London, Feb. 3: A deputation representing of printings and paper making industries urged the Postmaster General to restore the penny postage contending that such restoration would stimulate trade, reduce unemployment, and half the home export trade. It was pointed out that sales of picture postcards in New Zealand has increased by 25 per cent since New Zealand reduced her postal rates, and South Africa was about to restore the penny postage. Therefore the moment was opportune for its reintroduction in Britain. It was mentioned that the income from advertisements exhibited in post-offices now amounted to 22,000 yearly.
