§ Mr. ANDERSONasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he will furnish the complete list of journals, books, and pamphlets now prohibited by the military censor from going abroad; whether any responsible investigation is made before such action is taken, or whether the prohibition may be enforced at the whim of one official; and whether any journal feeling itself aggrieved and unjustly treated has any right of appeal?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONThe object of prohibiting the export of literature would be largely defeated by publication of the names of the journals, books, etc., so prohibited. The prohibition is only enforced after investigation by responsible authorities. The proceedings in the House on the 17th instant indicate that an aggrieved journal has the very best opportunity of appealing.
