THE NEWS-PRINT SHORTAGE IN
CANADA
There can be no question that the
newsprint shortage in Canada is seri
ous. According to authoritative in
formation supplied to the Christian
Science Monitor, in Ottawa, many Ca
nadian newspapers and other publi
cations are faced with the possibility
of having to suspend publication. In
deed, already some 30 per cent of
Canadian newspapers have been com
pelled to shut down, .and numerous
others may be obliged to follow suit
' in the near future. The anomaly of
the situation, and that which renders
it particularly irritating to Canadians,
is the fact that Canada, which is eas
ily the largest producer of pulp wood
in the world, cannot obtain supplies
sufficient, or anything like suffi
cient for her own needs. The whole
issue, indeed, is one of the most im
portant of those which at present lie
between Canada and the United
States. For it is, of course, almost
entirely due to the enormous demand
for newsprint in the United States
that the dominion is in her present
position. As Mr. James White, assis
tant chairman of the Canadian com
mission of conservation, pointed out
recently, the publishing business in
the United States, has reached such
huge proportions that it can no long
er be supported by the forests of its
own country. Canada, indeed, today,
is manufacturing nearly two-thirds of
the newsprint used in the United
States, and is supplying pulp wood
and pulp to the amount of an addi
tional 25 per cent.
.now. it there is one thing quite
certain about the newsprint situation
not only in Canada, but, very gener
ally, throughout the world, it is that
it calls for a far-sighted and coura
geous policy. The world’s publishing
business is not likely to decrease. It
much greater proportions that at
present, and every effort should cer
tainly be made to prevent any im
pediment to legitimate ' growth.
Viewed from the broadest standpoint,
the situations presents no very ser
ious difficulties. Both spruce and bal
sam, the two great standbys for
pulp wood are comparatively quick
growing trees, having a tremendous
territorial range, and the vancant
lands of Canada, to say nothing of the
United States, if planted with spruce
and balsam, and kept so planted, are
quite capable within a comparitively
short time, of supplying all the de
mands for pulp wood which could pos
sibly be made.
It comes back once again, there
fore, to the question of afforestation.
Canada, the United States, and every
other country need, more than ever
before, to tackle this great question
of the present time. As Mr. White
well remarked, it effects every man
who buys a newspaper or a periodi
cal, a book for his library or text
books for his children at school. It
touches the pocket of every mer
chant, manufacture, or other business
man who buys advrtising space. It
affects every man who wants to
build, buy, rent, or furnish a house.
The list might be extended al-hrd
The list might indeed be extended al
most indefinitely.
For the moment, of course, Canada
is perfectly justified in taking meas
ures to see that her own- needs are
met, but merely to supply her own
needs, and let the world take the resi
due, is no solution of the matter. To
i quote Mr. White, once again, the only
! proper way to conserve any resource
is to develop it to the point of high
est productivity and with the maxi
mum of efficiency, and to use every
means to maintain productivity at
that pitch.—Christian Science Moni
tor.
ON NEWSPAPER POLICY
The editor of a small towm paper
sometime washes that he were editor
! of a big city daily—so that he could
“print all the news.” His readers
kick because he doesn’t issue what
they call a “live” paper, meaning
| thereby that he declines to dish up
| the harrowing details of divorce
I cases, illegitimate children, of scan
: dalous stories of various sorts. Not
I all of of his readers kick, to be sure
but enough of them do to make him
wonder if he really has any business
in the newspaper game. But once
in a w'hile some little thing happens
that compensates him for all the crit
icism the scandal-loving reader heaps
upon him. Not long ago something
happened in LeRoy which fould have
been good for column after column
of “live stuff.” The Reporter didn’t
print it—not a line. And the other
day we received compensation wrhen
a good mother whose children we
have played with and for whom we
have ahvays had the highest respect,
with tears in her eye thanked us for
omitting the story. The simple thanks
of that mother means more to the
Reporter than all the credit we might
have received by “livening up” the
paper with a sordid story. So wre think
that we will just go one keeping the
old home paper as it has been in the
past—a paper wrhich hopes to play up
the bright and cheerful and good
things of life.—Leroy, Kan., Report
er.

Because he could neither sing nor
play any musical instrument, Ed

yesterday that his wife, Edna B.
Shields, had eloped with a piano play

desertion.
“I am a prizefight manager,” said
Shields. “I can handle fighters as
well as any man, but I can’t sing a
note nor can I play any instrument.
My wife said that her temperament
craved music, so she ran awray with
a piano player.”
