Parcel Post
To Be Introduced
The advent of speedier-nationwide
worldwide air parcel post
service September I brings back to
minds of old-timers the introduction
of similar surface operations 35
years-ago. It was in 1913, according
to Postmaster W. ?E. Blakely ol
Kings, Mountain that parcel post
lirftt made its appearance in the
VnUed States.
The service at that time was esMade

tablished primarily to aid farmers
and hamlets, located off the beaten
paths,'in expediting their products
to market and, in turn, receiving
sorely needed goods from larger cities.
However, mail order houses
and other establishments were
quick to realize its value,
i Transportation facilities in those
days were still slow and tedious.
,: Motor-driven vehicles were few and
, the roads which they traversed were
frequently impassable. Too, trains
were giving off mbre .sparks and
. Slitoke than speed. There were nb
commercial planes in these days,
either, and only the foolhardy vis1
toned the rapid approach of this
Air Age. >.
Then it took days to transport par
eel post packages across the country.
Some parcels were forced to go
by virtually every movable conveyance
before they reached their destination
particularly to the more
remote sectors.
From that modest beginning, parcel
post has grown to become an integral
cog in the far-flung Ameri
can postal operations. Its 'annual
poundage, keeping step- w'th the pro
gj-ess of transportation, iias soared
frotri a few million to billions of '
pounds of assorted commodities,
Still determined to employ the
fastest means of transportation to
move the mails, the Post Office Department
will add the link necessary
to give the United States the
world's most highly -.specialized
doorstep delivery service with the i
launching of the new nation-wide -'
worldwide air parcel post, said
Post mast erTJlakely.

No Iron Curtain t
The Communistic attitude is get- , t
ting to be pretty well known to t!
Americans. Even the Iron Curtain v
has not been ubie to. hold behind its. j 1
barriers the ideas arid' thoughts of e
"-er '.VV'have come to understand P
what the Russian Communist;- ;
ihink by watching the actions of a
r American comrades. Evet y- J
body knows that the Communist j
party in this country watches Mos- fW(
cow c'csely. Wo can believe that
Moscow keeps them in line, too. ,
Everybody knows also that the i
Cotnniunist party in the United
States is not ^ycry'. powerful- In
terms of what it can do legally as a f'1
party, the peerage American giyes in
it very little attention. However. P<
what the party would do if it J
thought it could get away with it? Js*
that is another thing In this re- ,a'
spgct, home-grown Communist ; th
opinion is very enlightening. ! v<
Outside the Law
Recently, William Z. Foster, top si
man for the Communists in Amer- ; cl
ica, told the Senate his party would
not support the nation in event of 14
war with Russia. He was testifying v<
before the Judiciary Committee on m
the Muhdt-^Iixon bill, which' would w
put strict controls on Communists, te
Foster defiantly told the commit- re
tee that if the bill should become se
law the party would not register
with the Department of Justice as _
required.
Foster shouted that Russia would J?'
never 3ttack the United States. His 1,1
reason: Russia is .not an imperial- P'
istic na'ion. At the same time, he *c
said that America has embarked 01
upon an imperialistic program, the *c
greatest in history. (Imperialism C?
means the practice of seeking cop- r?
trol or dominion over other landsand
peoples.) Way the American P(
Communists have the situation sized
up bears no kinship to the plain
truth in international affairs . ei
Who's Imperialistic? }
Any school boy knows that
America has no ambitions for the o(
control and domination of ot)ier :
countries. On the other hand, what J
Russia is doine in pasfprn F.nrnno . ?
looks like the most obvious Kind of
"taking over." It is this same William
Z. Poster who once wrote that |
the Communist party would take
over the United States government
and liquidate the' free enterprise
system, along with the Repuolicar \
and Democratic parties and our re- !
ligious institutions. The
rankest kind of imperialism
known today may be seen in the
Communist Internationale, to which
all world Communists are respon- i
sible. This world organization exists ]
for the purpose of satisfyng th" j
imperialistic ambitions of Russia's '
political rulers. It uses Communists t
wherever 'they are. It plots .the 1
overthrow of other governments tv
force It incites revolutions whex- j
ever Communists stand to gain.
Watch TTteir Tactics
Communists will continue to do
everything possible, by whatever 1
methods, ex domestic peace ?
