PAPER-RATIONING

Sul,—The Daily Express has been making a big thing of Lord Beaverbrook's appeal to save every possible scrap of paper. When in London last August I was surprised to see frequent editions of the various evening papers, all containing much the same news, for sale on the streets from I t a.m. onwards. Do not the Express Group ' control one of these so-called " evening papers "? To economise paper, may I suggest a Government decree permitting the production of only one edition of any daily news-sheet, whether of the morning

or evening variety?—I am, Sir, yours truly, SHAKESPEAR COOKE. 7 Elliot Road, Invergordon.
