DISTRIBUTING PRINT PAPER

One Of the recommendations of the
senatorial committee that investigated
the print paper shortage. was that the
government board be appointed to su-
pervise manufacture and distribution
of print paper, in case government ef-
forts to maintain a reasonable price
should fail.
1t is unfortunate when the govern
ment has to interfere with such mat
ters But conditions. have arisen in a
number of Industries during and since
the war where only government inter-
ference could straighten out an intol-
cradle situation. s
It is unfair that many newspapers
should be forced out of existence while
great metropolitan sheets run enormous
editions, which could be reduced il they
would hold down advertising by in
creasing the price for the same. and IL
they would omit unnecessary features.
It looks as II, the paper situation might
be one Of the cases where only the
strong hand Of the government can see
that Justice is done to all interests
