If those proposals meet with your Lordship's approval, and the Lords of the Treasury will provide the funds required, every effort will be made to secure adequate results. I am in a position to state that the measures now recommended are in consonance with the views held, not only by my medical advisers, but also by all my senior officers, and we hope that, by their adoption, we may be able to check the further spread of sleeping sickness in this part of Africa, and to stamp out almost completely the scourge that has so sorely afflicted the unfortunate people of Uganda.
I have, &c.,
