asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that, under the Undesirable Publications Ordinance, 1939, the Governor of Sierra Leone has banned the importation into the Colony of six newspapers; will he state the names of these newspapers and the grounds for their suppression; and whether they are also prohibited in this country?

On 31st January last the Governor of Sierra Leone made an order prohibiting the importation of the following publications: "Labor Action," "The New International," "Fourth International," "International News," "The Fighting Worker," "The Militant." This action was taken in view of the propaganda contained in these publications against the successful prosecution of the war.
