TWO-CENT POSTAGE TO AID
SOUTH AMERICA TRADE
Congress Leaders Advocate Reduction
of Present Rate on Malls.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 13.-As a futther
stimulus to tho commerce between the
United States and South America, It Is
proposed by Congress leaders who spe
cialize In postal matters that Rteps bo
taken to obtain a 2-cent postage rate to
those countiies that will consent to
an ariangement of this character. It
requires nt prsent a S-eent stamp to
cany a letter to South Amcilca, nnd the
argument Is being presented that It would
be a Inng stride toward n closer commer
cial relationship If that part of the world
i cuuui Do placed on the sanio basis with
I respect to mall charges ns Is now enjoved
In- Ihigland, Germany, Canada, Mexico
ani ranatna.
ltepicscntntlvo James T. Lloyd, of Mis
sotirl, for many years a member of the
House rostotllco Committee nnd n close
student of postal affairs, today said that
there was a general sentiment nmong
inembeis of the Itmifcc and Senate In fa
or of this proposed reduced postag",
The change would involve a series of
po.tal treaties to be negotiated between
the t'nlted States nnd each of the coun
tries which are willing to enter Into tho
new arrangement. These treaties would
be made In behalf of the United States
by the Postmaster General and would !
similar to thoe now- e'MIng between
this mutitry and those with which the
tun-tent rate now applies.

Ainerkan nations ale the lesult of this
country's connection with tho I'nUcrsal

LITTLE SMUGGLING OF DRUGS
Committee- Investigating in New
York Prisons Reports Decrease.
ALBANY, Sept. 13. -That thcro is com
paratively little smuggling of drugs and
other contraband art class being cnirled
on In tho vnilous stato prisons nt the
present time Is the conclusion reached by
a special committee of the Senate Com
missions which has been Investigating tho
drug traffic in Sing King, Clinton, Auburn
and Gieat Meadow prisons.
Tho coipmllteo attributes tho falling oft
In the trntllc to teccnt Investigations,
publicity and to special care exercised by
the prison ofTlclals.
The icport concludes by declaring that
"thcro Is no reason whv the smuggling of
dings into a priMm should not he wtopped.
ccipt in rate instance" The iiuc-tlon Is
one of cillclent administration."
Foreign Commerce Expert Sees Op
portunity for the United States.
The coincidence of the war and the
opening of the Panama Canal gives tho
United States a chance to double Its
trndc with Australia nnd New Zealand
according to Dr. Albert A. Snowden, for
eign trade commissioner for tho National
Association of Manufacturers. The na
tions of Germany, France, Austria, Bel
gium, Italy, Holland and Switzerland,
which In 1912 supplied Australia with
goods worth $07,447,500 and Now Zealand
with goods worth $3,4S9,DS0, aro practi
cally prevented by mobilizations or actual
mllltniy operations from producing com
modities for export.
Doctor Snowden says that tho United
States can flit practically all of Alls
tialla'fl standing order at an ncccptablo
price. United States exports to Australia
and New Zealand In 1912 amounted to
f C4,0(!9 000. Ho does not think that in tho
expansion movement Orent Britain need
be feared. Tho mother country has nl
wajs stood tlrst on tho colon's books,
but Uiitlsh factories In wartime, ho be
lieves, will have all they can do to keep
that position.
