» TUESDAY, DECEMBER THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Flay Rationing 'Of Newsprint As Press Threat eRe, Dec. LR , Newspaper Society to e Royal Commission inquifing into the ownership and control of the British press in evidence published that power , exercised by ve governments to ration mewsprint was the greatest single threat to the freedom of the Britih press. , Other points from the evidence of the Society, comprising provin- cial end London suburban proprie- tors, were that it did not consider that in the majority of papers, sen- sationalism of any kind was in- ereasing and that it had never been advised of any action by an advertiser leading to an influence on the treatment of news. The Guild of British. Newspaper editors, another of the seven or- ganizations whose replies to the questionnaire were published yes- terday, said that the "unfair and unnecessary" use of rationing would be a most dangerous form of gov- ernmeént influence which could amount to absolute control. The Guild, composed of editors of provincial papers, added: "Rationing bears especially heav- fly on the provincial papers .. .. and we strongly urge the commis- sion to use its power to help to re- store as soon as possible the basic facility of unretricted newsprint supply." The Guild dismissed suggestions that it might be practicable to put control and ownership of papers partially or wholly in the hands of CUPBOARDS * MODERN DESIGNING SERVICE 23, 1947 government and other outside bod- i es. The Newsprint: Proprietors Assoc- iation, consisting of the London morning, evening and Sunday pe- pers, said they ferupulously avold- ed any activity directed to influence. ing the editorial policy of member papers. Other organizations whose evi- dence was released today were the Society of Editors, the Periodical Trade Press and Weekly Newspeper Proprietors Association, the Scot- tish Daily Newspaper Society and the Scottish Newspaper Proprietors Association.
