phasized the fact that
this present-day common convenience,
millions of which are used every
day, Is of comparatively recent adop-
ton. For this stamp, an English one
bearing the likeness of Queen Victoria,
Is still attached to the envelope on
which it was used and bears the post
mark bath, May 2, 1840." This means
that the postage stamp In its present
form Is less than a hundred years
old.
The first postage stamps in the
United States were put on sale in
New York on July J., 1S47. Previous
to that time, postage stamps were is
sued by private companies doing a
general express or local delivery sery-
fee of letters. On January 1, 1872,
the City Dispatch Post, otherwise
known as Greig's Post, was estab-
iished in New York city, and it is
said that this Post issued the first adj
hesive stamp used in this country.
But the use of these private stamps
proved such an annoyance to the gov
eminent that it was suppressed and
In its place the United States City
Dispatch Post was established.
In the early days of the United
States postal system the receiver Of a
letter paid for its delivery according
to the number Of sheets Of paper
which the letter contained. In 1915
this system was discarded and the
weight system was adopted with
lower rate. About the same time
came the envelope to give secrecy to
letters. Prepayment Of postage and
the use of gummed stamps were put
into use in 1S47. During the first fis-
cal year of their use postmasters were
supplied with S60.SS0 postage stamps
to be sold to the public. Now, So
years later, the Post Office department
is supplying some 14,OO0.O0O,O 900
stamps every year to the $4,000 post
masters in the United Statesl
Since the first gummed stamps were
issued in lS47. there have been a
dozen distinct series of regular post
age stamps with additions to each
after their issue. Only 16 of our Pres
idents have been honored by having
sheir portraits appear on our stamps,
while 10 other persons prominent in
American history have been thus re-
membered.
Washington and Franklin have been
honored in every regular series OF
stamps from the beginning and JEFF
ferson and Lincoln have seldom been
omitted. The other Presidents pic
tured on various issues are: Madison,
Monroe, Jackson. Taylor, Grant,
Hayes, Garfield. Cleveland, Harrison,
Mckinley, Roosevelt, Harding and
Wilson. Memorial stamps also have /
been issued for Lincoln on his one
Ahundredth birthday anniversary in
1909, for Harding shortly after his
, death, and for John Ericsson, the in
ventor, on the occasion of the unveil-

AYSSOVIET SEEKS
TO FOMENT REVOLT
BY DUMPING WHEAT
Former Executive Of Trading
Corporation Tells of Rus
sian Policy

New York, Sept. 25.-(P)-The New
York Times today quotes Basil w.
Delgass. former vice president of the
Amtorg Trading corporation, as say
ing the dumping Of wheat and other
commodities is fixed policy Of the
soviet government designed to foment
revolution in other countries.
DelgasS recently was declared an
outlaw by the soviet government and
his property confiscated because he
refused to go to Moscow and explain
his resignation from the Amtorg, the
soviet commercial agency in this
country.
Russia" he said, presents the
extraordinary spectacle of a country
being starved and Impoverished by
a government pursuing the fantastic
policy Of depriving its own people Of
the things they desperately need In
order to dump them abroad at cheap
prices as means Of creating disor-
ganization, discomfort and revolution
in other countries.
"There Is also another aim to this
policy. namely that of obtaining cap
ital for the soviet industrilization
plan."
Colonel Douglas Sunday, a member
Of the produce exchange. told the
Times that information obtained by
him from England indicated Russia
has 10000, 900 bushels of wheat to sell
equal in quality to United States
winter wheat which is being offered
at IL cents bushel under the Amer
lean price.
Want to Sell Now
"They have apparently made up
their minds that this is the time to
sell and they want to sell their sur
plus before the Australian and Ar
gentine wheat Is on the market in
December" he said. :

GROUP DISCUSSES
TRADE IN FUTURES
Attorney Says Chicago Board Of
Trade Sympathizes With
Government

Washington, Sept. 25.-(R-The
whole question of dealing in grain
futures was discussed at confer
ence here today between Secretaries
Hyde and Lamont, Chairman Legge
of the farm board and three members
Of the Chicago board of trade.
Silas H. StraWn, counsel for the
Chicago board, said after the confer
ence that the board entertained a
friendly and sympathetic considera-
ton for the government in its efforts
in dealing with the alleged short-sell-
ing of wheat by agencies of the
soviet government.
There is not the slightest hostility
between the board and the govern
ment," Mr.. Strawn added
He would not go into details re-
garding the conference. Answering
questions put by newspapermen, he
said it was his personal opinion the
short selling OF 100000 bushels of
wheat would not depress prices. This
is the amount mentioned by Secre-
tary Hyde as having been sold short
on behalf of the Russian government
in his charges that attempts to de-
press prices apparently were involved.

SEEuIT'TLE CHANCE
FORU.S. TOCHANCE
/. POLICY ON RUSSIA
Recognition Of soviets Now
Farther in Background Than
at Any Recent Time

Washington. Sept. 25.-R- Ever
present as possible change IN
American foreign policy. the question
Of recognition Of the Soviet govern
ment by the United States appeared
today to have been pushed further
into the background than at any
other time since President Hoover
took office.
AS enunciated by Charles Evans
Hughes when secretary OF state, the
American policy with regard to the
Soviets was that q settlement must
be made Of official and private obli-
cations Of Russia to the United States
and its citizens and the Soviet must
cease the spreading Of propaganda
designed to overthrow American In
titutions. This policy was continued
as that Of the Coolidge and Hoover
administrations.
At the time President Hoover took
office there was considerable specu-
lation that the United States xouAd
recognize the Communist government
Prominent writer's even went so far
as to predict that recognition would
be extended within two years after
Inauguration day.
With the halfway mark OF the
Hoover administration term rapidly
approaching, however, officials today
remarked the position of the two
countries is probably further apart
than at any period since 1922 VIXEN
Ambassador Boris Bakhmetieff of the
provisional government closed ire old
imperial embassy here.
During the past year, officials here
remarked, there have been steady
procession of events which have
tended to retard rather than help the
cause Of supporters Of the Soyiet In
this country.
It was pointed ou. that the Suviet's
reply to Secretary Stimson's plea for
adherence to the principles Of the
Kellogg pact during the Chinese
Soviet difficulties was construed In
high admiration quarters as dis
tinct affront to the american govern
ment.
During the past IL ncnt.ls publicity
attending an investigation of Soviet
propaganda and commercial activities
in this country by a house committee
is considered by officials to have
strengthened non-recognition senti-
ment.
Russian invasion of the American
market with products ranging from
matches to manganese has stirred
much industrial and labor opposition
to the Soviet regime this year, while
recognitionists are considered by
some here to have suffered in the
furore over Russian speculative trad
ing In the Chicago wheat pit.
The extent of Russian repudiated
obligations to American citizens is
estimated roughly at $400, 0,000, 600.
There s also a $187, 900 900 credit ex-
tended by the United States to the
provisional government which followed
the czar and $86, 600 900 .-of Russian
bonds sold privately in this country.
