PAPER SHORTAGE.
Paper stocks are short. Sydney dailies, since July 1 last, print only the uumber ordered by agents, and allow no returns. Weekly papers are reducing the number of pages, and printers everywhere are feeling the effect of the enforced economy. And all this (says an Australian contemporary) in face of; the fact that about twelve months ago the then Minister for Industry, in all his official splendour; visited Liverpool and selected a site—the only really suitable site in the State he could select—for a State Paper Mill. Probably the Ministry of to-day is waiting till the War is over and a mammoth fleet of ships are carrying large, cargoes of paper to these shores before waking up to the fact that a country self-contained is a country difficult to reckon with in peace or war.
