The fh'tnte Minister said that when
Han, Mt'. Hanna had given up the

to Ills services to the province. It

The resignation of lion. Mr, Hanna
occasions little surprise. Ile was ex-

The Paper -Making Mopolists
(London Free Press)
I'he 'Toronto Saturday Night sap's the
Government has no more right to in-
terfere with the price of newsprint than
with the price of newspapers. It is
strange to tins ,a public journal that
prises as a fearless exponent of injustice
taking tire side of the paper manufac-
turers, who have already helped to
drive hundreds of newspapers in Can-
ada and the United States out of busi-
ness, and who but for Government in-
terference would have .accomplished
yet more ,in this direction in Canada.
111 nobly parts of the country there
exists a positive need for newspapers
which cannot under present condi-
lions be supplied. Meanwhile the
dividends of the paper -staking coun-
paniei mount higher and higher.
Probably no other industry beta's
the relationship to the public that a
pulp and paper industry occupiess.
The pulp wood is taken from tine
virgin forest in the. public dentate,
The paper -makers in some cases have
not paid a dollar for these pulp wood
concessions. Govermetts have gen-
erously eoutributed this public pro-
perty in return Far, the 'establishment
of paper mills. A11 that the country
has gained its return has been the etnt-
ployntent afforded to a relatively few
men. Is it unjust to ask and to de-
mand that the people as a whole
should. share in this disposition of a
part of their national blethright as re-
prescntect in the public forests in
Canada? Is it defensible that huge
monopolies, having obtained these
pulp wood privileges, should use theta
to enrich themselves unduly at the
espetlSti of the peojtie?
So far,as the newspapers are cart•
earned they are a public necessity and
au educative anti patriotic influence.
They must be maintained from the
pockets of the people, Every in.
crease in their cost is so eructs ad-
ditional tax on the public, It is
furthermore ill] interference With the
