THE PLUMAGE TRADE.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."] SIR, In reference to the letter in your last issue from our eloquent friend and fellow-worker Mr. H. J. Massingham, may I say that a large General Committee is being formed by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds for the purpose of forwarding and securing the Plumage Bill, and that we shall be glad to hear from any of your readers who will assist the campaign by their influence, their active work, or pecuniarily ? It is hoped that some members of this Committee will join the Executive Commitee formed by the Council of our own Society, who framed the first Plumage Bill (which passed the House of Lords in 1908) and led the support given to the Government Bill of 1914 (which passed its second reading in the House of Commons). We shall also be happy to supply information and literature.—I am, Sir, &c., L. GARDINER,
Secretary, Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. • 23 Queen Anne's Gate, S.W. 1.
[This is excellent news. There is now good hope that some- thing adequate will be done at last. We hope the response to the present appeal will be decisive.—En. Spectator.]
