Premier Drury and Mr. Hartley
Dewart seetn to have one failing in coin-'
mon, in that neither are backward in
supplying the press with statements,
and sometimes these se -act. Not tong
ago the statement was ntade on behalf
of the U. F, 0. that it could carry a
seat in Toronto. Now Mr, Dewart
comes along with a proposition for Mr,
Drury to test, the truth of this very
statement, which was probably made
with no thought that an opportunity
would eventuate for a contest of this
kind for some years. it remains to be
seen, however, whether ,it will take
place, even now.

There are professional men, business'

FOR FLETCHER'S
CASTQ 1A
THE NEWSPRINT SITUATION
IN CANADA
i1 is well for the reading pubi,d of
Canada to understand the situation is
regard to the difficulty that has arisen
concerning the exportation of news-
print into the United States. The mills
of this country are producing 2775
tons of newsprint every clay. The tim-
ber limits and waterposvers used in this
production belong for the most part
to the people of Canada, and are leas-
ed at very low rates to the newsprint
manufacturers, The shortage of news-
print in the United States has led the
newspapers of that country to offer the
highest prices for the product, in order
to ensure an adequate supply. The con-
sequent high prices in the United States.
led some of the manufacturers to ex-
port the whole oftheir product, regard-
less of the claims of Canadian newspap-
ers, in order to ,get a higher pace than
that fixed by the paper controller in
Canada, They were asked to, retain 15%
of the output in Canada in order to sup-
ply the Canadian trade.
All but two of the companies obeyed
the order, Price Brothers, and the Fort
Frances Company, There is an embar-
go on the export of newsprint by Price
Brothers because they cut off the sup-
ply to the Canadian papers. They have
been offered a license to export 35% of •
their product, but have refused to ac-
cept a license for less than tow'.
The Fort Frances 'Company hes fin-
ally and absolutely refused to obey the
orders of the paper controller, and he
preparation for this action had shipped
every ton of newsprint to the United
States, and had also caused the switch
to be horn up leading to the tracks of
the Canadian National Railway. The
controller seized the mills, but this. dra-
stic action did not secure the needed
paper.
The newspapers of the United States
consume 20,000 tons per million of the
population. In Canada the consumptloa
is only 14,000 tons per million, Thus
It will be seen that Canadian newspap-
ers are not wasteful.
If these paper companies were all-
owed to export the whole of thelll pro-
duct it w.outd cause a large number of
the Canadian papers to suspend pelili-
cation, and would greatly enhance the
cost of those able to continue, while the
general public would suffer, for the cast
would have to be passed oe. Already
upwards of one hundred papers in Cris-
ada have ceased publication, and if gev-
ernmental action had not been taken
many more would follow.
It would be clearly an injustice to elle
people of Canada to allow the resources
of this country, its this regard, to be ex -
plotted for the benefit of American new-
spapers, to the detriment of Canadian
hsterestr, One American newspaper is
importing from Canada an amount eq-
ual to 65% of the total consumption of
Canadian newspapers. Also the Sunday
editions of the United States newspap-
ply tise papers of Canada for two days,
errs use as much newsprint as would sap
