To Encourage Anger About
40
Members
of
Parliament banded together as the "Moral Law Defence Association" to encourage public anger against the activities of "progressive" authors and publishers. They have already distributed some 20,000 leaflets telling people how they can take "practical steps" to stop the sale of indecent books.
Readers of the pamphlet are asked to seek police action against offending booksellers under a still -enforceable law of 1847 which forbids the sale of obscene books under pain of 14 days of imprisonment. The public is also asked to tell Members of Parliament of any failure by the police to take action.
