PAPER-RATIONING
Sia,—Referring to the comments of " Janus " on the paper situation, I have before me a copy of Statutory Rules and Orders No. 926, 194,—The Motor Vehicles (Third Party Risks) Regulations, This Order cancels the corresponding Regulations of 1933 and a small set of amending Regulations. I have compared the new Regulations with the old, and the only differences are in the number- ing of paragraphs, Paragraph zsa having become Paragraph 16, with a consequent amendment to every succeeding paragraph, and in the transformation of the Minister of Transport into the Minister of War Transport.
These new Regulations contain 12 pages of type each measuring 91 inches by 6 inches ; hieroglyphics on the back indicate that 12,500 copies have been printed, with a resultant consumption of 75,000 sheets of paper of the same size ; time and labour have been lost in proofing and printing, and finally those whose work would be affected by any amendments must now read the new Order in search for alterations that are not there. If any useful purpose has been served it escapes me.—Yours faithfully, D. W. H. Kendal.
