that is to say, strikes, riots, bread
lines, and industrial chaos. 1t means
. fi~?ncial crisis with mercantile fall
ures and general disaster-a period OF
recovery from which would take years
to come. 1t is wrong, because tn
world, generally speaking, with cer
tain exceptions, is short OF commodl-
ties and needs the stimulus of high
prices to produce. The old III.
prices would simply acccltuate buy

ances, etc, it is probable that the net
profit left was not far from per
cent" 1t is therefore plain that any
reduction more than 7 per cent would
leave the industry doing business at a
loss.
Now, as to supply: The mills were
like the farmer who didn't shingle his
house when it was fair weather be-
cause he didn't need to, and when 1t
3tcrmed he couldn't. Before the war
fine paper mills were not built be-
cause the industry wasn't protltaoie'
During the war materials could not De
obtained. Now they are so high that
nobody dares to build. Building costs
are three times those before the war
With a 7 per cent yield on the pre-
war investment, the mills would only
have a little more than . per cent OF
capital required to reproduce the MILL
today. Mills have not been built
What slight increase there may hav'
been, has come about through inprov
ing existing plants. The United State
has little more mill capacity on I'm
papers than in 1914.
