the setting up of new type, and perhaps, in some Colonies, the introduction of new printing. machinery.
It also applies to those of our suggestions which involve drastic alterations of Import and Export and other statistics, as the necessary revision might in certain of the smaller Colonies tax the staffs, already depleted by the War, beyond their powers.
It would be well, however, that any new instructions which the Secretary of State may see fit to issue should be sent to the Colonies not later than the early autumn in order that the proposed changes may, where possible, be included in the Blue Books for the year 1917. The Blue Books for that year should be specially examined with a view to ascertaining how far the Secretary of State's instructions have been complied with. Such supplementary instructions, as the proposed examination may suggest, should be issued to individual Colonies. "If this policy is adopted, and if peace is declared before the end of 1918, it should be possible to ensure a considerable measure of compliance with the new instructions in the Blue Books for that year.
We believe that a genuine and sustained improvement in the Blue Books, such as is required in order to make them useful for administrative purposes, and serviceable as a basis for all other purposes, cannot be affected by a single enquiry of the kind which we have been instructed to make. Very careful examination of the annual Blue Books will be required for some years, and it might be well if they were annually examined by a small standing Committee.
We regret that we have not had sufficient time to enable us to carry out that part of the instructions contained in our terms of reference, which relates to Blue Book Reports and Colonial Statistical publications. We believe that we shall be able to consider Blue Book Reports more usefully when we are in possession of the Report of the Sub-Committee on Colonial Handbooks, and we suggest that we might take up the consideration of the Blue Book Reports in the autumn.
We feel some doubt whether the results of a close examination of Colonial Statistical publications generally would be commensurate with the labour involved.
Mr. R. Henshall, of the Board of Trade, who has acquired intimate acquaintance with Colonial Blue Books through his work in the preparation of the various statistical abstracts compiled by the Board of Trade for presentation to Parliament, has attended our meetings throughout and has signed the Report as a Member of the Sub-Committee.
Sir Sydney Olivier has been good enough to attend the Sub-Committee informally on several occasions, and his advice and assistance have been of the utmost value to us.
Mr. Rushmer has found time to act as Secretary to the Sub-Committee throughout its sittings. His duties have been arduous, and his help has been most useful. The careful notes which he has taken during our meetings have been of great assistance in the preparation of our report.
J. RUSHMER,
Secretary.

ASSETS AND Liabilities.
As laid down in Colonial Regulation 344, the state- ment of the cash assets and liabilities of a Colony shall be a summary of the balance sheet under its principal divisions. It is not intended that the statement shall contain detailed information regarding the items which lead up to the totals which are thus inserted, it being provided (Colonial Regulation 354) that these particu- far shall be furnished where necessary in separate statements to be appended to the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as rendered with the Annual Account. As a general rule, therefore, the Statement of Assets and Liabilities will contain the balances of the under- noted accounts and of such other accounts only as, at
the time, represent the principal sub-divisions in the Colony's accounts:-
Asacts:-
Cash.
Advances.
Drafts and Remittances. Stores Suspense Account. Investments.

shown).
