Ing the provision OF the postal convention
between the two countries relating TO
second-class matter. which, according 10
Cansda's notice, will expire May Z. 1907.
This provision permits the transmission

rate OF cent per pound
Joint committee OF the senate and
house. of which Senator Penrose is chair
man. has been engaged since oct / in
taking testimony covering the whole sub
ject OF second-class mail matter and -
an outcome of the inquiry the general ex
pectation Is that some legislation will be
enacted.
II no legislation be enacted then the
two governments will fall back on the
international union postal rates when the
provision I'm the existing treaty expires,
unless I'm the meantime Canada comes
forward with a new proposition for the
consideration OF this government. The In
ternational postal union rates on second

For some time past the Canadian gov
ernment has found fault with the con
struction placed on classes OF second
class mail matter by this government
when II came 10 the matter OF its applica-
tion for transmission through Canadian
territory.
Probably 100 different periodicals which
are transmitted through the United States
