unions are those now existing which per- 

 mit a 2-cents-an-ounce letter rate be- 

 tween the United States and Cuba, the 

 United States and Panama and the 

 United States and Canada. 



Postmaster General Meyer believes 

 that this reduction in the rate of postage 

 to the United Kingdom ultimately will 

 result in an increase of receipts, because 

 it has always been found that a reduc- 

 tion of the letter rate resulted finally 

 in increasing the revenue. He is also of 

 the opinion that a lower postage will lead 

 to freer commercial intercourse. 



It is said that in England the an- 

 nouncement of a penny post arrangement 

 with the United States gives greater 

 gratification to the British press and peo- 

 ple than many of the weightier political 

 reforms, and is especially greeted as an 

 important stage on the road to a univer- 

 sal penny post. It is considered cer- 

 tain to have considerable effect on for- 

 eign opinion in this matter, and little 

 doubt is entertained that it will speedily 

 be followed by the announcement that 

 negotiations with France to the same 

 end have been satisfactorily concluded.
