NO PENNY POSTAGE.
POSITION IN AUSTRALIA. MEAN A LOSS OF £BOO,OOO. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Melbourne, Sept. 23. Mr. Gibson, Postmaster-General, interviewed on his return from England, said he could hold out no hope of penny postage. He was trying to run the post office on a business basis and a return to penny postage would mean a loss of £BOO,OOO. The decision of the Stockholm Conference to reduce transit charges 25 per cent, would mean a loss of £20,000 to Australia, and the question of Australia withdrawing from the Postal Union in view of this decision would have to be considered.
