TO me BdEtOr OF rae FrtOWRe-
SIR: The communication which appeared in
THE TRIBUNE Of last Friday, dated Washington jay
25. in relation TO the FOreign Book Post Treaty Is
so very one-sded that should like to see some counter
considerations in your columns
l. It Is too late in the day to define the meaning Oh
the treaty now The practice and consent Of all the
parties to it sufficiently explain its purport and purpose
It was as we'll known then now that books we're SUI
jec TO duty I'm tho countries concerned but this duty
was explicitly cancelled in consideration OF the postal
charge.
O. It Is assumed that the question Is one which cheiy
concerns book publishers. On the contrary believe
IL really % concern mostly and directly compara-
lively small number of IN way practically con-
nected with literature, and through them the public,
whose interest IL is these should have every
facility for accommodating knowledge from all parts or
the world.
3. The Government Of the United States has bound
itself by IT'S own practice for years to this meaning
Of the treaty The more enlightened nations Of the
world Joined in It. and st understand it and act on
f. because they think for their mutual good and the
furtherance Of civilization II wish to recede from It,
we should do boldly and at once renquish ITS adyan-
tages as well refuse to perform its obligations For
the convenience OF citizens, there should nave
been sufficient notification It is not very diRDhed act

no better than is now; the said books according TO
laws. being either entitled 70 admission or SUD
iect TO seizure
believe that the duty on foreign newspapers Is the
same as books. Why should they ALA not be ex-
eludedi know that THE TRIBUNE take broader
view OF its interests than to suppose that they
would be subseryed by their exclusion; but If the news
dealers appealed DeFbaps our Government might

other hand perhaps rot have little doubt that even
