Agreed Upon For Letter
Mail to Great Britain.
Two Gents an Ounce, Ettec-
Tive After Oct. Il, 1908.
Announcement Of Agreement by
Postmaster General.

Washington, June 3.-POStmaSter
General Meyer announced today that
IAN agreement had been reached with
the British government providing for
q letter postage of two cents an ounce
Britain and Ireland, to become oper-
alive Oct |, 1905. He stated further
that the British postmaster general,
Sydney Buxton, was making like
announcement to the House of Com
mons today
The matter of "penny postage as
it is called in England, has been un-
der consideration for some time, and
as far back as last July President
Roosevelt approved Mr.. Meyers course
in urging restricted union with
England"
On Oct l. 1907, the Universe! Pos
tai Union, which governs the internal
tional postal transactions of the va
rious civilized countries, reduced the
rate Of letter postage from five cents
half ounce fiat to five cents for the
first ounce and three cents for each
additional ounce, which is the pres
ent rat" between the United States
and Great Britain, with which we have
direct steamship communication and
is also the rate between the United
States and countries with which we do
not have direct steamship commune
cation, but upon mail to which we
have to pay an additional charge to
countries through which it passes in
transit.
Under the articles of the Universal
Union. any two states can form re-
stricted union. Examples of restricted
unions are those now existing which
permit a two cents an ounce letter
rate between the United States and
Cuba, the United States and Panama
and the United States and Canada.
Pos-master General Meyer believes
that this reduction in the rate of pos
tagc to the United Kingdom ultimately
viii result in an increase, because it
has always been found that a reduc-
ton Of the letter rate resulted finally
in increasing the revenue He is also
OF the opinion that lower postage
viii lead to freer commercial inter-
course. Our manufacturers, he says,
are increasing their sales in England,
and must rely to great extent upon
the rails for orders and increase of
trade. Further" he stated "this will
be great boon to our adopted and
English speaking citizens and their
connections here, particularly those
of limited means. and it will enable
them to keep up correspond
ence with their relatives and
friends in the old country at domestic
rates"
