American affairs and now that
newspaper space is so severely re-
stricted the budget of American
news is even less.
Your relative or friend serving
in Britain, accordingly, will be in
terested in the newspaper clippings
you send him regardless of the time
which lapses between their publlca-
ton and delivery to him. The
chances of his having read the
hometown news are inconsiderable
because the newspaper gotten out
for the American forces in Britain
also suffers from restricted news
space
Small in size as the British news
papers are nowadays, they are better
appreciated by their readers than in
pre-war times when the proprietors
of the popular dailies were offering
insurance policies, sets of Dickens
and other inducements to pros
pective readers.
Aside from the intrinsic impor-
tance of the contents of wartime
newspapers the difficulty of obtain
ing newspaper makes the reader
appreciate one Since most of Brit
aims newsprlnt must be hauled a
long distance by sea in vigorously
rationed shipping space 1T has been
necessary to reduce by 30 per cent
the amount of newsprint available
for British publications.
The publishers have worked out
a voluntary rationing scheme which
has enabled each of the publications
to continue to serve its readers in
the manner deemed most advanta-
geous by the proprietor and with
fairness to all other publications.
The newspapers which cherish most
the magnitude OF their circulation
have chosen to reduce the size of
their issues in order to keep on dis
tributing the same number of copies.
Thus the London Daily Express,
whose circulation of over $500, 900 is
said to be the largest in the world;
the London Daily Herald, the London
Daily Mail and the London News
Chronicle-all of which have
enormous cireulations-print only
four pages daily.
The London Times, LONDON Daily
Telegraph and Manchester Guar
dian prefer to print fewer copies
and sell them at higher prices in
order to offer a larger budget of
news and comment in each issue.
The Times has raised its price to
cents a copy tthe large circulat ton
dailles charge 2 cents a copy and

Army bomber crashed in the middle

seven of the eight-man crew were

lost his life.
Only two of the seven rescued

tive advertiser chance to tell his
story occasionally. The Daily Tele-
graph runs half of it's classified ad-
vertisements In 324 900 copies and
the other half In the second 324.-
900 copies it prints daily. Thus it's
rate per line of classified advertis-
ing is in effect $l80.
The British newspapers pay S116
ton for their newsprint, which is
considerably more than twice what
American newspapers must pay per
ton. Nevertheless most of the
larger British newspapers are max
ing far larger profits than American
newspapers make. That is because
the British reader pays a higher
price Tor his smaller paper, Brit
iSh advertising rates are higher
than those charged by most Amer
ican newspapers and many operat-
ing expenses such as loss on re-
turns, outlays for promotion and
premiums have been eliminated or
reduced. Since most physically fit
newspaper employees under 40 are
now serving with the armed forces
or in some other phase of the war
effort, the pay rolls of many Eng
lish newspapers also have been re-
duced.
The Daily Express earns about
100000 year before taxes. The
other London papers make CORE
spending profits, The Amalga-
mated Press Ltd, a newspaper and
periodical chain, held its annual
meeting during my stay in Lon
don. Profits for the year were re-
ported as 100000 of which
81, ,400, 900 was set aside for taxes.
The stockholders were rewarded
with 8 per cent dividend after
generous provision was made for
reserves.
The government takes 100 per
cent OF all newspaper as well as
other corporate profits over and
above chose earned in 1888.
