Germany Makes Overtures to the
United States to Join the Interna-
tional Union,
The Postofllce Department has received
the following letter from the German di-
rector general Of posts urging the United
States government to send an officer Of the
Postoilice Department to Germany to per-
sonally inspect and study the parcel post
service Of that country with view to Join
ing the international parcel post:
"By its letter of Oct. 20, 1885, the Post
Office Department at Washington has in
formed me that the present condition of
American legislation prevents the United
States postal administration from establish
ing parcel post service with foreign coun-
tries. The German Office regrets to receive
this information at time when n number
of countries, which so far had not estab.
lished this service, are taking steps to in
troduce II. On Jan. !, 1886, parcel post
service will 20 into effect between Germany
and Great Britain, which country since the
transit Of its parcels through Germany has
thus been assured, is preparing similar ar
rangements with other European countries
A parcel post service is already In opera
tion between Great Britain and most of the
British colonies, especially India, Ceylon,
Burmah straits settlement, Cape colony,
the West Indies, colonies Of Grenada, ia
maca,i st. Lucia, st. Vincent, Tobago, and
Trinidad, Hong Kong, Malta, &c. Steps
have also been taken to extend the service
to the Australian colonies. Brazil,
the Argentine Republic, Paraguay,
Uruguay, Chill, and Venzuela will
adhere to the last parcel post conven-
tion; Japan has expressed its intention to
join that convention, and thus this useful
service is constantly being extended. The
German office, therefore, does not give up
the hope that the increasing appreciation OF
the advantages Of the international parcel
post service will also meet with response
In the United States, and will soon cause
the adoption Of such measures as will re.
move the legislative impediments in the
way of its introduction. The German
office would be delighted II It could aid
the Postofllce Department Of the United
States in forming an opinion as regards thC
beneficial influences Of this service. The
| German office would therefore sugges
that your government send an officer of tn,
PostOfilce Department to Germany to per
sonally inspect and study our parcel pos
service assuring 1t that this officer woult
be most Hospitality received, &C."
