Add to basketItem description from seller
12mo, 3 pp, 35 lines. Good, on lightly aged paper, and with a thin strip from mount adhering at head of blank verso of second leaf of bifolium. Discusses 'the restriction on the importation of paper and paper making materials', imposed 'with the object of securing more tonnage space in incoming vessels'. He has not 'been willing to fetter the discretion of the Commission', and concludes with the comment 'that if they had to consider the rival claims literary or educational of particular publications for special treatment they would find the burden placed upon them heavier than any body of persons, however conscientious, could be expected to bear.'.
