S,,otion. He explained that while
hare . would be no increased produc-
tian This year, production in 1921
-onld be 100000 tons over that for
1920.
The present shortage, the witness
,old the committee resulted from m
..oossd consumption beyond the ca
aacitv Of the paper mills. Saying that
increased prices for paper was neces-
s.ry about three years ago, he asserted
hat he producers failed to take the
nublishers into their confidence at
that time with the result that an agi-
totion was started against increased
nrlees and for public control of the
naper industry. Also the manufactur-
ers he said, failed To expand their
nants due to the lack of understand
inc between them and the publishers.
As a result of this situation, Mr..
Patterson said, when the publishers
came to renew their paper contracts
This year insufficient paper to meet
demands was discovered so that they
entered 1920 with shortage of pa
per nevery hand"
Mr.. Patterson expressed the belief
that the universal practice of cur
taTment in the use of paper" which
he said was being observed by the
newspapers, would result in "a mar
ked effect on the market by fall"
But nothing effective can be accom-
pshed unless there is definite cur
tailment in the amount of advertise
ments," he said, "and the only way
that can be done is to increase ad-
yertising rates-not for the purpose
Of increasing revenues but to hold
down the amount of advertising"
