NEWSPRINT INDUSTRY
POSSIBILITIES IN DOMINION. INVESTIGATION PROCEEDING. WELLINGTON, Sept. 13. The question whether newsprint can bo produced in New Zealand in open competition witli tho imported product is still engaging attention, states Mr E. Phillips Turner, Director of Forestry, in tho annual report of the State Forest Service, presented to Parliament. In addition to laboratory and mill studies in North America the service investigated the financial and economic aspects of the newsprint industry, in both America and Europe, and has also been engaged upon a survey of tho commercial possibilities
of establishing the industry in the Dominion. Many of the field examinations have already been made, and it is hoped before the end of the year to present a report on the various commercial aspects of pulp and ;paper manufacture. Considerable interest is now being evinced by the commercial community in this matter, and already syndicates have been formed or are in the course of formation to exploit the industry. In the interests of the public generally it must be mentioned that the manufacture of pulp and paper is so highly technical in character and involves such a largo initial capital investment that the utmost care should be exercised in its establishment to ensure successful results.
