Présentation de l'éditeur
Resolved, That the Federal Government should establish a Parcels Post. INTRODUCTION I. It has been claimed that A. Our postal rates on third and fourth class matter are exorbitant as compared with those in foreign countries. B. Foreign parcels post systems afford many conveniences which we do not have. II. An extension of our present parcels post system is demanded. A. Bills providing for it have been presented to Congress. B. Postmasters-G eneral Wanamaker, Meyer, and others have tried to secure it. C. It has been recommended in presidential messages, in conventions, by postal officials and by the people. III. The plan which has received most favorable attention is that of Postmaster-G eneral Meyer, providing for A. A general parcels post at the rate of I2c a pound, with a limit in weight of eleven pounds. B. A rural parcels post at the rate of 5c for the first pound, 2c for each additional pound, limit of weight eleven pounds. AFFIRMATIVE The Affirmative is in favor of the Parcels Post, for I. The United States government would benefit financially. A. The receipts from the increased volume of business would more than repay the loss from the reduction in rate.
