BRITISH POST OFFICE
ADMIRATION OF WORLD BELGIAN ENVOY'S TRIBUTE British Wireless RUGBY, Jan. 16 The General Post Office is described by the Belgian Ambassador in London, Baron de Marchienne, as an organisation that is the envy and admiration of the entire world. In a speech, after presenting the awards recently made to the Post Office film unit at the International Film Festival in Brussels, the baron said he had Avandered throughout many countries during his diplomatic career but nowhere had he found such excellent postal, telegraph and telephone services as in Britain. The ability Of the staff in tracing obscure persons hidden behind faulty addresses was admirable, if rather uncanny.
The remarkable development in postal and telegraphic communications in Britain in the last few years no doubt had greatly contributed to its economic recovery, which appeared to be spreading slowly but surely throughout the world. Already in the United Kingdom it had reached a stage which called for the admiration and gratification of all other nations.
