It was pointed out that tho city,
to maintain or Increase Its activity
In the trado world, must spend large

Roods manufactured horn to merchants In

TWO-CENT POSTAGE TO AID
SOUTH AMERICA TRADE
Congiess Iieatlers Advocate Reduction
of Present Rnto on Mails.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13 -As n. further
stimulus to the commerco between the
United States and South America, It Is
proposed by Congress leaders who spe
cialize In postal matters that steps be
taken to obtain a 2-ceiit postage rate to
those, countries that will consent to
an arrangement of this chat actor. It
requires at present a B-ccnt stamp to
carry a letter to South America, and the
argument Is being presented that It would
be a long stride townnl a closer commer
cial relationship If that part of the world
could be placed on tho same basis with
respect to mall charges as Is now enloyed
by England. Germanj , Canada, Mexico
and Panama,
Ileprcsentatlve James T. Lloyd, of Mis
souri, for many years a. member of the
House Postofllco Committee and a close
rtttdent of postal nffalrs, today said that
thero was a general sentiment nmong
members of the House and Senate In fa
vor of this proposed reduced postag"
The change would Involve a series of
postal treaties to bo negotiated between
thp t'nlted Stntes and each of the coun
tries which are willing to enter Into the
new arrangement. These treaties would
bo made In behnlf of the United States
by tho Postmnster General and would be
similar to those now existing between
this country nml those with which the
two-cent rate now applies.
The postal arrangements with the South
American nations ale the result of this
rountn's connection with the Universal
Postal Union. To countries nutsldo the
Union the first class postage rate Is 20
cents nn ounce.
A l.-ilnt resolution, tho adoption of which
would Indicate the sentiment of Congress
on the question of lower rate, Is contem
plated n- some of tho leaders
