1916 NEW ZEALAND.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT (In Committee of Supply, 16th June, 1916) BY THE RIGHT HONOURABLE SIR JOSEPH WARD, BART., P.C., K.C.M.G., MINISTER OF FINANCE.
Mr. Malcolm, — It is my pleasing duty to lay before honourable members a favourable statement concerning the finances of the Dominion for the year just concluded, and to be able to assure the House that, notwithstanding the disturbing influences of the war upon trade and commerce generally, the country's finances are in a very sound condition. It was stated in last year's Budget that, in view of the anticipated fall in Revenue and the increased burdens which would be cast on the Consolidated Fund by the necessity of providing for war pensions, interest and sinking fund on war loans, and other similar charges, a very considerable increase in taxation would be necessary, and, subsequently, legislation was introduced and passed by the House to enable the additional revenue to be raised. lam pleased to be able to inform the House that, owing to the freedom of the seas having been maintained between New Zealand and the Mother-land and other causes, there has been a very considerable revival of trade. The export from this country of meat and other farming produce has been continued at remunerative prices, and the producers of the Dominion have experienced a very favourable year. These circumstances have made it possible for the community to meet the extra taxation of last year without inconvenience, and I have thus been able not only to provide for the additional charges on the Consolidated Fund, but to show, in addition, a good surplus for the year, amounting to £2,166,077. Deducting from this surplus the sum of £149,047 carried forward from the previous year, there is left a net surplus of revenue actually received during the year of £2,017,030. In announcing this large surplus I wish to remind the House and the country that the longer the war continues the greater will become our annual burdens, and that consequently the expenditure of the year just concluded must not be taken as the maximum of the expenditure of the current and succeeding years. The payment for interest and sinking fund in respect of war loans will show a very considerable increase for this and succeeding years over the Amount paid for last year. Two items alone will entail an addi.ional expenditure this year of over one million sterling.

REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE. The following figures show the revenue and expenditure for the year 1915-16 as compared with the figures for the previous year :—
Statement of the Revenue for the Year ended 31st March, 1916, compared with the Year ended 31st March, 1915.
It will be noticed that the revenue for 1915-16 exceeded that for 1914-15 by £2,058,192. This increase was partly due, of course, to the increased taxation and revenue charges imposed by last year's legislation, and partly to increased activities in the trade and commerce of the Dominion.
The Expenditure for the Year ended 31st March, 1916, compared with the Year ended 31st March, 1915, is—

The Expenditure for the Year ended 31st March, 1916, compared with the Year ended 31st March, 1915— continued.
In reference to the expenditure, I desire especially to call attention to the reduction of £74,674 in the expenditure under the annual appropriations for the year 1915-16 when compared with that of the previous year, and in this connection I would like to say that this economy is largely, in my opinion, due to the care with which the Administrative Heads of Departments controlled their expenditure. On two occasions during the year I met the Permanent Heads of Departments in my office and emphasized the necessity for the exercise of economy in the public expenditure, especially at the present time, and I wish to publicly express my appreciation of the zealous manner in which these officers carried out the wishes expressed by me by carefully supervising the expenditure in their respective Departments.

ESTIMATES OF REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE FOR 1916-17. The revenue for the year 1916-17, on the basis of the existing statutory limitations, is estimated as follows :— Customs .... .... .... .... .... 3,300,000 Railways .... .... .... .... .... 4,450,000 Stamp and Death Duties .... .... .... 1,470,000 Postal and Telegraph .... .... .... 1,750,000 Land and Income Tax .... .... .... 2,540 475 Beer Duty .... .... .... .... 195,000 Registration and other Fees .... .... .... 104.605 Marine .... .... .... .... .... 45,850 Miscellaneous .... .... .... .... 423 500 Territorial Revenue .... .... .... 211 000 Endowment Revenue .... .... . .... 90 971 Other receipts .... .... .... .... 1 0;0 00 £14,591,401 The following figures will show the ways and means of the Consolidated Fund for the year 1916-17, estimating the revenue on the foregoing basis :— Balance forward from 1915-16, less investment £ (£2,000,000) 1 66) 077 Estimated revenue, 1916-17 .... .... .... 14,591 401 14,757,478 Estimated expenditure .... .... .... 14 390 626 Balance .... .... .... £366,852 RESERVE. Since the war began the deposits at call with the Post Office Savings-bank have increased very rapidly, and a considerable portion of these moneys has been invested in war debentures and other Government securities. In view of the possibility of heavy claims being made by the depositors when matters in Europe assume a more normal aspect, I established a reserve in London by investing, in Imperial Treasury bills, funds which are not wanted for immediate requirements. New Zealand has by this means assisted the Imperial Government, and has at the same time established a strong liquid reserve against possible sudden claims in the future. WAR LOANS. During the session of 1914 authority was granted by this House to enable £2,000,000 to be raised for war purposes, and during last session additional authority was granted for raising a sum not exceeding £10,000,000 for the same purposes, making a total of £12,000,000 in all. Of this total we had borrowed, up to the beginning of May, 1916, £9,850,000, leaving an unexhausted authority of' £2,150,000 . The Imperial Government has advanced £8,500,000 of the £9,850,000 raised and the balance, £1,350,000, has been found in New Zealand from Post Office investments. Honourable members will recognize that our war expenditure must expand in proportion to the increased number of men we put in the field. It will be seen that additional authority to borrow will have to be wanted to enable the war expenditure of the future to be met, and I proposed ask the House for authority to borrow further amounts for war purposes to the extent of £12,000,000 for this year. With the unexhausted authority of £2,150,000, this

