"UNDESIRABLE FICTION."
STRANGE LIST OF AUTHORS. LIBRARIANS' CARE. (Received 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, November 15. The "Daily News" discloses that certain municipal library officials are suppressing many books, including those of Wells. Shaw, Anthony Hope, Arnold Bennett. W. B. Maxwell, Anatole France, H. de Vere Stacpoole, and Eden Philpotts. Librarians, acting on their own initiative, frequently mark undesirable volumes with a red star, and lock them in private rooms. Borrowers are closely watched and prevented from specialising in a certain type of fiction.— (Sydney "Sun.")
