BRITISH RAISE
MONEY ORDER
RATES TO U. S.
LONDON, Nov. 24 (by Associated
Press).—By increasing the cost of
money orders payable in the United
States from 8 cents to 72 cents for
every pound sterling, the postal au
thorities have blocked an avenue
whereby Americans were able to send
money home without incurring any
loss incident to the low rate of Brit
exchange on America.
/, Throughout the period of depreci
ation of English money in the United
States the international postal rate of
exchange has remained constant at
4.87. So by resorting to money orders
instead of to bank drafts, which were
governed by the daily rate of ex
change, and often 80 or more points
below the postal rate, those who
wished to transfer money from this
country to the other side were en
abled to do so at the nominal expense
of less than 10 cents for every $5.
There was a limit, however, to the
amount that could be sent in this
way, the authorities during the war
restricting it to £100 a week for each
individual.
One American business man in Lon
* don avoided serious loss by using this
means of transferring his capital to
his home city in Ohio. Of course,
many weeks were required to effect
this particular transfer, as the amount
involved was several thousand pounds,
but he got it all through just before
the price of money orders was so rad
ically boosted.
So far the American postal authori
ties have not altered the cost of
money orders payable in this country.
An American banker here pointed out
to the correspondent that the situa
tion created by the action of the Brit
ish postal authorities places the Amer
ican public at a disadvantage, espe
cially those persons living in country
districts where banking facilities are
limited, and who must rely on the
postal money order service.
