the parcel post now is possible. for
Postmaster General Burleson replied
to the -interrogationstn that Congress
had placed on restrictions on the de
partment as to the acceptance OF
game. This condition, state game
wardens fear, will nul1ify in great
measure the state. laws framed for the
protection OF wild life. The postmast-
er general pointed oat@that under the
law the postoffice department could
not discriminate in the acceptance of
packages that conformed with the de-
partmene's regulations! Postmasters
therefore were compelled. he said. to
accept game for shipment when the
regulations were observed.
