Newsprint Prices
Maintained Despite
War Crisis
conodion Mills Take Up
Slack as Oversees
Shipments Drop

6y the Associated PreSS.
Cranston williams, general man
ager, American Newspaper PUBLISH
ers' Association, said yesterday
leading sellers Of newsprint have
maintained previously announced
prices for the second quarter, de-
pite decreasing shipments from
Scandinavian countries, caused by
latest war conditions.
One leading producer, Great
Northern Paper Co., recently with
drew a $1-a-ton price increase for
the second quarter, leaving its price
unchanged.
Canadian Mills have been taking
up the slack as shipments from
overseas have fallen off," Mr.. Will
liams said, land still have more than
ample capacity for United States
newsprint consumption.
I'VE are advising our members not
to create an artificial shortage by
boarding"
In 1899 about 9 per cent of news
print consumed in the United States
came from overseas. Imports from
overseas Especially Baltic nations)
have decreased at fast rate since
last October, and in the first two
months of 1910 slumped to 1885
tons, compared with 1929 tons for
the first two months of 1899.
The situation in the wood pulp
field is somewhat different. In
1889 the United States imported
from Finland, Germany, Norway
and Sweden 37.8 per cent of total
United States consumption of un-
bleached sulphite, from which news
print is made.
However. Canadian mills were
said to have adequate capacity for
supplying all United States needs
of this pulp as well as other varie-
ties.
OF other leading kinds of pulp,
overseas shipments accounted for
the following ratio of total United
States consumption in 1899: Bleach
ed sulphite (used for rayon and high
grade papers,, 1875 per cent:
bleached sulphate tused for file
folders and bleached white paper
lis per cent; unbleached sulphate
FUSED for wrapping and container
paper, 1873 per cent.
Thus, Mr.. Williams pointed out,
unused Canadian capacity SEEM
ingly would be more than able to
supply United States needs.
The remaining question, he said,
was whether Canada, by supplying
other foreign markets deprived of
Scandinavian shipments, would be
unable to meet United States re-
quirements. Because of the high
cost, danger and war shortage Of
Canadian shipping. he said, he
thought most of it would reach the
United States by rail, and he could
see no events which might interrupt
United States-Canadian rail trafflc.
Union Bag & Paper Co.. which
does not produce newsprint, but
specializes in Kraft c'strong" or
sulphate pulp products), withdrew
all paper price quotations yesterday,
and some other Kraft producers
were said to have followed suit.
Alexander Calder, president, told
stockholders at their annual meet
ing he anticipated substantial in.
creases in the price of Scandinavian
pulp and greater shortage of pulp
than there was during the World
War"

 Officials Also There
BY REYNOLDS PACKARD United Press Stan Correspondent

Rome, Oct 4-(UP)-Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussoni met in the Brenner Pass today to speed up Axis warfare against the British empire and 10 sider the position of the United States in world af- fairs Virginia Gayda wrote in the authoritative Gior- nale D'Italia
 Apparently referring to the United States, Gayda gave assurance that the Brenner meeting was not directed against any country now outside the Eu- ropean conflict.
 "The third meeting of this year between the Fuehrer and II Duce is occurring at the Brenner with the obvious purpose of discussing the military and political of this war; which has entered it's fu concentrated phase against the British empire sys- tenn" Gayda wrote.
 NO PLOT AGAINST OUTSIDE NATIONS
 "It must be said above all that the meeting does not imply any plot against the peace and tranquility of countries not participating in the and the new point fixed by the two chiefs is bound to have profound representations on the of the and the political and economic evolution of the continents on which the war is being felt.
 Italy and Germany are not thinking Of hxing date for the end of the war but only conditions nrss fsary for its victorious end The Axis Powers only think of the war, which must continue relentless and pressing than ever"
 Nazi Field Marshal Present
 Observers here believed that the Brenner meeting given added significance by the presence of General Field Marshal Wilhelm Keite chief of the supreme command of the German armed forces and Joachim Won Rbbentrop the Italian and German for eign ministers; Dino Aeri Italian ambassador to Ger many Hans Von Mackensen German ambassador to Rome, and foreign office officials of both countries.
 It announced here that Ciano and RibbentTop had held separate conference.

