japanese let it be known
that he had found block of gold, and
as soon as 1t was made into coin he
would pay the butcher. baker, etc. A
story was published that the brick had
been judged as worth $4,000 by a
Lahaina bank, and all was well with
the Japanese He was wined and dined
and the skies had golden hue. until
some, one spilled the beans, and in.
stead Of being worth $4,000 the Japa-
hese secured about $3.50 for his find.
and the butcher. maker and candle
stick maker are hot ON his trail
