This ceremony today has an especial
significance to the people OF the City
of New York, for it was there that the
Government of the United States be-
gan its functions under the Constitu-
ton, and there was first organized the
General Post ONCE, as It was then
called. I extend greetings to those who
are assembled in that city today to
celebrate these beginnings Of our Gov
eminent and to do honor to Washing
tons memory.
In those beginning days the country
was sparsely settled, travel was difncult,
post offices were widely separated and
the postal service was primitive, slow
and costly. But it was the sole means
of communication among the States,
and the new Government acted Wig
orously to increase its efficiency BY
the time of the removal of the Govern
ment to the District of Columbia in the
year 1900 the United States Post Once
was firmly established. .
Postal facilities were looked upon by
our early statesmen not merely Is an
end in themselves, but as a powerful
fundamentally for national unity and
national growth. In the first years OF
the Republic the mails followed the
pioneers into our inland territory, and
as the great tide Of migration set
toward the West 1t was rapidly multi
plying post routes and the dependable
communication which they afforded
with the Eastern seaboard that made
possible the eventual extenAorl Of our
frontiers to the Pacific.

Since those early days the postal
service has been q factor second to no
other in the upbuilding and develop
