Lack of Newsprint
Threatens World
Communications
Newspapers (-an Become
Extinct In India In Less
Thun One Year
A new kind of hunger is spread
ing across three corners of the
world threatening to rob man of
mental food - a growing famine
of newsprint, one of the most vi
tal requirements for the tree now
of information.
J C. Jain, general manager of
the “Tin.es of India", said re
cently that if the present shortage
of newsprint and present level of
prices should continue, most of
the newspapers in India would
be extinct within a year.
Yet today, the country's grow
ing cultural needs call for more
not less newsprint. A largely un
lettered nation of 350 million, In
dia is engaged on a national cam
paign to abolish illiteracy, assist
ed by UNESCO. New technical
and professional classes are seek
ing essential information. The
humble millions are discussing
new social and political problems
All this social ferment is pro
ducing a reading hunger which
must be satisfied if India is to
progress and the country’s thirst
for knowledge is seen in the ris
ing newsprint consumption. On
ly five years ago, India used 30,
000 tons annually, while today shi
is consuming double that It has
been estimated that she will need
100,000 tons in the near future
India's position is typical of
that in many other countries
which are striving to reduce till
burden of illiteracy. While theii
people are being taught to read,
newspapers are cutting pages, or
going under.
A statement on newsprint is
sued recently by UNESCO (the
United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organiza
tion) pointed out that: “The short
age of paper and the excessive
cost of this essential raw material
also threatens school textbooks
and even exercise books . . .If
tile number of people able to
read goes up by only 5 per cent,
it will be impossible to provide
them with books, newspapers and
other publications. A French dele
gate at the Conference reported:

The situation is not much
brighter in Western Europe
French publishers expect that on

next year. At least 149 publica

within the last two years. In Bri

in the first quarter when he went
through the middle of the line
from two yards out to give the
Rams enough points to win the

the extra point on a placement.
The two teams then battled on ]
