Anti-Sport War at Home
TWO WEEKS AGO the “Tolegraph” reprinted an article by Ben Robertson, "P.M.” correspondent in London on the anti-racing (grey- hounds and horses) agitation that had found its way to the Pross. Below are the articles in the “Daily Express” that gave rise to Robertson's com- monts:

BACKYARD POULTRY and pie keepers may gel more food for their hens and pigs. Owners of 'race- horses and greyhounds may get less,
The Munkater of Agriculture, the authority primarily concerned with finding food for all animals, has set fis experts to work. They have to - decide whether is better to encourage an increased production of bacon or provide for a continuation of horse and greyhound racing.
Indications are that bacon will win,
There are nearly twice as many racehorses in training now as in the last war. And whlie never more than fifty greyhounds nun at a track meeting, dogs in training average 100 G for each track.
If horses and greyhounds were cut by 50 per cent, there would be 10,-. 000,000 more eggs and about 1,000,- 000 lbs. more bacon available for our national food supply.

Two Days Later....
My proposal that" we should feed poultry and pigs instead of race- horses and greyhounds is finding a lot of support.
It is also finding a lot of opposl- tion, especially from people directly connected with racing.
Of the letters I have received 33 per cent. tell me I am a cad nud a spellsport; and 02
62 per cent. say that. racing and fox-hunting should be stopped during the war.
Mr. E. T. Malman, of Cambridge, who has made many researclien into animal nutrition, tells me that our racehorses' daily, 18lbs. of oats a head would produce 21.500.000 cras er 3,000,000 gallons of milka

Mrs Lorna Chapman, of SnaresTM brook, E., approves my idea of lend- Ing our bloodstock and pedigree dogs to America.
"The stable personnel thus re- leased," she points out, "would only have to cross the road in many cases to do more vital work on the land.
