Dou flab Dan Starkey the Price of newsprint a n editorial published in the Montreal Gazette of sept. 27, 1918. The Price of newsprint interests More than the maker and the publisher. It May concern the general Public in its bearing on the Price of newspapers and for this reason has evoked a wider interest than was manifested when the Price of the article was steadily declining. Contracts had been made before the War for the Supply of newspaper As Low As 1% and 2 cents per Pound since april 1st last the Price to the publisher has been 2 .s5 cents per Pound and it has now been fixed retroactively As from july 1st last at 3.45 per Pound. The increase in the Case of contracts made previous to 1915 is 70 per cent in the Cost of paper and the Price established by the commissioner May. Upon subsequent revision be further in any event the Day of two cent newsprint is done. The combination of higher wages increased consumption and creasing reserves of pulpwood make that certain. The Public interest in the subject is confined to the bearing of the Cost of newsprint upon the finished product the newspaper. Treating the _ daily journal As an essential commodity of Modem life it will readily be admitted that Cost and Selling Price Are regulated by precisely the same factors As deter mine the Price of bread clothing fuel rent and scores of other things. Bankruptcy must follow fast in the Wake of a policy fixing the Selling Price below the Cost of goods. Neither paper manufacturers nor newspaper pub Lishers Are exempt from this Maxim and so with the ascending items of Cost there must come an increase in. The Price of the product if the business is to survive the i occupation to continue. The working of this immutable Law has already both in the United states and Canada caused the suspension of Many newspapers an in crease in the Sale Price of a stall larger number. Newspapers formerly sold at one cent now Cost the buyer two cents and those that were issued at two cents have been advanced to three Cems. With newsprint at 3.45 cents a Pound the Way of the publisher becomes More difficult. White paper is not by any Means the sole element entering into the Cost of a newspaper wages Tele graphic service rent Narf. A score of other items enter into the matter and All of these have mounted in Cost very greatly in the last four or five years so that Public Are required to pay an additional cent for what still remains when compared with its value the cheapest article pro curable the Public will not refuse hiring knowl Edge of conditions. We Are prepared to accept the Price of newsprint fixed by commissioner Pringle As fair and reasonable having regard to the Cost of production. He has shown patience in arriving at a conclusion investigating thoroughly the Cost of manufacture in or Der to determine a carrying no un1 due profit. What publishers and pub Lic May insist upon is that there be no combination of paper makers in restraint of Trade either by execs is re Rise in Price or reduction of output and there is no reason to believe that either of these evils is practice. It May also be required that the Domestic Price of newsprint shall be As Low is the Export Price. Of the total prod action in can Ada no less than 88 per cent is exported chiefly to the United states and the Trade has an almost unlimited Market assured by reason of Canada s Prepend rating Supply of pulpwood. The american Price can be determined by regulation Only in that country but the Canadian Gor emment or the commissioner can order that foreign publishers shall not obtain their news print below the Price to Canadian pub Lishers any other course will cause in Stant and persistent protest. Along thie whole line of work the labourer is worthy of his hire from the Roodman who fells the tree the railways trans porting it to Mill the manufacturer who converts it into paper to the pub Lisher who produces the newspaper and there is but one limitation prop Erly to be imposed namely that the profits arising from the intermediate and ultimate process shall not be unduly excessive. The Contention that the Price of newsprint should be kept Low. In the interest of the Public is not convincing. It has even been urged that the government should Bonus the Indus try or produce a Supply of cheap news print in a commandeered Mill for the Benefit of publishers and a Deal of rhetorical rot has been written about the supreme importance of keeping the Price of newspapers within the Means of the masses. The the news paper needs no preach ment it has Long been the mental pabulum of ail " sorts and conditions of men and has become so essential to All of whatever degree that it can no More be dispensed with than physical food and raiment and the individual who measures his intelligence information and Patriot ism at. The Price of one cent a Day is not destined to shape to any noticeable degree the affairs of a country.
