SALACIOUS LITERATURE.
Arising out of its outspoken comment by the London Church Times-, concerning, the,, quantity of salacious literature' passing from counter to customer, it is explained that this kind of reading came from overseas,, as it was seldom printed in England. It was mentioned that by one large firm alone 130 titles of these periodical journals- were listed. Touching on this matter, theChurch Chronicle, Ballarat, raises the following queries: — (1) Howls it that in wartime, when there is need for drastic economy in the use of paper, a supply of paper can be found on. which to print this kind of thing?" ■ ■(2) How comes it that shipping space which should be filled with food and the essentials of life, if hot of munitions, should be made available for such cheap nastiness? (3) Is any* of this nauseous contamination -reaching Australia? - , , The hope was expresesd that theauthorities in Australia were vigilant in watching the. activities of dealers in. tainted literature. The same vigilance is just as needful in NewZealand.
