HITCHCOCK PLANS TO END POSTAL DEFICIT

Washington. Dec 2T-Confronted with a deficit of S17.479. TO. the present administration of the Post Office De- partment began its operations. This was the largest deficit in the history of the Postal Service. So long as the deficit in the department aggregated only a few millions of dollars annually little attention was paid to 1t: but when. in the last few years. it leaped 1909. exceeded S17. 7.0OO. .0O0. ordinary bus mess prudence suggested that the causes be definitely located"
 These are statements in the annual report Of Postmaster General Frank H. Hitchcock. just made public. Con corning the results of inquiries into the deficit. he says:
 Recent investigations have shown that the two great sources of loss to the postal revenues are second-class mail matter and rural delivery. The loss on second-class mail matter has been increasing for many years. until 1t now amounts to s64. .0O0. GOO. The loss from rural delivery. a service begun hardly a dozen years ago and of un- precedented growth. reaches as high as S2s, ,00O.OO0''
 He says the Presidents economy plans are being carried out. but 'it should be stated with emphasis that economy Is not to be enforced at the cost of efficiency. Only such meas ures of economy will be adopted. there fore. as can be made a consistent part of a general programme having for it's chief object the improvement of the personnel. the form of organization, and the business methods of the pos tai establishment"
