"A number of domestic money orders have been issued from the United States since September 15, 1999, for payment at this office. During the closing of our unfinished business all of these irregularly issued orders have been paid, but as no further disbursements will be made after March 15, 1923, all such errors after that time must he returned to the offending office for correction.
"The former patrons of this office. who have correspondents in the United States, will do well in the protection of their own interests to assist the U. 8S. Post Office Department to instruct the international money order postmasters in the new order of things, by informing their correspondents that domestic or semi-domestic money orders cannot be paid in China since this office has been withdrawn. There are more than 50,000 postmasters in the United States and the service of all our interested patrons can be most profitably and advantageously employed in a campaign for their education.
"The irregularities in the issue of domestic and semi-domestic orders which have formerly been accepted and corrected in this office cannot be imposed on the Chinese Post Office. which has to do with the United States Post Office Department only in methods of international money order exchange and accountability."
