Honorable Members of the House of Commons weuld be well advised, in the interests of preserving freedom of speech and opinion in this country, to investigate what looks extremely like the developâ€" ment of an Ottawa equivalent of Goebbel‘s Ministry of Propaganda and Enlightenment.

THE BEAN PRINTING & PUBLISHING CO. ‘ Camers and Publishers l What puzzles a good many thoughtful Canadians is just why Ottawa is in the bookâ€"publishing business. By whose authority does the Queen‘s Printer Dept. publish "books on Confederation and Fedâ€" eralâ€"Provincial Relations, Tax Rental Agreements and the like"? By whose authority do they by their own admission, issue "brochures and ‘leafiets which explain them"? What do they mean when they assert as they do that it is their function to provide publications which "filter and digest" official documents for public consumption? Quite clearly, however, the Queeen‘s Printer‘s Department has no intention of confining their publishing activities to official reports or technical treatises. History, political science, military affairs silviâ€" culture and other topics are already among the growing list of Queen‘s Printer‘s publications. In short, Ottawa is out to give private publishing houses some pretty stiff competition. Ottawa‘s rapidly expanding Department of Public Printing and Stationery, in a press release captioned ‘The Queen‘s Printer‘s Best Sellers", claims to have published a list of titles "which regularly outsell the bestâ€"selling fiction published in Canada." Running neckâ€" andâ€"neck for top honors, strange as it may seem, are The Massey Report and the Stenographer‘s Manual of Reference. METROPOLITAN STORES 25 KING ST. SOUTH Mr. and Mrs. L. K.

It is sekiom indeed that anyone who has spent a long life in pubâ€" lic affairs manages to assist the historian and social student by keeping a fullâ€"length contempoâ€" rary journal. This, however, was the case with Beatrice Webb, whose Diaries form one of the major firstâ€"hand sources for the ‘Social historian over two generaâ€" tions. Not merely do they provide inside details o{y the working of one of the most remarkatle partâ€" nerships that British society has ever known, they also contain vivid sketches of the political figâ€" ures of the day and indicate, how the events of a period of major change struck a contemporary. f Solomon, Saul: "TUBERCULOâ€" SISZ", N.Y., Cowardâ€"McCann, 1952.
