to be fixed by the despatching Administration, which is to retain the full postage on all outgoing parcels. It is not stated what arrangements are proposed to be adopted, or what route is to be followed for conveying parcels from Hong Kong to the United States; but the Postmaster General presumes that the Government of Hong Kong is satisfied as to the adequacy of the proposed postage rate of 6d. a pound, notwith- standing that, with the maximum weight limited, as the United States demands, to 4 pounds 6 ounces, the highest postage on a single parcel would, at this rate, be 2s. 6d. only, and the average much less.
