The article discusses the possible future effects of postage rate increase in the United States. Two major factors contribute to this prediction. The first is the custom that has grown up over the years to make first-class mail pay for the deficits incurred by other classes of mail, especially junk mail. Junk mail will still enjoy special privileges and first-class mail will still pay the bill. Automation is needed for providing better mail services and Board of Governors have to borrow $10 million for installation of modern equipments. Postal strike of 1970 is one of the bad effects of the hefty increase in first class mail. The Postal Reform Bill will not improve the situation.
