A Huge Postal
Deficit This Year

WASHINGTON, Dec 14.-Opera-
tion of the United States postal serv-
ice for the fiscal year 1920 resulted in
deficit of s17.270,4 ,4S2-the second
largest in the history of the service
Postmaster General Burleson shows
in his annual report to the President.
in which expenditures of the post
office department are placed at s45i,-
322,609 and revenues at S437 7.150,2l2.
The postmaster general charges Con-
gress with direct responsibility for
the deficit exp aiming that the ex-
penditures included approximately
S33, ,202 800 paid as war bonus to pos
tai employees and stating that but for
this there would have been a surplus
of S1S,427.917. Mr.. Burleson says he
declined to approve the bonus action
of the legislative department, adding
that he had offered suggestions OF an
other plan for compensating the en-
ployes which would have served the
purpose without at the same time Civ
ing a blanket increase in pay to the
thousands who were already amply
compensated"
Reference also is made to the deci-
sion OF the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, granting the railway addi-
tional pay aggresating $S,103,SS9 for
carrying the mails. This served like
wise to offset Increases IN postal re
ceipts, Mr.. Burleson declares.
In his discussion OF his administra-
ton OF the postal service. the post
master general says:
THE present postal administration
has been one OF continuous and per
manent progress and improvement.
Nothing has been left undone that
was within the authority of the post
master general to do to effect read
justments in the interests of the peo-
pie as a whole and not in that of any
special class"
Receipts from postage on mail ag-
gregated s391552 POS. a decrease pf
1.T6 per cent from last year. OF the
total amount s3s,06O.795 was derived
from mailings on which the postage
was paid in money. He points out
that the total postage bill was equiv
alent to 1855 per capita for the ma
tion's population.
Parcel post revenues aggregate ap-
proximately s150.O0O. 900 or $4,000, 900
more than in this, previous year. Post
age on second class mailings produced
s25.107 .S41, an increase of more than
SO 100000 over 1919.
There has been IAN immense IN
crease" in the amount of mail handled
free by the postal service. Mr.. Burle-
son declares, adding that the free
