POSTAL REVENUE.
BRITISH RATES CRITICISED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received June 2, 1.10 a.m. London, May 31. In the House of Commons Mr. F. G. Kelieway (Postmaster-General) was sharply questioned in regard to the increased postal rates. He declared the postage on newspapers and printed matter for abroad was not very remunerative, and he feared it was impossible at present to reconsider the rates. He thought there might be 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 and openly by a vote of the House of Commons, anil not by a secret subsidy embodied in the Post Office estimates. —Reuter Service.
