BRITISH POSTAGE STAMPS

IN COMMEMORATION

NOTABLE DEPARTURE BY CON- SERVATIVE DEPARTMENT

THE NEW ISSUES

London, Yesterday. For the second time only in its history. the British Post Office is about to issue commemorative post- age stamps.

The British Post Office, which in- troduced the postage stamp, has since 1840, preserved a uniform at titude averse to the use of stamps for commemorative or similar pur-

poses.

In connection, however, with the Postal Union Convention, which assembles in a few weeks in Lon- don, five kinds of stamps are to be on sale at all Post Offices for three months in place of those of ordinary design.

Their values are to be a d, Id. 11⁄2d, 232d, and £1.

It is interesting to note the re- vival of the stamp. Issues of adhesive stamps of this value were abolished fourteen years ago, and the revival is for this occasion only. -British Wireless Service.
