Now Chinese Stamp Honors U. S. Flag

An unprecedented compliment was paid the United States by China recently when a new stamp was issued to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence by the United States. The stamp bears the fl%gs of China and the U. S. to symbolise the traditional friendship that has existed for so many years between the two nations. As far as is known, this is the first time that an independent nation has so signally honored the flag of another.
