London, Oct. 28. Presiding at the annual meeting of the Perak River Hydro-Electric Power Company, Mr. George Bal- four, M.P. was able to claim that his forecast of a year ago that net revenue would be at least doubled in 1933-34 had been failed. The company has, in fact, increased its net revenue by 128 per cent, and, moreover, progress is expected to continue during the current year, although not perhaps at the same rate as in the previous year. Now that economic conditions in Ma- laya are regarded as having be- come more stable, the directors of the power company feel that the time is approaching when plans may be prepared to reorganize the company's 'finances.
