EMPIRE POSTAGE.

EMPIRE POSTAGE. In a letter to the Times, Mr G. D. Love writes:—"lt would be a splendid innovation if the postage stamps of all British Colonies, Dependencies, and Protectorates were to have impressed upon them the words 'British Empire Postage.' The idea is that all the postage stamps of the Empire might be of one design, the only difference being the names of the dominions from which they are issued and the amounts. The stamps could be uniform in color throughout the Empire, the Id stamp of the United Kingdom being of the same color as jjbiQ Id stamp of New Zealand or the> <

2c stamp of Canada, and so on. The United Kingdom postage stamps should also bear the words 'British Empire Postage,' for at present they give no indication of the country of origin. It is understood that Mr Henniker Heatqn intends to bring the matter before the members,of the' Imperial Conference in May." r .
