MEXICAN ATTITUDE
WORRIES JAPANESE
Friendly Overtures Might Be
Mistaken For Warlike De-
signs, Some Think.

Toxic. July 22.-Mexico's demonstra-
tons of friendship are pleasing, but
embarrassing to Japan. 1t is feared
here that they might be misunderstood
in the United States and affect the
friendly relations with that country.
The Japanese newspapers are chag-
rined at the outcome of the California
negotiations, but express qualification
that Mexico, unlike the United States,
welcomes Japanese ~emigrants. They
point out, however, that anything In
the nature of an alliance between Ja-
panese and Mexico would be impossible
as it would undoubtedly awaken sus-
picion that Japan was fostering belli-
cose designs.

PLAN OTHER EXTENSIONS

Washington. d. c., July 22-Plans for
the extension, improvement and reduc-
ton in rates of the parcel post We're
announced by Postmaster General Bur-
Lesson. The changes, which are to be-
come effective on August Is, include
an Increase from II pounds to 20 pounds
In the maximum weight of parcels; a
material reduction in the postage rates
in the first and second zones, and the
abandonment of the parcel post map
as q means of computing rates and
the substitution for it of a rate chart
individualizeS to every postoffice in
the United States. The plans contem-
plate the purchase of a large number
of automobiles to be used exclusively
for the delivery of parcel post matter.
While, for the present, the maximum
weight limit of 20 pounds and the re-
duction in rates will apply only to the
first and second zones, from any given
postoffice-a distance of about $50
miles-the changes directed today con-
stitute the first long step towards a
universal extension of the system and
q general reduction in the rates of post
g on parcel matter.
"It is my expectation and belief, .
said Postmaster Genera Burleson,
that eventually-and it may be is or
20 years-the postal service will han
die practically all Of the small pack
age transportation business in the
United States. The maximum weight
limit, extended now from IL pounds to
20 pounds, l expect to see increased to
100 pounds, and experience may dem
onstrate the practicability of handling
the parcel business at even lower rates
than we now propose.
I'm the making of extensions and re-
auctions of rates it is necessary for us
to proceed with caution, SO as to af-
ford ample opportunity to prepare for
the increased business. For that rea-
son we have made the changes pro-
posed apply only to the first and sec
ond zones. T appreciate fully the senti-
ment for an increase in the weight linn
it and a reduction in rates to all zones
but it is necessary for US, in a sense,
to feel our way"
The rate of postage on parcels weigh
ing in excess of our ounce in the pro-
posed first zone will be reduced from
5 cents for the first pound and 1 cent
for each additional pound or fraction
thereof to 5 cents for the first pound
and l cent for ZACH additional two
pounds or fraction thereof, and the
rate for the second zone will be re-
duced from 5 cents for the first pound
and 3 cents for eacn additional pound
or 6 cents for he first pound and
cents for each additional pound or frac.
ton thereof to 5 cents for the frs
pound and l cent for each additional
