HISTORY OFTHE POSTAL CARD
THEN---AND

Forty five years ago today the worlds
first postal card was issued by tke Aus
trian post Office officials nj Vienna. The
first in the United States appeared four
years later. after public demand forced
this government concession. The prin.
cipal official argument against the pos.
tai card was that such open communica-
tion offered AN excellent opportunity for
the writer Of libel To exercise his nef-
arious work. Onici u opposition met with
a popular clamor in other countries and
various were the methods IL force gov.
ernments To follow .iustria's lead. An
English army officer i'm India. where he
missed the postal card he had become
accustomed 10 in England. forced the In
dian government 10 capitulate. The gov
ernment hal claimed there was no pop
ular demand for postal cards. The off.
Ger set cut To demonstrate that there was
lie had postal cards bearing his own
name and rank printed. and used them
entirely for his own correspondence. Of
course chewing the postal regulations by
afixinc stamps equal To letter rate post
age. He induced his friends to follow
his example. The resulting fIoud OF pos
tai cards aroused the government. The
army officer was ordered 10 discontinue
his cards. He replied that if he chose
To write messages ON a piece of card
board instead Of ON sheets Of paper. the
p~ostohice authorities could not compel
hlm 70 enclose the card in an envelope.
The legal advisers Of the government
sustained his claim. and India was
forced TO adopt the postal card. reducing
the rate To a half Of the letter postage.
