Dawn To Dusk, Ernest Lane 1939

“LET THERE BE LIGHT.”

Catalogue of Educational Propaganda Books.
(See page 131)

The following catalogue of books, bearing on the working class fight for a regenerated society, has been compiled by the Literature Committee elected at the Rockhampton Conference of the A.W.A. last January, 1913. The committee realise the urgent necessity that exists for propaganda based on the economic and ethical principles of the Labour movement, and this is the reason why this attempt has been made to place in the hands of the workers the thoughts and aspirations of the intellectuals and writers of the Forward Movement.

The catalogue is of necessity limited, as there is great difficulty in securing prices, etc. Still it covers a wide range, and all the books are of a very high literary and economic value.

There is a great dearth of such books amongst the booksellers of Australia, and at present many will have to be obtained from Europe and America, which means a delay of three or four months from the date of ordering. A number, however, can be procured in Australasia.

Money must accompany orders (which will be immediately acknowledged). Postage is not included in the listed prices, which in some instances, however, may be reduced.

The committee believe that this effort to concentrate and circulate books of this character will bear good fruit, and shortly evolve into a larger and more systematic sphere than is possible at present. Individuals as well as branches, etc., will be attended to on receipt of orders, as it is desirous to assist all seeking knowledge and not to restrict it to any section of workers.

No profit is made out of this scheme, and all the work in connection with it is cheerfully volunteered, all that is asked in return, is for the workers to avail themselves of this opportunity to acquire knowledge and strength, and by active co-operation make it of permanent and invaluable assistance to the Labour cause generally. The committee will welcome enquiries, and do everything possible to assist those who are anxious to help in this too long neglected work.
