Abstract
IF I were still in Parliament I should give as cordial support to the Importation of Plumage (Prohibition) Bill as I would have done to the late Lord Avebury's Bill had I been in the House of Lords when he introduced it. But I recognise that if the measure is to receive support from men of science, it must be based mainly on scientific rather than on humanitarian or sentimental grounds.
