pays its way" and breaks even"
1t means that 100000 has been
taken from the mass OF the
ordinary users OF the malls to pay
for enterprises which are not
justified by commercial reasons but
only by reasons Of state.
The Postoffice Department states
that it will break even" in the
next fiscal year. 1t fears an
ensuing deficit" however, Of
So, 900, 900 annually If the new
postal pay increase bill is passed.
The facts given In this article
show that the proposed postal pay
increase ought to be accepted or
rejected on its human merits with
out regard to any deficit" OF that
size.
Every year the Postoffice
Department is performing more
than 100000 worth of services
which are q proper burden upon
the government as a whole and not
upon postal patrons.
A prospective deficit Of $68 zoo, 900
cannot logically be used as an argu-
ment for raised postage rates.
The proposed raises should strenu-
ously and emphatically be resisted
by all users at any rate OF the
first-class and second-class and
third-class mails.
In the case Of the fourth-class,
which is the parcel post, another
argument appears which might in
deed justify us in easily raising
from that class alone a sum Of
money fully adequate to getting
rid Of any prospective deficit If
Congress really wishes to make

Compromise Bill on
Postal Rates and
Pay May Be Passed
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINS

international News Service.
A temporary increase Of postal
rates, effective for a single year,
doomed today as a compromise
solution to the Administration
problem Of financing the $6S, 000,-
900 wage advance to postoffice
employees.
Under this plan, Administration
leaders would materially amend
the Postoffice Departments new
rate schedule in the Sterling bill,
which would place the burden of
rate increases upon American
newspapers and magazines. The
compromise would sharply reduce
the departments recommendations
for increases on second class
rates, which apply to publica-
tions.
Agreed to by Leaders.
This action was virtually decided
upon by Administration leaders be-
cause Of the great opposition
leveled at the departments schedule
by publishers and other large users
Of the malls.
The condemnation convinced Ad-
ministration leaders that the Ster-
ling rates could never be enacted
into law, Senator Moses (R.) OF New
Hampshire, chairman of the Senate
committee in charge Of the bill, pro.
posed the compromise.
Il believe that any changes in
postal rates at this time should be
Of temporary character" said Moses.
Congress should initiate an investj-
cation of the whole rate structure
before making any permanent
changes. That is why l offered a
compromise plan, which could be
adopted to provide increased
revenues to meet the pay increases,
for the coming year. Permanent
changes could be made by the next
Congress after sufficient time has
been allowed for a thorough study
OF the rate structure"
The Moses plan Incidentally would
meet one Of the chief objections

raised by publishers, which was that
they had not had enough time to
study the Sterling bill.
They also contended the Sterling
rates did not take into considera-
ton the problem OF public service"
for which the Postoffice Department
was founded.
The Senate Postoffice Committee
met today to study the Moses COM
promise and to draft a report on
the Sterling bill.
It's work was hurried at the re.
quest of administration leaders, who
want the omnibus measure reported
to the Senate by Monday so an eff
fort can be made to substitute it for
the postal pay bill. vetoed last
spring by President Coolidge.
Under an agreement, the Senate
votes next Tuesday on the question
Of overriding the veto. but If the
substitution is made, the President
has indicated he will approve the
pay increases because Congress will
have provided the additional rev.
enue.

Claude Graham White Pro-

BY DAVID NJ. CHURCH.
International News Service.

LONDON, Jan. ga huge under
ground city beneath a city as an
alternative to complete evacuation OF
London in an aerial bombardment
was under discussion by military
experts today.
Plans have been drawn up to pro-
vided London with underground
shelters as a means Of refuge from
air attacks. Claude Graham White,
aeronautical authority, believing the
next war will be fought largely in
the air, and that large cities will
be at the mercy Of air fleets, has
conceived the plan of constructing
large under ground hotels through
out London.
Whites plan would provide for
the safety of the population Of Lou
don for many hours, International
News Service learned today.
He proposes that during peace
times these underground buildings,
which would run six and seven
stories below the street level, be
used for CARA ges, providing q So
luton of the increasing traffic prob
lens and the lack Of parking space.
He points out that the London resi-
Dental area is full of open squares
Gnu PARKS WHICH pTOVIue ample OPP
portunity for the creation of the
subterranean refugees of huge pro-
portions.
Whites plan Is being studied by
experts who agree that the next
war may be almost entirely aerial,
and the nation which is best able to
hold out against air bornbardments
is the most likely to be the winner.
J. B. S. Haidane, well-known bio
logical chemist. has published a
book making its first appearance
today: 1.-THE Defense in Chemical
Warfare
In it he predicts that the next
war will mean the widespread use
Of mustard gas. He says London
is certain to be drenched with gas
bombardmerts from the air, and
suggests that steps be taken i'm
mediately to provide gas masks and
other means of defense for the city's
population.
Haldane says the schools should
instruct their pupils in the use of
masks, and every citizen should be
equipped with Il mask.
