LARGE DEFICIT POSTAL SERVICE UNITED STATES Total Operating Loss For Year of Nearly Thirty-eight Millions REDUCED FROM LAST YEAR. WASHINGTON. loe. 7. Kx- iraordinary increase in business eerely taxed the ability of the postal sen ice under inadequate appropriation last year but "a1 most gratifying decrease .in the postal deficit," amounting to approximately $30,000,000 from lliej previous year's deficit, was! brought ,about through economies. Postmaster General New: informed President Coolidge to-i day in his annual report. "It would be an ideal condition' if the department could become j elf-sulaining, with postage; and service charges so adjusted as to equal justice to all the using public." said Mr. New. "To attain this end, each class of, ura i I matter need not necessarily contribute it entire estimated cost. Public policy, for instance. has long recognized the special claims for publications fur the dissemination of Information of a1 public character, .or devoted toj literature, the sciences, or arts. I It is a wise policy and makes tutt: the general good and I tie pulili welfare. On the ottier public policy, as evidenced by the act of Comrress establishing the parcel post system, favors the principle that rales for such matter shall equal the cost of the ervice. This, too, is a wise pol icy. Tor there is no souml reason why the government should con duct a parcel business, so analo gous to express on principles other than those of sound Expenditure Large The postal revenues for the year were compared the expenditures, obligations and losses $570,823,232. compared with 552.i5.732 in' 1122.

In contrast he noted that the nuiikher of clerks in creased only 57.8 per cent, Idler carriers 27.0 per cent, railway postal clerks 13.2 per cent, and rural carriers 3.2 per cent from 1913 to 1922 inclusive.
