‘How To Kill’ Book Is Banned In Canada
By Tom Tiede
TORONTO-fNEAI-
The
government says John Min- calls it trash. Published in
nery is one of Canada's most ”Hnu' ,|v>
notorious authors. Hence,his
published book is not to be
.found in the libraries here
nor is it on the bookstore' seized and burned.
shelves. By law, no ope in
Canada is to have the Work,
not even Mimicry;-It is
banned in this country.
The book is called "How
To Kill.” According to Min-
nery it is an absorbing study
of ways to abrogate with
extreme prejudice. The au-
thor tells of 10 methods of
murder, including decapita-
tion, clubbing, and pistol
use. One chapter contains a
discussion of how to' split
heads with hatchets. '
Minnery calls the book a
godsend for police officers
and military soldiers Zwho
deal, in this sort of thing."
The Canadian government
i-nlk it trash Published in
the United States, "How To
Kill" is not permitted entry
into Canada; copies that
come across the border are
Minnery and his publisher
are angered by the ban, but
they receive little sympathy
in this area of the continent.
The rest of America may be
going to hell literately and
pictorally, but Canada re-
tains the right to manage its
culture. More- than 1,000 no-
no's are annually stopped at
the border.
, Not all the rejected items
are as incendiary as "How
To Kill." There is a report
this year that one Canadian
customs officer has seized a
poster of Farrah Fawcett'
Majors. Still, despite quar-
rels as to acceptable stand-
ards, Canadian officers are
mostly serious about pro-
tecting the nation from
shame.
Continentally, the situa-
tion is something of a turna-
bout from days past. Years
ago easily embarrassed U.S.
sentries used to seize French
postcards smuggled in
through Quebec. Now, while
the U.S. lets almost anything
through, Canada has fash-
ioned the strongest censor-
ship law in the hemisphere.
The Canadian law is a mere
23 words long. It prohibits
entry of "books, printed
paper, drawings, prints,
photographs or representa-
tions p( any kind of a trea-
sonable-or sedititious, or of
an immoral . oc indecent
charatter." Canada’s reve-
nue minister, Monique
jjegin, saps the law’s power
is immense.
It is also subject to come
peculiar interpretations.
Customs officer George Rus-
sell says definitions of the
law are. a problem: “Vio-
lence is one thing, sex anoth-
er. If you write a book about
someone killing his mother,
that is allowed; but if there
were pictures, and mother
was naked, I don’t know."
NOT CONTROVERSIAL
For all the value confu-
sion, though, Russell says
the censorship matter is not
a controversial one. "Cana-
dians are not like Americans
in this respect. We don’t
tolerate everything. The
only , time the public com-
plains about censorship here
is when we let something
nasty slip through."
That isn’t often. In addi-
tion to the federal censors
l directed by 60 year old John
Merner, a former Army
colonel who “hates to open
dirty books before morning
coffee^, each of Canada’s 10
provinces has a censure
board of its own. “Our 11th
commandment," says Rus-
sell, "is 'Thou Shalt Not Be
Aroused.’”
The commandment could
yet be modified. The ques-
tion of provincial censor-
ship, at least, is currently
being tested in Canada's su-
preme court. A Halifax jour-
nalist has won all lower
court battles against Novp
Scotia’s 1974 prohitijjon of
'last Tango in. Paris," The
betting here is he’ll also wjn
at the top.
Yet even if provincial cen-
sorship is ultimately struck
down, it will do no good for
John Minnery. The Cana-j;
dian customs laws rigidlp,
follow obscenity guidelines,
handed down by the courts.. .,o
Thus few have’ bothered to!. '

Minnery or his published
