Very interesting facts were dis- closed in a recent discussion in the |United States Senate, on a proposal to increase the rates of parcel post. It appears that the estimated postal revenues showed deficit of |$185,000,000, and Senator McKellar stated that his first suggestion was to "repeal the Act by which there are given to the great shipping interests of the country through the Postmaster-General, a great many million dollars that are charged to the Post Office Depart- ment." That expenditure he urged, aught not to be charged to it, and Senator Black proceeded to set out comparisons of payments which. would be made "under normal rates" to a dozen American lines and those which were actually paid. As examples, according to this statement, the normal pay- ment to the American South Afri- | can Line would have been $375 and
