The U.S. Congress passed a law calling for the increase of some postal rates in order to help with the war effort. Accordingly, a few trial surcharges were produced at Mt. Hope. However, it was eventually determined that, since the Canal Zone postal system was not under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Postmaster General, the tax was not required and the stamps were never issued.
