LACK OF ONDERSTANDING
CAUSED PAPER SHORTAGE
'4 tni(Jir;TKe Assoelata.. f.rfsi.) T.'"V;'
' WASHINGTON, April .20 Lack of
satisfactory understanding between:' the
publishers and print paper manufacturers
is in part responsible for the present
paper 'shortage, Paul Patterson, one of
the publishers of the Baltimore; Sub, to
day told the senate subcommittee invests
gating the paper situation :v;. VL'
Through this situation, he said, . when
the publishers came to renew tieir paper
contracts this year insufficient .paper to
meet demands waa discovered so that they
entered 1920 with a " shortage ;of paper
on every band. " .'-';-',-" ; .' -' ;.;;
' Eegular manufacturers of print paper,
he said, showed a moderation 1 in the
prices they fixed in the contracts, allow
ing for a reasonableS increase ' due to
changed conditions. ; ,' . !'
.Mr. Patterson said that' while there
would be no increased production this
year production in .1921 would be 30,
000 tons over that for1920.r;
"The present 'shortage, the witness told
the committee, ' resulted from increased
consumption beyond the capacity' of the
paper mills. Saying . that1 increased
prices for paper ; were . necessary about
three -years agOj be asserted that the
producers . failed 'to ak tile publishers
into" their confidence-It that time with the
result that an agitation 1 was started
against increased prices -and for public

. WASHINGTON, April 28 Republican
members of . the . house ways and means
committee today virtually decided td tiu
clude in their soldier, relief legislatiin
program ia plan of pa'u up Insurance,
its value ti increase annually -by' com-j
poundtl interest, ' and on which loaus
ould-b obtained, from apy poBtofllce
1 m ifcii una iuiuuuB,.'M-Hiim urn
mlgrii ' elect ,ny one of tne4 five folow
jiiK pluns included in the Republican
program; A sash bonus of $1.25 a day
for. each day of service ; aid in buying
farm land to be reclaimed by the gov
ernment; aid ia buying eity homes; aid
In their education j or the Insurance.
To" popularize the last four, plans, the.
Republicans .propose .to aflow $1.75' a
dayfwr each day of service,' instead of
Hie $1J!5 cash bonus as Ahe basis c of
computing farm and borne aid, -loans and
the amounts of the financial aid each
Mian might ' receive ia the form of edu
cational training. '-. -; '., ...''. '
The insurance plan, as such was said
by committeemen to be a ''misnomer"
but Uiey declared it was the i'.most attractive','-'-
of any of the five plana. The
average period of service' for world war
veterans was ,400 days, they said,. ex
plaining t hat ( under the, insurance jplan
the average veteran' could 'reeoive paid
up' insurance, policy of $1,857, payable
to bins bi , cash at the end of 20 years
oY immediately to his heirs in eveBt" of
his death. , .lc-'. .' ... ; ' ' ' J ,;
The Joan vahie of the insuranee(;vde
noted. in the legislation i as "adjusted
service certificates," would not accrue
until the end of' the third year the plan
had been in foree, and; at that time, an
e service man, with a record of 400 days
service, would be entitled to a loan" of
$."51. This would be the cash value of
his " certificate "st that time at five per
cent interest ;comrounded annually. ' . .
'; Bimilarly, the veteran of 100 days'
service would be entitled to paid up0
year' endowment insurance of of $464,
with a cash surrender or loan of $137 in
three years f the SOO day veteran to in
surance of .$928,' with a loan value' of
$275 the 300 day veteran to insurance
of $J,392, with a loan value of $413, and
the 500 day veteran to insurance' of
$2,321 with a loan value of $639. C .:
.This plan 'if adopted universally by
the world war veterans, -would' com the
government '- far mors than, the cash
bonus of $1.25 a day, committeemen said.
Kstimating that 390,000 ex-ssrrb-e
persons will be effected by the bill, com
