The Post Office Looks Ahead Sir Kingsley Wood has been
explaining two projected improvements which, with other recent changes, serve _ to show us that the Post Office under the present admin- istration has become an extraordinarily- progressive institution. In the new Empire scheme which has been decided on it is intended to send all first-glass corre- spondence by air without extra charge, both in Britain and throughout the Empire. Thus, wherever an inland air mail has been established, a letter will be sent by it for lid. ; and for the same price a letter goes by air to India or Australia. Regularity and frequency of Empire mails will be necessary to make the scheme successful. From that subject Sir Kingsley Wood turned to television, on which lie is expecting a report from a committee appointed last year. The Postmaster-General did not say in exactly what form television facilities would be provided, but he prophesied that something would be accomplished during the present year.
