Post Office Experiment Aims to Cut Food Prices
James P. Hornaday reports on a government test of postal space and routes to lower food costs. The study covers July to September, showing vast mileage and weight moved, with results suggesting the postal service could deliver food more cheaply than current rail or water transport, especially within 200 miles of large markets. The report recommends expanding postal conveyance and equipment use to improve efficiency from producer to consumer while preserving broader post operations. It also notes U S relief work in Europe, with Red Cross and Hoover groups aiding famine relief and international planning ongoing.
