\ WASHINGTON, March 2.—Senator
John W. Weeks, of Massachusetts,
said today that the American people
have a just right to expect Congress
to consider enacting a law creating
general one cent letter postage in this
country.
“in expressing myself on the sub
ject of a cheaper letter rate,” Sena-
tor Weeks said, “1 well understandl
the conditions of the postal financesl
at the presents time. Under no Cir-g
cumstances would i be in favor oil
creating a larger deficit in order to:
reduce the rate on any one class 01"
But in considering the sub»

0r.'l. A. null delivers an Interest-
ing and Instinctive Address
There was a line attendance at the
Trinity Boys' Club. last evening. Lieu-
tenant Keyworth gave the members a
thorough drill in military tactics, the
boys showing increased efficiency. ,
After the drill Dr. J. A. Meetgave a
thoroughly interesting, carefully pre«
pared lecture, in language chosen so
simply that the youngest "kiddoo" in
the bunch could get some idea of the
delicate structure of the eye. He first
explained the structure. and then con-
structed a diagram of theoptic on the
blackboard, explaining each part and
its functions. He then exhibited three
eyes from pigs. One of them he had
carefully dissected the muscles and
had them spread on a board, so that
the process could be clearly under-
stood. Then he divided the boys' into
classes of mail pay as nearly as pos-;
sible what it actually costs the Gov-l
ernment to handle it.~ i know that.
lsonie publishers are reported to be.
much worked up over the prospect ol‘.‘
an increase in the, second class rate,i
but i have talked with some of the4
largest periodical publishers and they
informiaqle that they would not op-
pose un'lncrdosdain the second-class
rate if there. was .any ,gispositlon
shown to place, the‘.l-‘ost :0tflce De
piirtment on a business basis.
"in some respects sthey perhapsI
have reason to feel that the depart-i
ment is not being run as economical-‘
{y as a private business. But in any
case there is no reason why the first-
class mailers should be forced to pay
more to take care of this condition
tbpn those who get the benefit of the
second, third or fourth classes.
Making Large Profit.
“The Government is making a
large profit from first-class mail, just
how much it is hard to say. but it
must be nearly one cent of every two
paid for each stamp placed on a let-
ter. And the profit derived on drop
letters or letters for delivery in the
same city or town in which they are
mailed must be even greater. in view
of this condition, I believe that Con-
gress shodld take up the matter of
more equitably sdlusting the rates of
postage. It will be a difficult under-
taking.” said Senator Weeks, “but the
American people have a just right to
expect that. some early action be taken
giving the general users of the mails
one-cent letter postage." . ‘

of cal’rying it into cficct.
President Wilson refused to discuss the subject in
detail, but said that no nation has the right to change the

its previously announced position, but will continue. to
make efforts to have the bclligcrents rcspcct American
