THE PAPER CONTROL ORDER 49

Controller of Broadcasting is told he will not get more than

260 tons ; the Counter-Propaganda Directorate will have only

100 tons ; National War-Front 350 tons and Public Information

300 tons. There is a lot of other matter which, if I had time, I might have presented to the House. All that I want to say to the House is that it is not fair to suggest that the Government is callous. I do not deny that there is probably still enough room for economy, and I am very much obliged to the members who have made various suggestions as to how economy could be effected, and I will certainly convey those suggestions to the proper quarters, so that action may be taken. I hope that the Honourable Members will be satisfied that the Government is taking such steps as it can in the matter.
