New York AP reports that in 1944 daily papers with 100000+ circulation averaged 23 pages, three fewer than 1943, while Sunday issues averaged 68 pages. The decline reflects government paper restrictions amid a total North American newsprint output of about 21 million tons, with the U.S. producing 17.18 million tons. Canada and Newfoundland exports shifted downward as imports declined.
