Result of Wild Talk.

This inference on tho part of the public is in large measure the re suit of tho wild statements made by MT Gillon concerning the methods of the fleet corp, and to the general statements of graft and corruption contained in tho Fisher Richardson report. The public does not differ Cntiatc tho division of const ruction from that Of operations and concludes that because there was petty graft among minor ships officers in the victuallinE and repairing of ships in operation that the entire structure of the corporation from top to bot tom was honeycombed by q like con- dition.
 Graft in ship operations has from timo tmmcmorial been considered ono of the prcquisitcs of petty officers. and is n difficult disease to eradicate. IL has no place in tho operations of m American fleet and should ne treated with an iron hand.
 But it ia 10 be regretted that tho Fisher Richardson charges arc Couched i'm such general terms that they haVo besmc1rcd the whole struc- turc of tho shipping Board and Fleet Corp. with tho slime of suspicion. Many of tho charges should have been madc in the police courts rather than In a report of such i'm Dortnncc.
