news PRINT CRISIS
in ENGLAND GRAVE
Government Cuts Down Publishers Al
lowances by so Per Cent.

{, New York, Jan. N.-On the principle
tnat misery loves company, the suffer-
ins puoiishers in America may draw
considerable comfort from the plight of
tneir brethren in England says Charles
n. Grasty in a disptach to the New York
Times from London. II white paper con-
ditions are bad in the United States,
they are almost impossible on this side.
Up to last November newspapers were
permitted to use ee per cent of the
Quantity currently used by them in 1914
Publishers thought these conditions were
pretty bad, but they were struggling
along, doing the best they could. wheE
the government notified them that their
paper allowance would be cut down to
five-sixths Of the 1916 quantity, which
Is equivalent to about 50 per cent of the
1914 quantity
Recently there has been strong talk of
making a still further cut to 40 per
cent basis as compared with 1914. The
proposed drastic action led today to a
visit In force to the prime minister, when
about forty newspaper proprietors headed
by Lord Burnham, of the Daily Tele-
graph. were received at 10 Downing street.
They made vigorous representations as
to the necessity of newspapers to the
public In war time and the necessity OF
white paper to the newspapers. They
the government that would be accorded
to any other industry.
Even II the government consents to
preserving the present status the news
papers are faced with almost intoleraole
conditions. The government restrictions
on paper and raw materials arise from
the need of shipping tonnage for food
and munitions, and they are aggravated
by the growing scarcity of labor and
other factors that make for high prices.
Leading paper dealers tell me the market
price of paper for customers today Is
$3.50 per ton, but that as a matter Of fact.
a new paper starting would be unable to
obtain news print at any price. ! am
told by newspaper managers that they
cents pound for current supplies, and
that they expect the situation to get
worse before It gets better.
Thanks to the reserve stocks held by
some of the papers. the newspapers have
not yet fully accommodated themselves
to the scarcity Of news print and high
prices. The Times has gone from cents
to cents, and given notice of a probable
further increase to cents. All 1-cent
papers have made drastic cuts in size
and are prepared to carry the condensa-
ton still further. They do not find that
the cut in size has hurt them with their
readers. There has been gossip of the
Daily Mails raising its price to 2 cents,
but 1t is doubtful whether that will be
done in face of the certainty that the
Daily Telegraph and Morning Post will
stay at their old price of . cents When
the war broke out there was a perpen-
dicular drop in advertising revenue.
There has been a gradual recovery al
though conditions are not yet entirely
normal. The advertising outlook Is en-
couragfng. as the shops almost univer-
sally report good trade. London streets
were never so crowded as at present
Visitors from the country and the CONT
nent compete with London housewives in
hunting bargains regardless of the war
time.
