Herbert’s Attack LONDON. July 26. .Me. A. P. Herbert, in a characteristically humorous speech in the House of Commons, denounced the purchase tax on books, which be described as “the machine tools of education.” If this tax deprived the public of one good book, one new thought, or one worthwhile invention, he said, it was bad and barbarous. and should be amended. “The Chancellor, Sir Kingsley M oou, with geniality and affability, passes from one industry to another like a cheery reveller staggering from pub to pub, nobody bothering to hinder him,” said Mr. Herbert. "Tin* Chancellor says the publishing trade must suffer like other trades, lie is endeavouring to limit, the consumption of domestic goods, brushes, brooms and books. "Perhaps the Chancellor also wishes to limit: the consumption ot Bibles and prayer books. If the niche tor his statue is still available in the Commons lobbies, ho will go down as the first Chancellor to put a tax on the Word of God. “It. has been said, ‘We don’t want new books. Let’s take down (he classics. Let's have the old books.’ That was what, the French generals said and what, our last Government, said. “The shades of Milton. Caxton, Sheridan, Dickens, and other brave mon who in the last century fought for and won the principle of free enlightenment may well groan in their honoured graves, sei’ing the lamp they hung on the walls of Westminster clumsily torn down by a Chancellor who sees no important, distinction between boots and books.”
