T is with more than a little reluctance that we make the announcement that, as from our issue of May 2nd— next week, that is—the price of " FLIGHT " will be advanced to six- pence. As our readers will appreciate, we have been compelled to take this step of advancing our price for two reasons, one because of the tremendous advances in the cost of paper; the other, and the most im- portant, by the urgent necessity of The Price econOmy in its use imposed by the "FLIGHT." growing shortage of paper-making materials. In taking this step we are fully aware that we are likely to lose a certain pro- portion of our readers until better times allow of return to more normal prices, though we are assured, at the same time, that the temporary falling-off in the number of our readers is not likely to be either great or serious so far as the influence of this journal is concerned. The decision to make such a relatively large advance in price has not been taken without the fullest con- sideration, and the closest examination of all the conditions as they exist at the moment, nor has it been taken willingly. We feel that we are under an obligation to regard the interests of those who have been consistent in their support of " FLIGHT "since its early days, and even to place them before our own. Therefore, we have endeavoured to carry on without either reducing the quantity or the quality of the contents of the journal or to ask our readers to pay more for it, in the hope of an early return to better conditions, with a consequent easing of markets. But so far from there being any improvement, matters have become steadily worse, prices have become more inflated every day, with no prospect of anything but still further advances, and now it is nothing but the simple truth to say that newspapers all over the country are faced with a very serious crisis in paper supplies. All these things being so, it is inevitable that not only " FLIGHT " but others must at last adopt this, the only possible course, which we have elected to take. It will help us and assist to spread the interest in aviation if our readers will arrange to share their copies of " FLIGHT," under the new arrangement, with one or more of their friends. As we have said, the main object of the increase in price is to keep IMPORTANT NOTICE. Commencing with the issue of next week (May 2nd), the price of "FLIGHT" will be sixpence per week. This action on the part of the publishers is a necessity brought about by the restrictions placed upon the importation and manufacture of paper by the Government. We would once again urge the imperative necessity of our readers ordering "FLIGHT" to be reserved for them with their regular newsagent, or direct from the PubUshers, 36, Great Queen Street, Kingsway, W.C. 2, to ensure obtaining copies regularly.
