Although the rate Of second class mat
ter as fixed at the conferences between

officials in conference here Monday, is
four times the rate formerly prevailing
on this class of matter mailed in the

familiar with the operation of such

While not officially announced. il is
understood that the Canadian authori-
ties gave notice of the abrogation Of the

Der Of cheap publications which that
government did not consider worthy of

that in the event all publications
