EDUCATOR RAPS PROPOSED BAN ON LITERATURE Warns Against Act Which Prevents Import of 'Seditious’ Books. 8” erripp.Hn>rr,nl A Hint ire WASHINGTON. May 31 Amendment of the n^ T -v tariff bill to prevent imporfa’ion of “seditious and anarchistic" literature is a “kindergarten measure which assumes tha f the American people are so stupid and untrustworthy that ft is unsafe to let them read anything about revolutions," according to Professor Zecharaiah Chafer Jr. of Harvard university.

| could construe the amendment as to censor all foreign literature, and could ban the great European works on political science, history, labor movements and revolution. "Ts this legislation is to be enforced with impartiality, it will necessarily cut us off from the economic and political thought of Eupropc and the rest of the world.” he said, adfime that even universities and librar'e.s could not import book- dealing with revolutionary movements. Chafee is a recognized legal authority and his book "Freedom of Speech, is standard. His opinion of ! the proposed amendment was asked |by Judson King of the National Pop- ; ular Government League, one of the j leaders in the fight against the na-1 tional sedition law proposed by At-torney-General A. Mitchell Palmer immediately after the World war. King pointed out that under the j present obscenity law Rosseau’s | "Confessions.” and similar great i literary works are banned and that| Voltaire’s “Candid." has just been seized Chafee said that the customs in-

terpretation of the new statute j would almost inevitably lead to ex-; elusion of any books which appear to | advocate revolution anywhere, and ! that even if one paragraph were to j be declared revolutionary the whole book might be banned. “Even such a book as Bertrand i Russell's ‘Proposed Roads to Free- j dom.’ one of the sanest discussions ! of contemporary thought, which has j a large sale in this country, might be j barred, because it contains extracts ■ from the communist manifesto of j 1848 and anarchist songs." he aid.
