Notes:
The March 1933 issue of The Home includes 'Ignorance' (by M. L.), a brief commentary which was written in response to the 'banning of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World by the Customs Department.' M. L. asserts that in 'January last...further shameful discolourations appeared on the reputation of Australia...The banning of the Huxley book would be merely ludicrous were it not that it is a further step in the process of eradicating culture in the Commonwealth...The action of the Customs authorities has only succeeded in drawing the attention of paltry collectors of pornography to a work which will vastly disappoint them and which will not be at home in their libraries. It has also given the civilised world another chuckle at the expense of the Commonwealth.' (appears in the topical monthly column, 'Contributed Comments')
