PAPER SHORTAGE.
EFFECT OF EMBARGO. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Ottawa, Jan. 21. Newspapers in the western provinces of Canada are undergoing a severe famine of printing paper. Newspapers in some cities have suspended publication and in other cities they have joined in issuing single condensed editions. The Canadian Government ordered the large paper mills belonging to the Fort Francis Company, Western Ontario, to divert to these cities a large proportion of its output, which was intended for shipment to the United States. The Fort Francis Company refused to do this on the ground that the Government was not fulfilling its promises to supply the company's United Stat«3' customers from the Eastern Canadian mills. The Government thereupon declared an embargo on all Fort Francis printing paper being shipped to the United States. This had the expected result of a 40 per cent, diminution of paper supplies to western United States news-papers.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
