TEA & TOBACCO
CONTROL IN AUSTRALIA.' REDUCTIONS IN THE SIZE OF NEWSPAPERS. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.5 p.m.) MELBOURNE, This Day. The Commonwealth Government will requisition all tea held by merchants and traders and there will be a reduction of twenty per cent in supplies of tobacco and cigarettes to retailers this month. These announcements were made by the Minister of Customs, Mr Keane, who said that because of interruptions to normal channels of supply, delays had occurred in obtaining supplies. Mi- Keane told newspaper proprietors that they must reduce the size of their papers to “the irreducible minimum.” He added: “Our demands for war equipment are so great there there is little propect of cargo priorities being guaranteed for anything but war production goods. Prospects of shipping space for newsprint are now exceedingly slender.”
