THE MILK QUESTION

Sir,—After studying the milk report, Mr. Henry Bodley writes you a pretty little fable for inclusion in'the next "edition of Aesop, concerning a £oor little froggy who fell in whilst attempting to fly over a pool of water—or'was it milk? —since the two seem inseparable. When ho further writes that lie cannot take the milk report seriously does he mean that ho found it over his head, and, in trying to fly oven-, he, 'like his little froggy, fell in? During the past few years Mr. Henry Bodley lias written several letters to the Press, though not all on one subject, but in none of them can I remember any constructive, helpful criticism, as invariably they were of the destructive type, otherwise some helpful criticism might have been expected from him, as the milk question is a subject he does know something about. There are a number of peonle who take the milk report very seriously indeed, and who welcome real criticism of it, constructive or destructive, but. pin-pricks are utterly useless, except: to demonstrate that, as David Harum says, "a moderate number of fleas is good for a dog."—l am, etc., 6.A.T.
