Now, however, Sir Joseph Ward has received a cablegram from the Postmaster-General at Washington advising that from this time forward the rate of postage on letters from the United' States to Now .Zealand ivill be made uniform with that on letters from New Zealand to the States. Sir Joseph Ward naturally regards this concession with' great .satisfaction.
