NEWSPRINT SHORTAGE.
COUNTRY PAPERS HIT. Mr Cortland Smith, president of the j American Pres6 Association, has . requested the Senate Committee which is investigating the newsprint shortage to vote £50,000 to conduit experiments towards the discovery of a suitable substitute for wood pulp. "T believe," he said, "it is the duty of Congress to take drastic action of some sort. "The country Press is fighting with its back to the wall, and unless relief is given soon it is a virtual certainty that many papers will have to discontinue. "Less than half tfte country Press will be able to survive unless there is a change in the situation." Mr. F. B. Moses, owner of the "Michigan Chronicle," told the Committee that half of the 31 dnily newspapers in that State must suspend publication on October Ist, and the balance on January Ist unless relief is afforded from the present price of 14? cents (nearly 7id) a pound.
