LORD NORTHCL|FFE COMES ID AID OF SMALL PUBLISHERS English Newspaper Owner to Turn Over His Plant in
 Canada to Relieve the
 Paper Situation

Washington, April 2S.-An adequate sup ply of newsprint paper for every Ameri- can publisher was predicted by the fed eral tra6e commission today in announc- ing that Lord Northcliffe the English publisher. probably would turn over to tho Amerlean Newspaper Publishers s-- sociation for distribution tHs entire out put of his big Newfoundland mills.
 The addition of the 660O0 tons of paper from the Northcliffe mills will break the print paper market and assure small pub fishers an adequate supply at lower prices.
 Details remain to be worked out. but lit was said there Is little doubt that Lord Northcliffe will let the paper come to the United States and that arrangements will be made with the Canadian gov ernment for lifting its export embargo. At present Canada prohibits paper from leaving that country in ships because of the need of bottoms for transporting sup plies to Europe. Lord Northcliffe's mills consequently are closed.
 Suggestion that the United States be permitted to take the production of Lord Northcliffe's plants was made by the trade commission some weeks ago to the British publisher, who accepted, 1t was said, on condition that the paper go only to small publishers.
 The commission agreed to this. The pa per will be distributed under supervi- sion of the trade commission
 The arrangement with Lord Northcliffe, it is said, probably will make it unneces- sary to carry out a plan for paper dis
  posed by paper manufacturers some months ago
