§ 28. Mr. GALLACHERasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies on what grounds the administration of Kenya 431 Colony confiscates in the post books of Socialist economic theory and history by Karl Marx, Frederick Engels, and similar writers, when such books are openly published in this country by reputable firms of publishers?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREI have no information as to publications which are confiscated in the post in Kenya, as it is customary to leave this matter to the discretion of Colonial Governments.
§ Mr. GALLACHERIs the Minister aware that it was an Englishman in Kenya who wrote to a quite creditable English firm for some literature that he wanted to study?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREI had supposed that it must have been an English settler who wanted to wade through that dreariest of dreary books "Das Capital."
§ Mr. GALLACHERThere is no more interesting book on the subject.
