1. Cash sale going down. How to remedy this? Causes of decrease.

2. Advertisements difficult to procure unless paper is boomed and cash sale and circulation increase.

*

1. Editorial matter insufficient. More hands required for articles etc. but fresh expenditure impossible.

2. News almost nil, more expenditure on telegrams, etc. necessary, but impossible. Reporters to be engaged but this means fresh expenditure.

3. Correspondent arrangements.

4. Working of Editorial Department – especially editing of Reports and Telegrams. Present staff seems unable to do it.

*

1. Correspondence.

2. Despatch horribly bad, how to improve it?

5. Press. Another Press absolutely necessary but no money.
