Sandersonasked the Assistant Postmaster-General whether he is aware that in the U.S.A. they issue new stamps which keep the public alive to matters past and present, such as victory stamps, etc.; and in view of the fact that we need dollar currency arid that stamp collectors in the U.S.A. would buy thousands of pounds worth of Mint stamps, as would other countries, if we offered a greater' variety, will he consider the issue of more varied and interesting stamps to commemorate the past deeds of this country.
