No one, and least of all the Camber of Commerce, desires to cast the sghest reflec -tion upon the many able civilians who have in tumn controlled the Custome One of the principal reasons for diss tisfaction with the'r control is precisely because they are many. It is the system, and not the men, which is 1 tacked. The direction of efficient Customs Service requires long tr ining, special know ledge of commercial matter, and on expert Acquaintance with local conditions which time alone can confer, Governinent, however, have bitberto cheerfully disregarded the exception Lolly exacting and delicate nature of the require. ments of the Customs Service.

It is hardly necessary to add that the utmost industry and assiduity has time and again failed to supply the lack of the knowledge really neces- sary. The result has been thit-save in the limited matter of handling passengers' bag gage-the service has developed flaws which seriously hamper the growth of trade. Cir- cumlocutory methods prevail in every large Customs Office in India the movements of commerce are hampered in all direction; and other and graver abuses have crept in to which we hope to make detailed reference upon a future occasion. The reason is at the officials at the head of the service are unable, owing to their unfamil arity with its conditions, to exercise effective supervision over their sub- ordinales. They are unable to rectify the abuses, because they do not know where to look for them. They, know, moreover, that they are fleeting birds of passage, liable to be transferred to, entirely different duries at a moment's notice. If they make a regulation, it very probably entirely alters the decision of a predecessor'; the next man in the office possibly alters their rulings and so the kaledospic ad. THE Steamship ministration proceeds from year to year, and the commercial community is hampered, obstructed, and irritated. The real control of the service remains in the bands of the sub ordinates, the only men who are acquainted
