NEWSPRINT PAPER
FAMINE NEAR ENI>
—
WASHINGTON, D. C„ May 14.—
An adequate supply of newsprint
paper for every American publisher
was predicted by the federal trade j
commission today in announcing that!
Lord Northclifl'e, the noted English j
publisher, probably would turn over
to the American Newspaper Publish-)
(rs' association for distribution the
entire output of the big New Found
land mills. The addition of the Hfi.
C00 tons of paper produced annually
by the Northclifl'e mills, it was said,
will break the print paper market and
assure small publishers an adequate
supply at lower prices. Suggestions
that the United States be permitted to
take tile production of the North
elifto plants were made by the trade
commission some weeks ago to the
British publisher, who accepted, it
was said, on condition that the paper
will be distributed by the publishers’
association under supervision of the
trade commission.
