 Republicans declared at the outset of the meeting that they would com bat any attempt to write into the bill the $445, GOO, 900 difference between the original total of the measure and the secretary's latest war cost estimate. Pressure for such proposal they de- clared, would result in abandonment of their agreement to support the com mittee measure.
 Convinced of the inequality of the zone rate system on second class mail matter now contained in the bill, the committee virtually decided to substi- tute the Moon proposal, once included in a postofHce bill. which would fix a fiat rate of one cent pound on read IF matter and the parcel post zone rs te on advertising matters. Under this pan publishers would make their returns to the postoffce department and be charged accordingly. This pro- posal. as well as the one to lower the automobile and musical instrument 5 per cent. tax now contained in the bill, will receive further consideration as the daily meetings of the committee progress.
