COMICS
Sir, —I have just received an overseas women’s magazine, with a report ] of a women’s congress of “over 800 « delegates held in Vienna. They . are i insisting on laws to abolish the im- < portation of trashy literature and gangster films from America. Britain, ! Australia, New Zealand, Austria—we , are all waking up to the American < policy of keeping the people doped. < There is method in their madness. Only when the population is full of fear and hatred can America pursue : her war-mongering policy; and she i starts instilling it early at the imma- 1 ture comic reading age. I feel con- • cerned about new censorship laws, but : the only way to get from under this American monopoly domination of our ■ minds is to be drastic. The opposition to publishers and producers of American gangster films and pernicious literature is growing daily. I wonder when America will wake up.—Yours, etc., M.A. October 4, 1954.
