The pound sterling, weakening steadily under the pressure of the expected debt payment of $95.5O0,- 900 by Britain to the United States on Dec 15. slumped sharply In the world markets today, touching its lowest point in 12 years.
 The price of gold meanwhile went up in London and the gloom fest predictions were made about further collapse of sterling and the improbability of Britain re- turning to the gold standard if the debt payments are continued.
 On the other hand, the French franc and certain other currencies showed strength.
 Sterling broke to $3.21 IA in trading at London, 6 loss of nearly 2 cents from yesterday and only 4 cents above the record low of $3.1Y established on February 3, 1920, in the post-war defiation period, Par of the currency is $4,86G5.

Postoffice to Insist on Right to
Monopoly in Carrying Letter Mail

Washington. June %. -R-
Alert to plans for avoiding new
high postage rates, the govern
ment Is going to insist on its right
to the monopoly Of carrying let
tiers.
The increase in postage rates
from 2 to 3 cents, effective July 6,
has caused public utility compa-
MES and other organizations using
the mails to distribute their
monthly bills to consider other
means. In some cities use of men
now unemployed has been sug-
gested.
The increased postage and the
tax on bank checks. with which
many bills are paid are said by
business men to involve a contri.
button Of II cents on each bill
paid by mail with a check. At
that rate every 100000 bills would
mean contribution of $1,000 to
the government. Hiring private
carriers at modest wages would
save money for both the COM
panies and their customers, they
say.
The post office department,
however. points out the postal

laws do not permit anyone to en-
ter into competition with the pos
tai service in carrying letters.
There is no objection to a COM
pany using its own employees for
deliveries. but two or more COM
panies will not be allowed to use
the same employe. nor hire
messenger or other delivery serv-
ice to deliver their bills.
The law provides a fine of not
more than $500 or Imprisonment
OF rot more than six months, or
both. for using such means. The
person delivering bills for more
than one company would be liable.
to a fine of not more than $50 for
each letter.
w. Irving Glover, second assist
ant postmaster general. has di-
rected all postmasters to report
promptly any cases coming to
their attention. He told postmas-
tiers numerous reports had been
received that on accoun: Of the

This will be prevented wherever
