BLOT ON AUSTRALIA.
PILLAGING AT PORTS. A. and N.Z. LONDON. Aug. 26. In a comment on the report of a sub- , committee appointed by shipowners, merchants and others on the matter of cargopillaging, Lloyd's List says the natural conclusion from the figures given is that most of the pilfering is still carried out, as it was when a Royal Commission reported in 1921 when the cargo is being landed or shipped in Australian ports. It is deplorable, says the List, that six years after the issue of so vigorous a report the evil should still be rampant. It says it hopes that the facts now published stimulate all the interests concerned in transport to Australian ports to unite in removing this blot on the reputation of some of the finest harbours in the world.
