Further Increase in Price of Magazine.
We regret that, owing to the large increase in the price of paper and cost of production, we are under the necessity of increasing the price of Magazine to 4d. per copy, postage 1d. extra to the home country. The subscription for six months, beginning with the last issue (November), will thus be 2/6; for twelve months, 5/. Magazines to the United States, South America, etc., which are sent through a special agent, will come to the same price (5/), while the price to British Colonies (Canada, Australia, etc.), will be 4/6 including postage, the postage being still one halfpenny. It is desirable that our Canadian subscribers should send their money per Money Orders, as dollar notes are under value at present. We may point out that this increase (9d. for the half-year) means that single copies to the home country for the current year, May, 1918, to April, 1919, cost precisely 4/2. We also call attention to the fact that the increase implies that our issue of Free Distribution copies to Soldiers and Sailors will cost £14 per month—a large sum, to meet which donations are required. We feel really sorry to make new appeals, but the peculiar exigencies of the present time impose a necessity which we cannot escape from, however willing to do so. We bespeak the sympathy and help of our readers.
