Lid OFF Observation-Disclosures Mans
Accounting Exhibits Facts.

Chicago, Dec. 22.-Gen. Charles G.
Dawes made public here the sup
pressed balance sheet OF the postOiiice
department Of the United States gov
eminent.
'F0r the first time In the history Of
this country" the former director of
the budget asserted. "there was pre-
pared not only a balance sheet of the
postoiiice departments In terms under
standable by the average man, but a
report In the accepted business form
Of the current operations OF the de-
partment FOR the first quarter of this
year"
This report shows a deficit Of &c.,
l9S.OOO for the FIRST quarter OF 1922.
This Is NJ the rate OF SGI,O0O,OOO for
the year.
For years the public has been given
the impression that the p0stoilice de-
parment was self-sustaining or nearly
So. Government ownership advocates
continually use the federal postal sys-
tenn as an efficient revenue producing
institution as an example which IL
would bee well FOR the city Of Chicago
10 follow.
The postal system has been repeat
edly urged. locally and nationally as
a model Of government operation on
pr0nt-making basis.
The report made public by General
Dawes indicates that emphasis should
be placed on "other causes" when the
department as on Dec. 3-ascribes the
deficit FOR this year TO fire. burglary
and other causes"
