MILLS FOR THE SUPPLY OF CANADIAN NEWSPAPERS ABOUT THE TIME THAT THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION WAS CONSIDERING THE SAME SUBJECT IN THE UNITED STATES, NAMELY AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR.THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION AND THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT HAVE NOT PROCEEDED TO FIX ANY PRICE IN THE UNITED STATES, AND I DO NOT FEEL THAT IT WOULD BE PRACTICAL TO ASK THE DOMINION GOVERNMENT TO COMPEL ITS MANUFACTURERS TO SELL THEIR PRODUCT AT A FIXED PRICE IN THIS COUNTRY WHILE THE UNITED STATES PAPER MAKERS WERE FREE TO OBTAIN OPEN MARKET PRICES.AS A MAKER OF PAPER AND A LARGE CONSUMER I AM FRANKLY SURPRISED AT THE LOW PRICES WHICH ARE RULING IN THIS COUNTRY. BRITISH NEWSPAPERS ARE PAYING 8, 9 AND 10 CENTS PER POUND.AS TO PRICE-FIXING THE ROYAL COMMISSION ON PAPER, WHICH HAS CONTROLLED ALL PAPER SUPPLIES IN BRITAIN FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS, ONLY FIXES PRICES FOR A MONTH AT A TIME, BECAUSE ALL COSTS FLUCTUATE SO RAPIDLY.CORDIALLY & SINCERELY YOURSNORTHCLIFFETHE HON.
