Postal service praised over new criticism by novitiate committee
A party of newly appointed postal assistants, with little experience, attacks the Taft era record while praising the department's expanded network and self sustaining finances. The statement defends mail handling, cites 5000 new offices and 3000 rural routes, and notes a Treasury audited surplus amid franking costs and franking abuse debates. The piece questions why current officers focus on discredit rather than improving key service areas.
