NEWSPRINT SHORTAGE
DISCUSSED AT SESSION
M The Associated Press.
NEW UnDI arFr


NEW YORK, April 15.-Prodgial
methods In American forests and
paper mills have brought the indust-
tries face to face with an alarming
paper shortage which can be remedied
by adoption of a comprehensive policy
of forest protection, George w. Sisson,
Jr., president OF the American Paper
and Pulp Association declared today.
He said a program of legislation
calculated to effect this result would
be brought before the convention for
action at a later session. He charged
that governmental control OF inter
ference of industry in general was m
of the prime causes of "tre general
lowering OF efficiency in manpower."
and urged that only such governmental
restrictions be placed on business as
are necessary to protect the public.
III u government and civil scrv-
ice and commissions would not SO
often misinterprct their function as
TO become irritant rather than help
full. our entire business structure
would be more stable and efficient"
he said.
A letter TO the association from T..
I. Meredith, secretary of the depart
ment of agriculture, said the paper
and pulp situation lis the most crit
ical In the history OF the United
States"
I'VE are dependent on other coun-
tries for the equivalent of t~wo-thirds
of the pulp. wood pulp or news print
which goes into American newspa-
pers." Mr.. Meredith said. "A far
greater degree of independence in
newsprint manufacture al be ac-
complished by development of the in
dustry in the Pacific northwest and
in Alaska, and the large growing
scale of timber in New England and
the lake states.
"A fundamental question is the
permanent supply of raw materials
through the practice of forestry In
east and west"
