...bust came, last week, when Britannia's owners, the Inveresk Pulp & Paper Co., found that the 33 pages of advertising per issue with which the magazine was launched had shrunk to four. Tactful requests that Editor Frankau modify his Lunatic-Fascist policies caused him to apply for an injunction restraining Inveresk Ltd. from interfering with his conduct of their paper. Since the editor had a contract, the only thing to do was buy him off. He held out last week for ?12,000-nearly $60,000-and finally got it. Wherefor the smug airs, the sherry...
...consultant long associated with the Department of Agriculture, to study the possibilities of farmers earning money from their traditional wastes. Dr. Rommel, of course, knew that since 1765 men have known how to prepare paper from corn stalks. But such corn paper has always been more expensive than wood pulp paper. Wallboard may also be made from the stalks. His problem, and he is succeeding in it, has been to get dubious corn paper and wallboard makers to produce on a large scale and thus cheaply, to put harvester-husker-shredder-baler machines to clear farms, to persuade railroads...

...avowed policy of Sir Richard Squires is to bring to Newfoundland both Canadian and U. S. "dollars and cents," by fostering exploitation of the illimitable Labrador forests, whence comes most of the wood pulp for Canadian and U. S. news organs, magazines, books. Ostensibly Sir Richard is perfectly willing that the Labrador forests should be transferred to the Dominion of Canada-for a sufficiently stiff price. But the exceedingly harmonious relations existing between him and the International Paper Co. with headquarters in Manhattan suggest that Sir Richard thinks a stiffer price can be got from Wall Street. The blatant nonsense...
...bringer-forth of the new Goddess is Novelist Gilbert Frankau. He is a militant chappie, who when lecturing to U. S. women's clubs (TIME, May 31, 1926) often alluded to his gallant War record. Today, as Editor of Britannia, he has the potent backing of Inveresk Pulp & Paper Ltd., a shrewd firm which sells its product to the public direct, by the stratagem of owning the London Daily Chronicle and such famed magazines as the Tatler, Bystander, Graphic, Sphere?and now Britannia...
