man flying from Italy to Japan, drop
ped down on Manila during a rain
storm today after flying from An
timonan, where he had been held by

his desire to reach Toxic soon. He

largely attended and the transactions
editorial comment" said Mr.. New.
Naturally the witnesses have come
from the ranks Of those whose rates
have been raised and those who fear
that theirs may be. Show mo @ man
who favors any process which takes
money from his pocket. Many of
these witnesses. and many Of our edi-
torial commentators, have suggested
various expedients for getting by
without increasing rates.
II firmly believe no committee or
commission, even though composed of
business men OF ability. are So well
qualified to suggest the best methods
or constructing postage rates as the
postal officials and experts if given an
untrammeled opportunity The Post
Office Department is practically in the
hands OF the Congress in the matter
OF fixing postage rates
Answering critics who advocate a.p-
plication Of business methods" to the
postal service, Mr.. New cited pre-
liminary estimates he has just com.
pleted OF post Office expenditures and
receipts Tor the fiscal year 1927. These
pi4cs expenditures az $3.50, ,0S4 900 and
receipts at ST02 500, 900. OF the eS-
penditures, s661. .307,229 or Ss.1 per
cent, represent fixed charges, such az
salaries and allowances and trans
portation charges. Mr.. New asked
whether any business corporation
would not increase rs rates ;r they
were selling their product below cost -
Taking up suggestions that the
carrying OF mai, free Cor Represents
tives and the Government depart
ments was an Unfair burden on the
service, the Postmaster General said
he had no objection to assessing the
cost OF its mail service against each
Government department, but that this
would be only :. small item in solving
the rate problem.
ITO those who complain OF the rates
of postage. let It be said that ours is
the cheapest mali service in the
worid,' said Mr. New.
The charge that the department is
used as a political machine" was
never SO untrue as It is today. he said,
adding that it was the policy Of the
masters wherever their services have
been satisfactory.
Definite Program Shaping.
A definite program was shaping it
self today from the many sectional
meetings being held as part of the
joint convention at II post Office or
ganiZationS assembled Ior PoStal
week. 1t included the following OBJ
iectives:
Put all postal employees, regardless
of position, under civil service.
Institute a civil service court of ap-
peals.
More pay for postmasters.
Improve the retirement provisions
by lowering the age limit and in
creasins tho pension.
Merge all organizations into one
national body.
In a resolution in the hands OF q
committee OF the National Rural Let
ter Carriers Association. the move
ment for the civil service court Of
Appeals was launched at the same
time as the one proposing that all
postal employees, regardless OF the po-
sition held, be placed under civil serv-
ice rules.
