FAIR PLAY — SAN PAP- (onriatna: eats ) ~ There is a fight in progress between Canadian newsprint manufactyrers, backed by United States newspapers and the United States ngress, and Canadian newspaper publishers, and, if the former win, twenty-seven Can- adian newspapers declare they will havé to go out of business on July Ist. Some of our pulp mills are owned by United States newspapers, and the United States gets 85 per cent, of our Canadian paper, leaving only 15 per cent. for our own news- papers, and the United States Con- gress has actually appointed a com- mittee to see that they be. allowed more, under threat, if refused, of retaliating against Canada by shut- ting off our coal supply. The Unit- ed States newspapers are facing a shortage of supply, and they in- sist that Qanada allow her—~all the paper she needs, even if it compels Canadian newspapers to go out of business. One United States paper alone, the Chicago Tribune, uses more white paper im one of its Sunday is- sues than do all the Canadian dailies in one day. The daily papers in Can- ada use only about 250 tons of white paper per day, while the Sunday Tribune uses from 600 to 700 tons in one issne. In_view of the serious- ness of phe situation, it is proposed to pass legislation at Ottawa, pro- viding that at least 15 per cent. of our paper production be retained in Canata for our Canadian newspapers.| We want to live harmoniously with, our big neighbor, but we have certain rights which it would be snicidal to forego. And the thré@t of the Unit- taliation against us in the matter of eoal, etc., is a very foolish one, for such retaliatory legislation would at once be countered by cutting, off the 85 per cent. of paper production which now crosses the line, and in- stead of Canadian newspapers being forced to suspend, it would be United States newspapers which would be compelled to. £0 out of business. We deprecate anything like a tariff war, but we are rather bad people to bluff. We never go out of our way to get into a fight, but we do not usually go very much out of our way to avoid one, especially when we are contend- ing for our rights. ‘& He Wanted I It Rubbed In A wealthy an Says the Argonaut, much against his will, erected a magnificent mansion in Washington to please his wife and daughter.
