Cannot Afford to Agree to Lower‘th0 Rates of Pootago. BERLIN. August 27.-i’ostnraster- General Payne’s suggestion that the time is at hand for a moment postage petween the United States”. Germany and Great Britain although the sub- Ject of favorable comment in the press, is not regarded at the ministry of I’osts as feasible. Such 1.1 proposal in the international postal congress would bring out an instructive interchange of vieWs. but the German postal delegates would be against its adoption. Were Germany to reach a two-cent agree- ment with the United States, it would be expicted also by her neighbors, Switze rand, Belgium, Franch and Hoi- land Consequently the question must be considered by Germany as a propos- al for a one unittpostage with all cotta- trles. This would reduce the reve. nues by many million marks. a reduc- tion in income to which the finance ministry is not likely to consent. The Amsterdam chamber of commerce not long ago asked the Netherlands govern- ment to arrange a domestic rate of postage “with Germany, but the Dutch government decline to act in the mat- ter.
