Pilferage report. (Received This Diiy at 1.30 p.in.) LONDON, Feb. 5. The report of the Pilferage Committee of the Chamber of Shipping states the loss of goodly in transit to the Poit of London was about three and a half millions sterling yearly. The claims paid by shipowners were at least twenty times larger than before the war, and in many eases were considerably greater. At one Mediterranean port tinsystem in operation amounts to armed robbex-y. In some countries it is impossible to secure the assistance of police to stop the scandal, while in Brazil customs officers benefit so largely from shares in the fines that they encourage outrageous pilferage. One cause of the increase is the control of trade by Government departments during the war, but the outstanding reason is the general debasement of the standard of honesty, which is a. legacy oji tho war. Regarding Australia, the committee state that without the full whole hearted co-operation of trade unions connected with shipping and the wharves, the thieving of cargoes will l'emain a standing disgrace to the good name of the Australian nation. Even children on the waterside must now what is going onand what kind of education is it for them.
