Something About "Banned Books,” and Red Indian Oratory. CALEDONIAN CANAL, SCOTLAND. TpOLLOAVING my unsuccessful A attempt to clap eyes on tjje Loch Ness monster in these local waters I turned again to the study of human beings, not at all difficult in this section of the world where geniality among travelers is the order of the day. Among many excellent and companionable tourists it was my good fortune to swap conversation with Mr. Arthur J. Simons, of his Majesty’s Customs and Excise, headed for the Isle of Skye on a holiday. After a time we got around to the regulations affecting the recent flood of questionable books, that is to say I did, having heard that the percentage of banned books was on the increase. ‘ “That may be true.” said Simons. ‘ “but also the objection to them is on the wane. I can tell you that much j from experience, as all the books re- I garded as undesirable are obliged to ' pass through my department of the customs, or through my hands if there is a decision to be made. In England there is no duty on a legitimate book. If it reaches us properly wrapped and sufficiently stamped it goes through without a hitch. I have no doubt that I a great many volumes inappropriate j for so-called family reading are con- | stantly passing, through the mails.” The Right of Search. “What is your procedure when a particular book, banned by good taste —whatever good taste may be —-is brought to your attention? Are you on the watch for such?” “There again,” said Simons, trained In the civil service, “is the right of search. If we have reason to believe that a particular package contains poison and we take the trouble to Investigate—well, nine times out of ten, the parcel is found *to contain something quite as harmless as ‘Pollyanna’ from the States, or a novel by Wodehouse from England. With us a book is merely a book and in the absence of suspicious exterior It is delivered as such in its original wrapper—unmolested.” “What do you mean by suspicious exterior?" Discovery by Instinct “That is a matter nobody can explain. There is something psychic about the way a book Is wrapped for mailing. Twine, sealing wax, the manner of writing ‘Book only,’ the numerous peculiarities that are associated with the attempt to hide something that is not entitled to be revealed, all have inevitable telltale characteristics, which under the eye of an expert, cry aloud for action on the part of both the customs house and post office department. each jealously exercising its rights. In either case. If the contents are disapproved the book Is not delivered.” “Who decides the Issue, If there be ° one?” “In my own department there are two assistants who can pronounce the death sentence. If they are In doubt it Is my prerogative to do so. It is our privilege to ban any book in any language that we regard as unfit for the British mails." Burning “Bad” Books. “How often do you take summary action?” « j “I should say that on an average of . once every IS months we find It necessary to perform the thumbs down act. j f All such books are burned by the department. Occasionally there is a protest. but not often. Neither the adi dressee or the addresser cares to make j a fuss. Many books that attain notori- ■ ety in one country are issued as reprints in another country, thus increasing the difficulty of detection. Then again there are highly indecent works that because of their historical background or because of their truly artistic value are classified as works of art The destruction of these Is by many experts regarded as vandalism. For them plenty of defenders come forward with sturdy opposition to the cleansing fires. The three so-called popular books that have been actually banned during my experience with such matters are The Well of Loneliness,’ ‘Lady Chatterly,’ and ‘La Garconne.’ There are others probably worse, but they have not achieved that .distinction.” I named several that have recently appeared in the United States, but Mr. Simons bad not even heard of them. Such is fame. • • • In the sitting room of a family hotel of the first class at Inverness, one of the most hospitable municipalities in Scotland, is assembled the world’s greatest collection of furniture designed to facilitate the gentle art of lounging as practiced among denizens of the British Isles. My inventory reads: Sofas, 5; double easy chairs, leather and doth, 2; straight backed chairs, S; tabourets, 15; potted plants, 5; writing desk, 1; fireplace, L The dimensions of the room containing this 1 assorted comfort is 22 by 35 feet. The number of items totaled 45. It conI tained tvery known slouching convenience except a steamer chair and a hammock. A restless man, calling his shots, could have spent the whole day there without repeating. Something I ever on hand calculated to fit the moat fastidious. Copyright.—WNU Service.

The fighting raged around these trenches on May W and 12, 1864.

"QUOTES" COMMENTS'ON CURRENT TOPICS BY NATIONAL CHARACTERS Opinions expressed in the paragraphs below arc not necessarily concurred in by the editor of this newspaper. WAR’S MENACE By VISCOUNT CECIL *TpHE nations, in America no less A than in Europe, are preparing for further war. More money is at the present time being spent for armies, navies and air forces than ever before in peacetime. Moreover, one great country, in defiance of all treaty obligations, has launched a war of conquest against another. And yet the contest which finished in 1918 was a war to end war. ■ We are drifting toward another \ world catastrophe worse even than the last. Can nothing be done to prevent it? Certainly good intentions and pious aspirations are not enough. No doubt the peace-loving nations will wish to remain at peace. But we found in 1914. and you found three years later, that in spite of our wishes ' we were driven into war. What happened then mhy—nay, will—happen again unless we take adequate steps to prevent it. ‘ FAITH IN THE LEAGUE By GEN. JAN SMCTS 'T'HE league is not moribund or * on its last legs, but only finding its feet, only beginning its career. Henceforth more and more it will stand forth as the determined foe of Imperialism, of that spirit of aggressive expansion and annexation that characterized the old pre-war order and which was fondly thought to have been killed in the World war but is again showing its horrid head in world affairs. No, the message of Armistice day isn’t forgotten. Long live the League of Nations! PRESENT AMERICAN ECONOMY By SECY. HENRY V WALLACE THERE is as much need today for a Declaration of Independence as there for a Declaration of Independence in 1776. The typical New England farming community of the Eighteenth century was 95 per cent economically independent of the rest of the nation and the world. The rest of the colonies might have suddenly disappeared, and the cojnmunity could continue to function. Os how many communities in America could that be said today? Merely to ask the question is to answer it. And if farmers, with the help of government, should today achieve even a 50 per cent economic self-sufficiency, as compared with their present 20 to 30 per cent, the result would be the starvation of many millions in our clties. A change of this sort might be brought about slowly, but brought about rapidly it would prove a catastrophe. Great Minds Times of genertil calamity and confusion have ever been productive of the greatest minds. The purest ore is produced from the hottest furnace, and the brightest thunderbolt la elicited from the darkest storm. — s Colton.
