That it U not a paying proposition tio chairge higher rates than the traffic will bear, is illustrated by the experience of the Post Office Depart ment in the matter of three-cent etttr postage. It is : revealed that during July and August,; the two months immediately following the en actment of increased rates, postal rev enues were about the same as for the corresponding months of 1931. This indicates that the volume of mail for the period in question was less this year than last. It also indicates that a larger proportion of letters are lie- mg sent third-class this year than last When the new revenue bill was en acted, it '.-was estimated that Federal revenues would be increased to ' the extent of $161,000,000 a year by; high er postal rates, but it is already hian. ifest that these estimates were entire, ly too optimistic . In a recent public address, Post master-General Walter ; r. Brown pointed out that the Department was not mistaken when it anticipated that increased rates would not meet with favor, and he urged that the prime objective should now be to get back to the two-cent postage, rate at the :arliest possible moment.
