BOOK
The delegation of Brazil, without failing to recognize the high and noble purposes of this Convention, regrets the impossibility of adopting article 3. This position is motivated by the fact that Brazil has signed a Postal Union Convention of the Americas and Spain, in Panama, in the year 1936 Convention which, consequently, has extended to the other American countries without exception and which governs the postal rates internally.
