Maintaining 4 Service

POSTMASTER General Summerfield IS
4 working a squeeze play on Congress to
appropriate SAT million to carry the post
office department to June 30, 1857. The
postal service lacks this sum to assure the
service If this deficit appropriation is not
made the Postmaster General will order
curtaiment of service, and the mails Will
be slowed to nearly stop with no delivery
service on Saturdays
II appears that the Postmaster General
has completely lost, or never had, the spirit
of the L. S. mail service. He had curtailed
the service considerably in recent years. by
disseminating directory service in the cities
Ii the complete correct address is not on
the letter or parcel, returns are ordered
without an effort to make delivery. There
was time when the slogan. THE mail
must go through, meant what it said and
every effort was made to make delivery Of
mail. promptly. Things have changed.
&. S. mail service has been outstanding
in the development Of the United States. It
is essentially a government function, a
monopoly. whose first objective should be
service. ne bfllIlant history OF service ~
the general public should not be overlook
ed in the current squeeze for operating
funds
Congress, also, has before it recommen-
dations for increases in postal rates. First
class letters would be raised to five cents,
and increases made on other classes of
mail. There is such thing as pricing
yourself out Of the market. and it appears
to a. 5hat the proposed raise to five cents
will tend to do this
Mr.. Summerfield is determined to put
The postoffice department on a self-sus-
tanning basis. Such is impossible, if good
service is to be maintained. 1t seems that
the department analysts have overlooked
tine existence Of ready-to-serve cost. For

Foreign Aid to Asia

OF course. if aid is reduced, these coun-
tries will object strenuously. and Johnston
noted that even though they may protest
strongly, cuts in aid are justified.
The Johnston report is highly interest
ing, since it concludes that the original pro-
grams of military and economic aid in this
area were necessary and that they have
achieved the intended results.
However,. he believes loans should now
replace grants and that military and eco
nomic aid can be cut down. The key con-
clusion Of the report is that Communist ag
gression is not an immediate critical dan
ger, and that, therefore, u. S. aid could be
trimmed lest it tempt certain military ven
lures or clashes. Johnston also believes the
greatest opportunity for economic recovery
in these countries lies in program giving
private enterprise a chance to show what
it can do.
In general his conclusion is logical,
namely, that this country should see to it
that its aid to our allies in this area is
greater than our aid to neutral countries.
Certainly, where Communist aggression is
not imminent, or a critical danger as con-
Germs a neutral country in this area, our
aid program should be reviewed, and if it
is found that it is contributing to ''Windfall
profits" Of foreign merchants, and keeping
certain cliques in power in these countries,
then it certainly can be reduced

CLEMENT D.-Johnston, chairman OF the
~ board Of the T. s. Chamber Of Com
marce. has reported to special Senate
committee Investigating foreign aid, John
ston has visited and studied the e. S. aid
program in Eietnam. Thailand, Cambodia,
Laos, Burma and Indonesia.
He undertook the study at the request Of
the committee and his report was released
by the committee The highlights of John
stons report was an estimate that this
country is wasting at least twenty million
dollars a month by supporting the curren-
cies of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia at the
arbitrary rate Of IS piastres. or other cur
rency to the dollar
Johnston says the free market rate is rs
piastreS and the black market rate from
100 to 20 He noted that some of these ma
tions are using L. s. funds to build and
equip armed forces whose officers and men
think in terms of ancient hostilities and
rivalries
Johnston says the Southeast Asia Treaty
Organization (SEATO). with it's implied
promise of unlimited American support
against Communist aggression, should be
the basic support Of the military forces of
Cangbodia, Laos. Thailand, South Vietnam
and other Asian countries He believes the

Just as important as the business which re-
ceived thousands of letters a day. There is
a ready -to-serve cost which must be met
regardless Of the volume Of mail delivered.
Our contention is that the general public,
through tax monies must share in this
ready -to-serve cost. Congress has a re-
sponsibility in providing sufficient funds
to make possible this ready-to-serve cost
We base this opinion on the premise that
the postal service will be economically OPP
Grated and on business-like basis. Con
gress could well investigate this phase of
the operation. No doubt some procedures
could be instituted to increase efficiency
and reduce cost. An overall study could
we'll point to these possibilities.
First-class mail rates must be kept low
to assure volume and to provide service.
Some Of the many other activities Of the
postal system might be curtailed OF the
rates increased - for example, money
orders, savings bonds, parcel post, insured
mail, registered mail, printed envelopes,
etc. Second class mail principally publica-
TONS has been increased so percent within
the past three years. Because these publ
cations, in general. are necessary for the
dissemination Of public information pre-
ferential rates may be justified.
Congress is in the squeeze, and viii prob
ably vote the deficit appropriation for con
tinuation Of the full postal service without
curtailment At the same time a peep into
the efficiency of operation Of the postal
service might be helpful
