Newsprint Supply and Prices Across Nations in 1940s
Global newsprint consumption surged in 1937 while U S use rose 34 percent from 1939 to 1947 as European output sagged. Domestic U S production grew seven percent from 1946 to 1947 with new mills in Texas and Alabama planned for 1949 or 1950. Prices hit a high in August with a base jump to 101 per ton, though the Commerce Department noted some easing. Supreme Court basing point rulings could keep prices high for large buyers.

World Newsprint Shortage Pressures UN Commission
The United Nations commission on newsprint urges member governments to raise priority of newsprint production to end the world shortage and speed up dissemination. Idle mills should resume operation and trade bodies report narrowing gaps between demand and supply in 1947 with better outlook for 1948. In 1947 world output neared 7.5 million tons, the highest except for 1936 and 1937, while Britain and other European nations face import shortages. The United States remains short but uses more newsprint than ever, with 1947 consumption at 4.753 million tons, up 11 percent from 1946.
