PACKET POST
IMPROVED FACILITIES. TRANSMISSION FROM OVERSEAS. (Per United Press Association.) Wellington, April 6. Improved facilities are now available for the transmission to New Zealand of small packets by post. The Federation of the Chambers of Commerce of the British Empire at its recent congress in London called on certain dominions and colonies of the Empire which did not participate in the small packets post (which permits all dutiable goods up to two pound in weight being sent by letter post at less than ordinary letter rates) to stud'* 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. New Zealand being one of the Empire countries so far outside the scheme, the Associated Chamber of Commerce took the matter up with the Post and Telegraph Department here. The department has advised that from July 1 it is prepared to accept small packets from all countries accepting small packets from New Zealand.
