R 6

In February the rate on postcards sent to China was raised from 1 cent to 13 cents in order to conform to the Chinese domestic rate.

The year under review was the twentieth anniversary of the introduction of penny postage from Hongkong to Great Britain and vice versa. During the year the rate of postage was raised to 1d. in Great Britain as a war measure, but our 4 cent rate had been raised to a little more than this amount by the high rate of exchange. The 4 cent rate has therefore been maintained.

S. B. C. Ross,
Postmaster General.

6th July, 1919.
