MENACES PARCELS POST.
Senator Sees Danger in Demand for
Lower Letter Rate.

1.-THE greatest danger to the parcel post
movement lies in the demand for one
cent letter rate" said Senator Jonathan
Bourne, jr., chairman of the Senate COM
mittee on post offices and post roads, In
a statement today.
Members of Congress are now being
flooded with letters from bankers and
wholesale merchants asking for one-cent
letter postage. The similarity of the LAM
guage in the letters shows conclusively
that they are not written because BUSH
ness men feel the two-cent rate to be bur-
densome. but because some interested or
ganization has agitated the subject.
Establishment Of the one-cent letter
postage would mean a reduction Of the
revenues of the postal service and would
delay enactment of parcel post legisla-
ton. / deem it important, therefore. that
all advocates Of the parcel post counter
act the influence of this demand for one
cent letter postage by asking that the
parcel post be established before the
question of reduction In letter postage Is
considered.
mo European country has 1-cent letter
postage; but European rates on parce.s
are much less th.n ours. Our letter
rate is not burdensome. Strange as II
NAV SEEM the demand for educed letter
postage comes chiefly from bankers who
are abundant.y able to pay the two-cent
rate. The parcel rate Is now prohibitive
and forces the people to patronize the ex-
press companies. 1t Is bu. densome, and
compared with the rates In other coun-
,ries. is shame to our postal system.
Every advocate of parcel post should
make his voice heard now.