LEWIS HOLDS OUT
 FOR BETTER TERMS
CIO Head Said to Be With= holding Roosevelt Sup-
 port at Present

Washington. Oct. 4 - (UP0 - President John L. Lewis of the Congress of Industrial Organizations was reported today to be holding out for better terms before pledging his support to the Roosevelt Wallace ticket.
 There were reports also of an early conference between Lewis and Republican presidential candidate Wendell L. Willkie. Last night they were in the same hotel in Pittsburgh where Willkie delivered a major ad- dress and where Lewis is attending a conference of steel workers.
 There was no confirmation of a Willkie-Lewis get-together. When asked if he planned to see Willkie, Lewis said he was mot going to discuss politics today"
 Whichever way he goes = if he goes-Lewis will have to eat some language. He told the United Mine Workers convention at Columbus. O.. last winter that MT. Roosevelt would meet "ignominious defeat" if he sought a third term. Soon after- ward Lewis paid his respects to the Republican party: Tt does not pre- tend to serve anyone but the finan- cial interests who control 1t.
 One of the issues dividing the ad- ministration and Lewis is under stood to have been the distribution of government contracts. The ques- ton seems now to have been re- solved to the satisfaction of labol by joint action of Attorney Genera Robert II. Jackson and the Nation ai Defense Commission.
 Sidney Hiliman, commissioner member, Q vice president of GIG and president of the Amaleamatet Clothing Workers, announced Octo' Der on behalf of the commission that no national defense contracts would be awarded to firms violatinf federal labor laws.

 London. October 1. - (UP) - King George narrowly escaped a German whistle bomb" to day as Nazi air raiders diyed through cloudy skies in steady attacks on many Brit ish objectives, including London.
 Five districts of the London area were bombed during daylight air raid alarm that lasted for hours and one German raider machine gunned street in southeast area of the capital where shoppers were forced to hurl themselves to the ground to escape flying bullets.
 Low cloud layers made it difficult for the anti-aircraft guns to spot the raiders but heavy barrage was thrown up repeatedly as the Nazi planes dove through the clouds and seemed to release explosives at random.
 Not minute before the King arr rived at hall in central London a great bomb hurled from the clouds and sent hundreds sclrrying to shelters.
 Almost before the. sound of the bomb had died out the King arrived on schedule and entered the build- ing. x gsF IT.

 The King was making an inyesti- gation of the shelter situation in central London, accompanied by Admiral Sir Edward Evans. the newly appointed shelter dictator 2 when the bomb fell near the build- ing they were about to enter. !, The explosion came as anti air craft guns resumed a heavy barrage after a comparative lull of an hour or longer. The crack of guns re- minded strolling Londoners and of flee workers that the air alarm sounded several hours ago was still on.

Japan Fears U. s. May Increase Aid To Britain
Jap Foreign Office Spokesman Issues Warning; News papers Claim Canada Is Fostering Anti=
 Japanese Sentiment

Tokyo, Oct, 4-UP)-Takichiro Surna, Japanese foreign office spokesman, today warned of the possible danger that the United States would double its war aid to Great Britain.
 Suma, in a radio address concern ing the new Berlin-R Rome Tokyo military alliance indicated that this possibility and also the possibility that the United States might open ly enter the war at the side of Great Britain were important factors in negotiation of the pact.
 He said, however, that the prime purpose of the alliance was to unite the three powers kl protecting and building their new world order.
 Germany and Italy, he said, "in addition to their superior military and air forces count on the invin- cible Japanese navy to guard the western pacific side of the axis in case another power casts its lot with Britain"
 Newspapers charged that Canada was intensifying anti-Japanese sen- timent and that the government was giving serious consideration to reports If anti-JapaneSe measures proposed by the Vancouver munich pal assembly as result of Japan's inclusion in the Berlin triple pact.
 '"The treaty does not aim at vic- tory in the present European war or at disposing of the Japanese conflict with China but it expresses joint determination Japan, Ger many and Italy to join hands firm ly in building a new order" Suna said.
