The Federation of Chambers of Commerce of the British Empire at its recent congress in London called on certain Dominions and Colonics of the Empire which did not participate In the “small packets post” which permits' all dutiable goods up to 21b in weight being sent by letter post at less than ordinary letter rates, to study the possibility of coming into line with the rest of the Empire, thus placing at the disposal of the British commercial community a very useful facility.
