■ government of the United States, which is itself a large consumer of paper. The commission has reason to believe that this situation will be still more aggravated and serious in the ensuing months. “It seems probable that with the demand for news print paper increasing and the supply remaining constant ’ or possibly diminishing there will be ' a repetition of the panic market of last year and the exaction of prices that are out of measure with the cost of production. The consequences to thousands of smaller newspapers and many of the larger ones through . them to the reading public, will be most serious. "By reason of this condition and

because of the vital interest to the public of an efficient dissemination of . news in this crisis, the commission recommends as a war emergency measure that congress by appropriate legislation provide: "That all mills producing and all agencies distributing print paper and mechanical and chemical pulp in the United States be operated on government account; that these products be pooled in the hands of a government agency and equitably distributed at a price based upon cost of production and distribution, plus a fair prolit her ton.” o Harn paint will be higher.
