NO DELAY IN SHIPPING

LONDON. March 1.-THE govern
ment committee appointed TO inquire
whether any avoidablc delay is caused
by the methods adopted for dealing
with shipping in exercising the brllie-
ercnt right OF search and inspection,
has just made its report. The gem
eral conclusion is: I'VE have been uu-
able to discover that. consistently with
the effective exercise Of bellgcrent
rights. there i any avoidablc delay
caused by the existing methods Of
dealing with ships ana cargocs brought
into port under the order in council
of March IL, 1919. and We have no
suggestions to Offer for the improve
ncnt Of those methods"
The report tells just now the ma
chncry of search and inspection works
in the case OF neutral ships. Mos, Of
this machinery is in the hands Of the
Admiralty Committee for the Diversion
Of Ships in War Time This commit
tee is notified promptly Of particular RS
concerning the arriving ships and OF
the quantity and nature OF the cargo
to be discharged or examined. and as
signs the ship to the most suitable
port.
The system, though elaborate and
complicated, in practice works smooth
~" says the report OF the investi-
Eatin,s committee. 1T originated in
the fact that methods of search sane
toned ny usage in the past are now
inlbra cticable, and that the evidence
which, in the shape Of documents car
ried on the ships. the neutral ship
owner and trader were required to pro-
vide, has been robbed by changed CON
ditions of much Of it's value. other
evidence or guarantees. therefore. must
be forthcoming il the rights Of the
bclligercnt are to be preserved.
The system has been so constructed
rs to furnish facilities by which, II he
is disposed to avail himself of them,
the neutral can provide such evidence
or guarantee, and so be assured of the
minimum disturbance OF his trade.
ut was not to he expected that n
system which has developed as the
necessity arose should have worked
we'll from the beginning. Until II was
complete there were undoubtedly stages
at which delay took place. The con-
gcstion at the ports Of discharge,
which is persistent source of delay.
is consequent upon state Of war. So
Ions az that congestion exists It's eff
fects must be felt by ships brought In
