BANNED MAGAZINES
Australian Regulations
American magazines and periodicals classified by booksellers as "westerns” and “love ami romantic stories” represent the bulk of the publications which have been banned under the new wartime import control regulations in Australia. One establishment alone, with stores throughout Australia, has sold at least 20,000 copies a month of the more popular types of the fiction now banned.
Mr. P. Dowling, managing director of the New South Wales Bookstall Co. Pty. Ltd., claimed that the ban would cause unemployment in wholesale and retail establishments, and would affect "more than three-quarters of the population.” Restrictions in Great Britain on reading matter at the beginning of the war laid since been relaxed, he said.
