Co-operating with the Stipplag Controller.

As an irteresting emmple of the spirit ia which all interests in London are co-operating with the Shipping Controller to ensure that vrasela on arrival are promptly releesed for further service the case of a steamer may be mentioned. This vessel arrived on February 3, with between 7,000 and 8,000 tons, and by February 7. the whole of this large cargo had been dis

charged warehousing accom- modation having been found:for the greater part of the cargo in warehouses adjacent to the berth where, the vessel dischargedy During three days the rate of discharge exceeded 2,000 tons a days, this being a record.

Shipplag Output Insufficent.

At the meeting of the Chamber of Shipping held on March 6, when Sir John R. Ellerman, steamship owner, stated that the output of shipping since the war was not sufficient to make good the lo-8-8 by marine cases alone. Baron Inchcape complained of what he termed the unpromising, outi ok. He said that not a sound had been heard along the Clyde since noon on March 2. It might be, he suggested that no war was going on, and that no new ships or destroyers to hunt submarines were required. He thought more information about shiping losses might be given to the people to make them appreciate the gravity of the situation, and added: “Our tonnage is being sunk it's rate of which the people have no conception. There is curious. lack of realisation in many parta of the country as, to the grave situation with which, we are faced."..
