EFriCENCY OF THE SERVICE. 



The exchange relations with Greece are still, as in the past two years, in an unsat- 

 isfactory condition, and atprescut no packages are forwarded to that country except 

 those emanating from Government Bureaus and scientific contributions which as to 

 size and weight are sufficiently within the requirements of the postal service to admit 

 of their being forwarded direct by post. 



The exchanges with Mexico also continue to be unsatisfactory, and tho transmis- 

 sion of parliamentary documents is suspended pending the result of an effort now 

 being made through diplomatic correspondence to establish a systematic exchange of 

 publications by a responsible representative to be duly authorized by the Mexican 

 Government. Publications of scientific bureaus and societies are forwarded direct 

 by mail, however, as before stated. 



The official exchange of public documents is also temporarily suspended with 

 .Japan, owing to tho absence of a systematic provision for the proper conduct of the
