Postage Rates to British Colonies

THE recent postal agreement, effective since Oct. 1, 1908, between England and the United States, to carry letters at the regular domestic rate, of two cents for one ounce, does not apply to the colonies of either country. The rate of postage from the United States to any of the British colonies in the West Indies is five cents for one ounce, and three cents for the second ounce or fraction thereof. To other colonies and republics the rate is five cents for each half ounce or fraction thereof. Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Canal Zone have the regular domestic rate of two cents an ounce.
