HEAVY INCREASE IN COST 01 NEWSPRINT LONDON. The controlled price of newsprint ir tho United Kingdom advanced to £l7, the paper controller announced. Th« new figure represents an increase o! £5 15/-, or 46.6 per cent., since th« outbreak of war. The principal reason for the increast is the difficulty experienced in importing pulp from Norway, Sweden and Finland. The price boost hits hard the London dailies with large circulations, but there has been no indication of an advance in the price of newspapers. Even with the restricted size the Daily Express, which has the largest circulalion in England—more than 2,000,000uses 1400 tons of newsprint a week The increase in newsprint prices represents an additional expenditure for th* Daily Express of more than £BOOO i week. The Evening News reported a cosl Increase of £2300 a week, but said readers could rest assured that every •tep was being taken to ersure thal they would obtain their paper. AIIEM !

Minutes» Peace. ’*
