POSTAGE STAMPS OCEAN STEAM SHIP CO, LTD.

(By A PHILATELIST)

London, Feb. 15. The question asked in the House of Commons about a new Argen- tine postage stamp which shows the Falkland Islands as part of the Argentine draws attention to the political implications of pic- not the torial stamps; but it is Brst instance of its kind.

When a series of stamps was Issued by the Falkland Island in 1933 to mark the centenary of Bri- tish occupation, the threepenny value showed a map of the islands and the pound value a portrait of King

say. George. Needless to these stamps

inscribed in English and the values given in sterling.

were

The Argentine Government, however, refused to recognise them, and were very annoyed that Britain should commemorate her occupation, although stamps show- ing the head of the British Sover- eign had been used in the Falk- land Islands since 1878.

In 1898 the Venezuela Post Office Issued a series of six stamps be- tween July 4 and Nov. 4, com- memorating Francisco" Miranda, a Boldier-adven- Spanish-American turer, who was a Venezuelan by birth. He landed at Caracas from and proclaimed Europe in 1808 Venezuela a Republic.

A LONG DISPUTE

For many years there had been a dispute between British Guiana and Venezuela over the boundary between these two countries. The design of the Miranda stamps was a map which marked the boun- daries between British Guiana and Venezuela. Needless to say, the Venezuelan version of the bound- ary was marked. The quarrel be- tween the two countries became intense.

President Claveland even stated that, should: Great Britain 'enforce the boundaries upon Venezuein without resort to arbitration, it would be considered as a cause of war. A few years later; however, the boundary question was settled. At the beginning of this century another series of postage stamps closer than this to came even causing a war. In 1900 a set of rine stamps appeared which had been printed in New York and were issued under the authority of the Dominican Republic. The Dominican Republic and Halt! share a fairly large laland in the West Indies, and the map on these a. boundary be- stampa showed tween the two countries in accord- ance more with the Dominican
