He was corresponding with Senator Henty about the importation of the Penguin book on the recent court case which resulted In the lifting of the ban on the publication of "Lady Chatterley's Lover" In England. Tms book is mainly a transcript of the proceedings in the Old Bailey. "We have received legal advice that, as the book Is a record of a public prosecution. It can be published here," Mr. Lane said.

"But I have told Senator Henty that we will not import it without his permission." He added that If Senator Henty agreed to the book's admission, he would send copies of It to the Premier (Mr. Bolte) and the Chief Commissioner of Police (Mr. Porter) with a note asking: "Are you going to take any action?"

The president of the Booksellers' Association (Mr. F.

"This commission should not be used as a remedy for the miscalculations of other authorities," he added.

Mr. Hawke criticised manufacturers for regarding wages as a cost of production which should be kept under control. This view had been reinforced by recent Judgments of the commission. Instead, he said, the commission should do Its best to restore to the worker the ability to take a genuine share in the country's productivity by Increasing wages In real terms. "How can you expect workers to respond to exhortations to Increase productivity when the commission steadfastly refuses to allow them to share In this productivity Mr.

Hawke asked. "The workers' share In productivity can be Increased either by a reduction in prices or an Increase In wages. Employers ensure that the first does not occur and endeavor to prevent the second by opposing all wage claims."
