CRITICAL NOVELIST
BAN IMPOSED ON DREISER New York, Sept. 24. The Canadian Minister of Justice, Mr. Louis St. Laurent, has prohibited the famous American novelist, Theodore Dreiser, from making public statements or speeches in Canada. This is the sequel to anti-British remarks made by Dreiser in an interview printed in a Toronto newspaper. Dreiser said that he would rather see the Germans in England than the "aristocratic, horse-riding snobs” running the country now. He said that if Russia was defeated he hoped that the Germans would invade England, which had done nothing in this war except borrow money, planes and men from the United States. Mr. Churchill had no intention of opening a second front. “Mr. Churchill is afraid the Communists will rule the world,” he added, “so he does nothing except send thousands of Canadians to be slaughtered at Dieppe. He did not send any English as far as I know.”
