Speaking at Westport recently, Mr J. A. Frostick, the National Efficiency Uourcl. Commissioner, said that thero was a splendid opening for the papermaking industry on tho West Coast. News paper had risen 300 per cent, since tho wur, and there were millions of cords of timber going to waste. He was speaking with a knowledge of the subject, and he would say that if the papennaking industry were established thero, newspaper proprietors would bo able to buy all tho paper they required at prices comparable to those obtaining under the moro favoura"blo conditions existing before tho war. There would bo good wages for the employees, and a good profit to those who put their monev into tho industry. In New Zealand "GOtons of newspaper were used per day.
