The customs receipts in particular showed a consider able shrinkage, which was inevitable, but I am glad to report that there was an improvement during September. The railway revenue has also suffered severely.
PSYCHICAL DISEASES.
Dr Finlay went on to relate how greatly the German Army had suffered from illness as opposed to casualties- and how the accommodation at Bad Nau
heim had been taxed. Shortly after the beginning of the war, and during the eric of the great advance through Bel gium and France, what amounted to sur epidemic of gastric illness occurred. The explanation of this, as given by n Gorman. doctor, was that at this time, the army, as pushing on so quickly that the com misseriat department could not keep pace with it. In consequence the men, who to live upon raw beetroot in many cases wore exhausted with rapid marching, had and were quite unable to digest it. After the battle of the Marne the gastric illness died down,
You must not, gentlemen, take pessimistic view of the situation It would be quite unjustified. So far North Borneo has ridden the storm bravely, and I have little doubt that it will emerge safe and intact, although, of course, its progress has for the moment been checked in the matter of development we will complete and to a large extent have already completed the programme of development which was sanctioned by you, and for which the first debenture issue was made.

As Iforeshadowed in my apecch laat July, the tobacco companies suffered severely from the adverse condi- tions prevailing during the growth of the 1913 crop. The prices realised at the sales were very unsatisfactory, and ontailed a considerable loss. The 1914 crop promises well, and will, I trust, go far towards retrieving some of these losses. We have been called upon, in only one instance, to support the tobacco industry. On the other hand, the Borneo Proprietary Estates, Ltd., have ceased operations on their estates on the Telok Bakau river. I regret to say that the progress in the coal industry which was becoming more and more marked has been checked by the war.
