Burleson Blames Congress for Postal Deficit
Washington reports the 1920 post office deficit totals 17,270,482 dollars, the largest in its history, with expenditures near 122,000,000 and revenues around 497,140,212. Postmaster General Burleson pins the shortfall on Congress while noting war-time payrolls and other costs could have been avoided with different legislative actions. He warns of a possible 1921 deficit if current policies persist, urging reforms to keep the service self-supporting. He also highlights expanded air, parcel, and rural services and notes labor organizations threaten efficiency and prompt potential strikes. The report covers foreign mail growth, rate impacts, and calls for improved routes and facilities, especially New York and Chicago.
