not considered desirable q special ex-
eeption could be made In the law pro-

Postal 9svinss 0anIes-
I again renew my Recommendation
for postal savings banks, for deposit
fng savings with the security Of the
government behind them. The object
n to encourage thrift and economy In
the waGe Garner and person of mod
erate means- 1t is believed that in the
aggregate vast sums Of money would
be brought into circulation through
the instrumentality Of the postal saw
inSs banks. Postal savings banks are
now in operation in practically all the

In my last annual message l COM
n1ended the postmaster generals rec
ommendation for an extension Of the
parcel post on the rural routes. The
establishment Of q local parcel post
on rural routes would be to the mu-
tual benefit Of the farmer and the
country storekeeper. and 1t IL desirable
that the routes. serving more than 15.-
600, 600 people. should be utilised to the
fullest practicable extent

This should be done at the present SEES
sion Of the congress. The people of
the two territories have made It evil
dent by their votes that they will not
come In rs one state The only alter

Foreign A6airs-

On the theory that right must be done
