In an exclusive Inter- rfew he summed up his in! the following sentence: i "To the fact that my policy as a public official runs counter to cer- more or less selfish interests and to the further fact that the public, generally, is not informed as to the purpose of my policy and the conditions under which it is determined and carried out." In amplification, he said, that 'alonjr with the many other inconveniences which the people rave had to Contend during the war and disorder, have been of not Always receiving their mail promptly as they have been accustomed to.

The average man would accept this as a matter of course, enduring this Inconvenience as he does all other sacrifices in the service of his country. If he took trouble to look into the matter ie would discover that there had een less disturbances to the service than to any other function of either public or private business, though the additional burdens put upon it were enormous. "Most people would be inclined to accept the situation without particu- inquiry or thought and would not disposed to complain or criticize But if their attention is pointedly and persistently called to the fact that ihey have suffered some inconvenience, they recognize this as being true and then may, without due consideration, accept as also true, what persona having a personal motive may say about it. Yet a very large part of public complaint has been without criticism, it being recognized that some difficulties are unavoidable at such a time." "But," it was interposed, "the attacks upon you and the department have been very persistent and general throughout the press of the country." "That is true," Burleson replied. "But I think that for the most pan the press of the country has been like the rest of the public.

Knowing that the postal service has, at times, during the war, been not as good as they would like it, they have accepted too often the reasons for this given theni by those interested in misrepresenting of the facts." "You speak of private interests; what are they?" the postmaster general was asked. "There are several." he replied, "no one of which would, perhaps, amount to much by itself, but when they make common cause, they can be very effective TO creating any false impression they desire and in giving a trend to public opinion. A policy which is solely in the interest of the public may be made very unpopular if it runs counter to some private advantage that a few Well- established concerns seek to enjoy. This Is because the general public has no original source of information of its own and its interests are too impersonal, for one who seeks to serve them, to a definite and effective support. In the management of the postoffice department the public service and the interests of the public are put above everything, including party political considerations.

Neither personal considerations nor party political advantages entered into the determination of matters affecting the public welfare. This is an unpopular policy with those who would have it otherwise, and the public is largely ignorant of the fact that greater popularity could be readily achieved by a betrayal of public duty." "But can't you be more definite as to the motive of hostility?" Burleson was asked. "Yes." The establishment of the parcel post, which has been oJ inestimable value to the country, was fought bitterly," he replied, "and I have never been forgiven for having sustained and extended that service. The extension of the parcel posl service has been steady and is going to continue. Every extension is stil being fought by those whose private interests may suffer from it.

The reason given for a letter, widely circulated, soliciting complaints against the mail service during: the storm blockade winter before last was that these complaints as to first-class mai; would aid in defeating a proposed increase- of weight allowed in parcel post then pending before the interstate commerce commission."
