EFFICIENCY OF THE SERVICE. 



J venture to again call attention to the unsatisfactory condition of the exchange 

 relations with Greece, which are in the same state as a year ago, when, on account of 

 the expenses attending the distribution of packages, the transmission of miscellaneous 

 exchanges was discontinued by request of the librarian of the United National and

The exchange with Mexico is still also in an extremely unsatisfactory condition, 

 and the transmission of the parliamentary documents to the Mexican Government 

 has been suspended awaiting some action by the Mexican authorities, to whose 

 attention the matter was brought through the Mexican minister.

 has become possible to bring up to a great extent the records that during the past 

 year had fallen into arrears. It was also found practicable to make a slight increase 

 in the regular working force of the Bureau, and I take pleasure in bearing witness 

 to the efficiency of the employees in the exchange office, and in expressing apprecia-
