IMPORTATION OF BOOKS
Sir,-Your ‘report of the interv&ew between Sir Stahley Unwin and the Rt. Hon. Walter Nash made _ interesting reading. Mr. Nash is of the opinion that Sir Stanley doesn’t know what .he is talking about. It is equally true that the Minister does not know everything about the book position, I have before me a letter from my bookseller on which I am told that two volumes in standard works of a bread and butter line cannot be supplied. One will require eight weeks to obtain; the other has been on order since last December. Both are issued by British firms, so dollar shortage does not come into the picture. The public can get what reference works they want-you’re telling me!
