RATS AND THE PLAGUE.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—Your issue of December 3180910, contained an article on "Rats and the Plague," which must have left on many minds, as on my own, an impression of extreme urgency and an uneasy sense of responsibility. Has your own warning, and that of the Times, been ignored, or has anything adequate been done ? If not (for the winter is passing), will you kindly tell us whether there is any way in which private individuals can help to arrest the attention of those in power, or bring any influence to bear in the right quarters ? Could you supply reprints of your article, and would it be worth while for con- stituents to enclose these, with or without a personal appeal, to their Parliamentary representatives ? Or can you suggest any more effectual method P—I am, Sir, &c., CITIZEN.
[We think the best plan would be for those who feel strongly on the matter to write to the Member representing the Con- stituency in which they live, and to bring to his attention the importance of immediate and well-considered action on the part of the Government.—En. Spectator.]
