The report says the Federal trade commission’s findings ‘“show beyond question the print paper industry, in jts greed for excessive profits, had imposed an unjust burden on the American press, which faces serious disaster if relief cannot speedily be had from oppressive prices exacted for print paper.” It adds that the commission exhausted every resource for the publishers, but has been able to get only small relief owing ‘“to the defiant attitude of the principal Al bution of print paper and mechan- ical and chemical pulp in the United States.
