But, to be fair, do you think that such horrible things can be easily avoided in a war and especially when planes are involved?

Comparison of the figures bears this out. The first class hike will raise local postage 33 per cent, and out-of-town postage 66 per cent. The second class increase (which will affect the major magazine concerns) will not be that high, and the "junk mail" increase will only amount to 14 per cent of its current insufficient rate. In addition, the Senate has rejected an amendment which would have raised rates for companies using over $1 million of postage annually.
