ilewsiulni Demand, Supply In Balance

MONTREAL. Dec. 22 -(CP)- World newsprint demand and sup- ply have come into approximate balance, the Newsprint Association of Canada said today. In a booklet. Newsprint Data: 1962. issued today. the association estimates total supply for 1952 will be within 10,000 tons of apparent requirements. The booklet was based on data covering more than 100 countries with a. combined newsprint consumption exceeding 10;500.000 tons. An increase of roughly 5.300.000 tons in world requirements was foreseen for the 1952-16 period, compared with an increase of 5.- 200.000 tons in the 1925-52 period. Between 1925 and 1952. world newsprint production increased by around 5.200.000 tons in reaching its estimated 1952 level of 10.700.- 000 tons. The growth of the cane- dian newsprint industry alone ac- counted for slightly more than 4.000000 tons of the increase. In that period, Canada increased its proportion of world production from just under 30 per cent in 1925

to an estimated 53.4 per cent in 195.2. iFor the years up to 1975, the

booklet S813 "Canada is again like- ly to play the major part in the expansion of production needed to meet demand."
