THE BOLD CENSORS
The New England Watch and Ward Society of Bos
ton is our most active censor of books But the United
States Postoffice Department and the Custom House
are really official censors, for what they say goes. Their
last list of banned books totaled 739 volumes. Of these,
379 were Spanish, 231 French, 5 Italian, 10 German
and 114 were English.
In banning books we are not in it with Fascist Italy,
Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany, and oddly enough the
Irish Free State. This latter has a most tender con
science. Each week it issues a list of forbidden books,
which lists are published in the trade papers. Librar
ians long ago learned that if they banned a book and
advertised the fact they at once created a demand for
that book. So with the Irish Free State—the books it
condemns are eagerly sought for by hundreds of read
ers.
There are books which are grossly improper. Yet it
takes a bold man to act as a censor of what the public
shall read and what it shall not read. Mark Twain’s
“Adventures of Tom Sawyer” was in 1876 excluded
from the public libraries of Brooklyn and Denver. Rus
sia in 1930 confiscated all copies of the book at the bor
der. The concord Public Library condemned “Huckle
berrv Finn” as “trash and suitable only for the slums.”
‘King Lear was not allowed on the English stage
from 1788 to 1820, the reason being that it might call
attention to King George’s insanity. “The Merchant of
Venice’' has been eliminated from high school curricula
in the East because Shylock might “foster intolerance.”
Even “Robinson Crusoe” was banned by Spain. Re
cently Russia put its foot down on Hans Christian An
derson’s fairy stories because they glorified princes and
princesses.
As one studies the history of censorship, past and
present, it is apparent that literary tastes differ and
that it is hard to please everyone. The trouble, of
course, with censorship, is that it is an attempt to limit
freedom of thought, and that cannot be achieved.—The
Cincinnati Enquirer.
