THE CONGESTION OF GOODS..
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25гя, 1915.
In the course of his statement in the House of Commons regarding the rise of food prices (quoted in a telegram, recently) Mr. Asquith referred to the congestion in regard to the unloading and landing of ear goes from ships in the part of London. The Times recently had some observations on the subject which are of interest in connection with 3. Asquith's remarks. We quote as follows:-

ing chaos.
This extraordinary state of things is having several very unfortunate results affecting the well-being of the general-com- munity. It is injuring the Thames as a port To it is partly due the rise in the prices of all, imported foodstuffs. Traders are being put by it into serious financial difficulties. Thres causes appear to have contributed to it--a lack of dock and wharf labour; an insufficient supply of lighters for unfouling the ships; and the inability of the railway companies quickly to distribute the mer- chandise throughout the country. All these causes are due indirectly to the war.
Fifthly. It is ordained that the names of those upon whom We may be pleased to con- fer this Decoration will be published in the London Guzelle, and that a Register thereof are disposed to attribute the congestion not Shippers, merchants, and traders generally shall be kept in the Office of our Principally to a seareity of labour, but also to the Secretary State for War.

Soventily It is ordained that the Military Cross shall not confer any individual precedence, and shall not entitle the recipient to any addition after the name as part of his description or title.
Eighthly: It is ordaines that any person whom by an especial Warrant under Our Royal Sign Manual We declare to have for feited the Military Cross shall return the saki Decoration to the Office of Dar Principal Secretary of State for War, add that his name shall be erased from the Register of those upon whom the said Decoration shall have been conferred.
Lastly: We reserve to Ouself, Our heirs and successors full power of annulling, alter ing, abrogatng, augmenting, interpreting, or dispensing with these Regulations, or any part thoroof, by a notification under Our Royal Sign Manual.

labour
more than three days a week with overtime. That the congestion is due to want of labour is denied by the Dock, Wharf, River side, and General Workers Union. They say the supply of the kind of skilled labour required is not now so abundant as it was in peace time, owing to the fact that thousands of the youngest and most cable dockers have joined the Army. But they lay the blare of the congestion entirely on the failure of the shippers and merchants fully to utilise their resources for the removal of the merchandise from the riverside. An official of the union made the following statement to a representative of the Time:

The statement that the river from London Bridge to Gravesend may be said, without exaggeration, to be in a condition approaching chaos" was not shared by Mr. J. G. Broodbank, chairman of the Dock and Warehouse Committee of the Port of London Authority, and one of the Port's representatives at the Board of Traste Mr. Broodbak said:-
"No chaos exists at the London docks; there has been on since the outbreak of the war. What has existed has been congestion, often revere, I admit, and somewhat prolonged.

The gold was sent in work which the Port Authority has done in Sun payment for the commodities, principally the greatest port in the world at a time of cotton and steel, purchased by Japan since unprecedented pressure at the height of a the outbreak of War. Previous to the war European war. Japan was a heavy buyor of machinery and steel froin Germany, but like Hussin, when the war came, she was forced to turn to the United States for her supplies..
Local bankers denied the report printed in a morning paper that imports of 2,700,000 gold from Chium had any special significance In the exchange market. Ono shipuient of $1,700,000 has already been brought in by the Guaranty Trust Company, and the newspaper report ind it that the shipment established the first extensive instance of dollar exchange." Bankers said that the shipment Ind nothing to lo with making of New York a world liquer ceptie nor did it mark any in foreign exchange.
Mr. Max May, Vice President of the Guaranty Trust Company and head of its foreign exchange depart said: "The shipment has absolutely significance in the exchange market nor does it biark any

Over and over again we have had to put the requirements of the military and naval anthorities before the elaints of shippers and merchants. Wo have to-day 5,000 men employed at the docks, compared with 4,000 at the same dato last year. This is in spite of the fact that large numbers of men had been called up as reservists and others have since joined the colours. Moreover, something like 1,000 skilled re- gular labourers have gone or have been sent to other ports to help in the work of un- loading war material. We are dealing with something like 150 transports, besiles qu ex tardy increase in other tonnage, due to many

"The year's supply of sugar purchased by the Government us to be brought into port and warehoused within five months. Deliveries have already started, and while the ordinary quantity at the docks in normal times is no more than 21,000 tons, to-day we have 80,000 tons: At other times we have no more than 2,000 tons of wheat waiting to be taken away; today 24,000 tons are in the warehouse and granaries. French wines and brandies, whics are usually discharged at other ports, are to-day being discharged in the Port of London. So it is with otlier commodities.
