BRITISH POSTAL RATES
IMPOSSIBLE TO RECONSIDER THE INCREASES.
(Rec. June 2, 1.10 a.m.)
London, May 31
Tn the House of Commons, Mr. F. G. Kelleway (Postmaster-General) was sharply questioned with regard to the increased postal rates. He declared that the postage on newspapers and printed matter for abroad was not very remunerative. Ho feared it was impossible at present to reconsider the rates. He thought there might he something in the suggestion That the United States deliberately adopted an opposite policy with a view’ to encouraging the export trade. He recognised the, national advantage of increasing any means of propaganda in the interests of British trade, but that should be done frankly nnd openly by vote of tho House of Commons, not by a secret, subsidy embodied in the Post Office Estimates. —Reuter.
