PAPER MAKING.
Spqaking yesterday morning at a meeting of the National Efficiency 'Board. Mr. Frostick,/ Commissioner, said that there was a splendid opening for the paper making industry on the West Coast. Newspaper had risen 300 per cent since the war, and there were millions of cords' of timber going to waste. He was speaking with a knowledge of the subject, and be would say that if paper making industry were established here newspaper proprietors would be able to buy all teir paper at prices comparable to tose obtaining under the more favourable conditions' existing before the war, give good wages to the employees and good profit to those who put their money into the industry. In New Zealand 50 tons were used per day.
