Tokyo, Feb, 20. Fears that commodity shortages in wartime Japan would result in the curtailment of the paper supply lo the point where Diet members week- lug re-election would be unable to eblain sufficient paper for election campaigns, were voiced in the Diet Budget Committee to-day, by Mr. Takao Matsumoto, Minzelto, who pointed out that encl candidate would require 50 reams and 30,000 reams would be required for the 1,000 candidates.
The Minister of Commerce ond Industry, Mr. Ginjiro Fujihara, who is one of Japan's paper kings, sald. I think we can nisure a supply. The elections will not be hompered by the result of paper shortage."
However, he said he was unable to reply until later how the distribu- tion would be accomplished.
