§ 38. Sir A. KNOXasked the Postmaster-General whether, when considering the proposal for an issue of special telegram forms and envelopes with suitable Christmas designs, he will bear in mind the fact that such a scheme would injuriously affect the Christmas-card trade and the hundreds of artists, printers, and small stationers who depend upon it?
§ Sir K. WOODNo proposals are under consideration either for reduced rate inland greeting telegrams or for the issue of special telegraph forms and envelopes for use at Christmas.
