ANGLO-AMERICAN PENNY POSTAGE.
(Received B.S a.m.l LONDON", March 17. "The Daily Express states that the coming Budget will provide for penny postage between Great Britain and the Lnited States of America. i I A resolution passed by the Imperial ■ Conference last year read as follows:— ' "That in view of the social and political '■ advantages, and the material commercial i advantages to accrue from a system of international penny postage, this Confer- < ence recommends to His Majesty's Go- ) vernment the advisability, if and when < a suitable opportunity occurs, of approaching the Governments of other < States, members of the Universal Postal ' L'nion, in order to obtain further re- : ductions of postage rates, with a view to a more general, and. if possible, a universal adoption of the penny rate." Immediately after the earlier Postal , Congress at Rome, which decided against Universal Penny Postage, a. movement began in England in favour of a special agreement with the United States.
