No less an authority than the Postmaster General
recently applauded a policy resolution made by a
business organization, calling it “one more dramatic
. demonstration of the widespread popular approval of
the need to put the Post Office Department on a self-
supporting basis.”
. The organization in question is the U.S. Chamber
of Commerce. And the policy declaration, passed by *
some 4,000 delegates attending the Chamber’s 1958
business meeting, reads: “Rates on fourth-class mail
should at all times yield the Post Office Department
revenues sufficient to cover the full cost of the serv-
ice. Costs of services performed for the Post Office
by other government agincies should be added to
postal costs ...”
The fourth-class mail classification covers the parcel
post service. And the recommendation made by the
Chamber, and approved by the Postmaster General,
is identical to that made by the Hoover Commission in
1955, after a thorough survey of parcel post over the
years since its inception. The Commission found that
the service has been heavily subsidized, in both direct
and indirect ways—which simply means that taxpay-
ers who do not use parcel post still pay a part of the
. cost which should be wholly borne by those who do
use it.
Putcing parcel post on a Self-sustaining basis would
penalize no one. It would just follow the sound prin-
ciple that we should pay for what we get.
