Notes

  • Editorial on the various issues raised by literary censorship, whether it could be justified, etc. The writer was critical of the existing system of literary censorship in Australia, whereby books were banned at the prerogative of officers of the Commonwealth Customs Department. The writer concluded by arguing that if a system of literary censorship were deemed necessary, then it should at least be run by an independent board comprising persons of high literary qualifications.
