" A Spectator's Notebook " on page 672 of your
issue of June 27th it is stated that paper is allocated not in respect of a particular publication but to a publishing house in respect of all the periodicals it produces. I would be glad to learn what is his authority for this statement. We publish seven newspapers, but on all forms sent to us on behalf of the Paper Controller and the Newsprint Supply Co., it is specifically stated that we are not allowed to transfer any weight of paper from one of our papers to another in any circumstances. As our papers form a series with identical purposes, viz., the covering of local and official events, they are from the publishing point of view in one category, but the specific weight used for each paper has to be set forth, not the total weight
