Postmaster General Smith Extends
Him the Frnnlsing PriyiIcge

The Postmaster General has given Di-
rector of Posts Rathbone. head of the Gu
ban mail service, authority to extend to
General Gomez the franking privilege for
his official mail. The suggestion that this
privilege be given the old warrior came
from Director Rathbone, and was approved
by the Postmaster General and presumably
by the President. The case is unusual.
and it is doubtful if this privilege has ever
been extended before to anyone not a c t
izen of the United States, or except by act
of Congress. The privilege will not ex-
tend, of course TO his private mail but
as his correspondence both with the United
States and with parties on the island is
voluminous. it is not to be despised aside
