The present shortage, the witness
told the committee resulted from in
creased consumption beyond the ca
pacity of the paper mills. Saying that
increased prices for paper was neces
sary about three years ago, he asserted
that he producers failed to take the
publishers into their confidence at
that time with the result that an agi
tation was started against increased
prices and for public control of the
paper industry. Also the manufactur
ers, he said, failed w expand their
plants due to the lack of understand
ing between them and the publishers.
As a result of this situation, Mr.
Patterson said, when the publishers
came to renew their paper contracts
this year insufficient paper to meet
demands was discovered so that they
entered 1920 with a "shortage of pa
per 0 nevery hand."
Mr. Patterson expressed the belief
that the "universal practice of cur-.
tsilment in the use of paper" which
he said was being observed by
tne
newspapers, would result in " a mar
ked effect on the market by fall.".
But nothing effective can be accom
plished unless there is a definite cur
tailment in the amount of advertise
ments," he said, "and the only way
that can be done is to Increase ad
vertising rates not for the purpose
of increasing revenues but to hold
down the amount pf advertising."

Nation Split For Defense
Mexico City, Apr. 29: (By The Assocated Press) General
Miguel Samaniego leading lieutenant of General P. Elias Calles,
commander of the anti-government forces in northern Mexico has
abandoned the Sonora revolutionists and proffered his services
to the Carranza government according to an official statement
issued last night by General Juan Barragan, chief of the presiden

. (The statement quotes a dispatch from General Pablo Quir
ogo, hief of operations in Chihuahua stating the emissaries had
been sent to him by General Sanamiego, who is commanding
Sonora forces defending Pulpito Pass, the vital gateway from
phihuahua, to Sonora.
Announcement is made by the war

Washington, April 29. The Car

the country nor Inaugurated any of
the reforms which he advocated be

Praising General Obregon, one ot
the leaders ln the new revolution in
Mexico, the witness predicted success
for him. The revolution, he said, was
due to "the state of unrest developed
in Mexico by the failure of the .Car
ranza government to function in any
way."
Carranza was furnished arms and
munitions by the United States In 1914
with the direct cognisance of the Am

said, "and In such quantity as to as

Mr. Hopkins said.
