FURS FROM HUMANELY KILLED ANIMALS
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]
SIR,—Allow me to congratulate you upon your recent offer of free advertisement to the firm which first obtains and sells humanely caught furs.
Your campaigning in this righteous cause has been noticed in the Press of this country and the Anti-Steel-Trap League has quoted your offer many times through letters and newspapers.
The Press more and more allies itself with us, whereas five years ago almost nothing was said by it, nor could it be induced-to do so on account of its fur advertisements. Is it not a welcome sign to have splendid, uncompromising editorials appear here and there ? The Spectator has undoubtedly influenced its cousins in the States more than it knows.
Our League is waging a campaign in the State of Massachusetts at the present time which will culminate in the election of November, 1930, when the question of the steel trap can be settled by the vote of the people. As you perhaps know, South Carolina passed a law making illegal all torturing devices, so that it can be done. With best wishes and more success to you.—I am, Sir, &c.,
