Letters for War Prisoners.
Reduced postage rates for airmail letters addressed to New Zealand and other British prisoners of war interned abroad were announced yesterday by the Postmaster-General, Mr Webb. The reduced rates, which are for letters not exceeding half an ounce, are as follows: —By airmail throughout from New Zealand to Lisbon, 3s; by airmail to New York, thence surface mail to Lisbon, 2s; by surface mail to New York, thence airmail to Lisbon, Is. The reduced rates will not recoup the post office for its outlay in transmission charges, but in the interests of facilitating communication between next-of-kin in New Zealand and prisoners of war the post office is prepared to bear the resultant loss.
