SOME HOUSE EXPRESSIONS
ON THE SULZER RESOLUTION.

derest spot-our pocketbooks; but
the patriotic awakening has come at
last, and with it a keen realization of
the affronts we have suffered for
years at the hands Of a government
notorious for it's lack of human sym
pathy.
This is not a partisan question. 1t
is an American matter. In dignified
way we say to Russia we give you
the official notice provided for in the
treaty to abrogate the same, because
it is obsolete, and we want, to nego-
tiate new treaty with you in har-
mony with the spirit of the times;
and we say to all the world in calm
ness and in deliberation, the govern
menc of the United States puts hui
man rights above commercial gain in
writing contracts with the powers of
the earth.
Mr.. Speaker, this joint resolution
introduced by me has been unan-
imously reported from the committee
on Foreign Affairs of this House, and
congratulate my collegians on the
committee for their expedition and,
their broad-minded patriotism in the
matter. Behind this resolution is an
overwhelming case of treaty viola
ton, as conclusive in its details as it
is incontroveTtible in its proofs.
Nevertheless, in adopting today this
resolution to abrogate the Russian
treaty we but follow precedent We

of the total number of pieces mailed

Specific and complete information
received from foreign countries re-
garding the character and operation
of their parcels post systems fur
nishes a valuable guide for the enact
ment of a general and local parcels
post law in this country, Senator
Bourne said today, in making public
tables of statistics regarding foreign
systems.
Low Rates In Foreign Countries.
THE tables set forth the interna-
tionaI parcels post rates, showing that
parcel may be mailed from the
United States to almost any other
country at twelve cents pound, A
similarly low but varying rate pre-
walls as to parcels from foreign coun.
tries to the United States, while our
domestic rate is one cent an ounce, or
sixteen cents a pound. The tables
show that the domestic parcels post
rates of the principal countries are
very materially lower than the domes-
tic rate on fourth-class matter in the
United States.
For instance, in the United King
dom, an eleven-pound package can be
sent from any postoffice to any other
postoffice in Great Britain for twenty,
two cents, In Germany the charge is
twelve cents for any package up TO
eleven pounds in weight The same
rate prevails in Austria and lower
rate in Belgium. In Mexico, oug neigh
boring republic, the rate varies from
six cents for the first pound u sixty
cents for an sleyen.pouud package

Following are extracts from the
House debate on Mr.. Suffers reso-
luton to abrogate the treaty with
Russia:
The Authors Views.
Mr.. Sulzer of New York - We
must be true to the great principles
of justice and freedom and equality
on which our government is founded,
We must not connive at the discrim-
inatiop of any American citizen on
account of his race or his religion or
permit any foreign power to discrim-
mate against him for these reasons.
To do so belittles our dignity, is an
insult to every American, and makes
our boast of equal rights to all hol-
low mockery
} Russia must recognize American
passports without discrimination on
account of race or religion, or the
Russian treaty should be abrogated
Our self-respect demands it. The
memories of the past dictate it; our
hope for the future commands it. No
other course is open to the United
States, and for this government 20
submit longer to the violation by
Russia of the treaty is a humiliation
to our sense of justice and to our love
for our fellow man that merits the
condemnation of every patriotic cit.
izen in America
We are a patient and a long-suffer-
ing people where the question in
volyed does not touch us on our ten.

HALEIwA EoR MINE.

Hundreds OF persons went away for
the weekend and enjoyed themselves
and many more went to Haleiwa and
had a time that will occupy a place
among the pleasant events stored in
the memory with the events of 1911.
Good weather, a better dance and a
dinner such as is served back East
were among the featres Of Saturday
and Sunday, and Monday follows with
a "repast." As a place for the week
end Haleiwa has won more advocates
and during the year 1918 it is to be
the choice OF persons who want good
times near at home. The climate Is
pleasant and the beach the best In the
islands. The same is to be said OF the
golf links. Since the establishment OF

Under the proposed rates (for par
cells post the volume of our fourth
class mail matter probably would be
gradually doubled, but even if it were
trebled l am satisfied there would be
no serious embarrassment to the Post
office Department. The rural deliv-
cry service is now working at not
more than twenty-five per cent. of it's
carrying capacity. In any branch of
the service the right of the depart
ment to determine the character of
delivery service would enable the de-
partment to regulate the extent to
which the parcels post service would
be patronized, and, thereby, prevent
congestion of business"
This is the comment of Senator
Jonathan Bourne, chairman of the
Senate committee on postoffices and
post-roads and champion of the pro
ject for parcels post service in the
United States, based on detailed sta
tistics collected by the committee re-
speeding the parcels post systems OF
twenty-one different countries.
Data From Abroad.
Senator Bourne, in support of his
statement as to the ability of the
Postofice Department to handle the
parcels post business, says that the
information regarding the systems in
foreign countries shows that the par
cells constitute a very small proper
ton OF the total number of pieces
mailed.
