IMPORTS OF “PULP” MAGAZINES
GOVERNMENT URGED TO STOP ENTRY NELSON, February 18. Concern at the importation of a degrading type of “pulp” magazine which, it was stated, is being read, especially by the younger people and is spoiling a taste for good literature, was expressed by the conference of the New Zealand Library Association. The conference adopted the following report: “After full discussion the conference of the Library Association had before it ample evidence that a large quantity of periodical publications of a particularly degrading and sensational character was still entering New Zealand in circumstances which make its suppression very difficult. The conference urges on the Government that stricter measures be taken to stop this traffic and promises full co-operation in carrying them out. The Minister of Education is requested to receive a deputation from the conference with a view to placing this resolution before the Government.”