will provide a total of £14,150,000. This is a large sum, but, as it is expected that the war costs will shortly run into over £1,000,000 per month, the amount I have mentioned should not be considered excessive. PUBLIC WORKS LOANS. During last session of Parliament authority was granted to the Government to raise a loan of £2,000,000 for public works, and this amount was duly raised without having recourse to the London market. Although the purpose of this loan did not appeal to the patriotic feelings of New-Zealanders in the same degree that it would have done had the money been required for the expenses of the war, the loan nevertheless met with great success and was considerably oversubscribed. I would especially call attention to the very small cost entailed in raising this loan. The work was performed by the; Treasury and Post Office officials, and the total expenses amounted to £5,035, or J per cent. only. These expenses consisted solely of brokerage, advertising, and printing. When it is remembered that the cost of raising a loan at par in London amounts to, roughly, 2£ per cent, the saving which has been effected will be fully recognized. As regards the future, our chief efforts must be exerted in the direction of rendering as much financial aid as it is possible to the prosecution of the war, and until its termination, the utmost economy will be exercised in the prosecution of public works, and only those works which are essential will be continued. I need. scarcely remind honourable members that it would be impossible to approach the London market, under existing conditions, for a. public-works loan, and I do not think that it would be prudent to float a loan in New Zealand for public-works purposes. I estimate that there is sufficient money now available for public works to enable us to carry on at a reduced rate of expenditure for some time, but to guard against unforeseen contingencies the House will be asked to grant authority for raising during the year half a million from the Post Office funds. It must be understood, however, that this authority will be merely a precautionary measure. REDEMPTION AND RENEWALS. In last year's Budget it was shown that loans amounting to £6,274,953 would require to be met in London before the 31st March, 1916, and I am glad to say that this has been successfully and satisfactorily completed, as follows : £ Redeemed by creation of 4-per-cent. inscribed stock .. 190,499 Redeemed by investments from the Post Office .. 655,801 Investments renewed to the Imperial Treasury .. 5,421,053 Converted under Finance Act, 1915 .. .. 2 600 Converted into 4-per-cent. inscribed stock (1943/63) . . 5,000 £6,274,953 The loans falling due during the past year in Australia and New Zealand amounted to £3,631,521, and of this sum £410,056 has been redeemed with money provided by the Treasury, £2,806,015 has been renewed for a further term of five years, and £368,100 has been converted into new debentures under the Finance Act, 1915. The balance of £47,350 has not yet been dealt with, as the Treasury has not received advice from the present holders whether they wish to renew or not.

CONVERSIONS. Under the authority of the Finance Act of last session all holders of debentures maturing on or before the Ist December, 1916, were offered the option of converting into debentures of similar terms and currency to the £2,000,000 loan raised in the Dominion for public works, and a sum of £208,900 was thus converted. I subsequently made a proposal to holders of debentures maturing on or before the 31st March, 1924, to convert into debentures with a currency of twenty-five years and bearing interest at 4£ per cent, free of income-tax. The result was most gratifying. Up to the end of April debentures to the amount of £1,891,100 had been thus lodged for conversion. It will be seen that the total amount provided for under these three headings for a considerable period amounts to approximately £12,000,000, and this, when considered in conjunction with the net surplus of £2,017,030, may be looked upon as an extraordinarily strong position with which to face the developments of the future, which are rendered uncertain by the impossibility of forecasting the termination of the war. Treasury bills, which at one period of the war reached the record amount of £1,950,000, were all paid off before the 31st March. CUSTOMS. When the estimate of Customs revenue was made for the year just closed it was anticipated that there would be a considerable restriction of importation owing to increased freights, lack of shipping faculties, difficulty of getting orders fulfilled, and the total exclusion of trade with Germany and central Europe. The revenue was accordingly estimated on a conservative basis at £2,800,000. In addition to this, it was expected that primage for seven months, and increased duties on spirits, motor-cars, gas and oil engines, would bring in £145,000, making a total of £2,945,000. The amount actually realized was £3,365,568, being £420,568 over the total estimate. This remarkable surplus is accounted for mainly by the great increase in the value of goods the world over. While the volume of imports has somewhat decreased, the value remains approximately the same as in former years. The following comparison of tonnages and values of imports shows this :—- Year. Tonnage. VaJle--1913 .. .. .. 22,288,302 1,563,464 1914 .. .. .. 21,856,096 1,538,755 1915 .. 21,728,834 1,370,057 It is gratifying to note that Great Britain and British dominions still maintain their full share of the goods ordered for New Zealand. Out of the total imports of £21,728,834, Great Britain and British dominions sent £17,727,137, the balance being distributed between the United States and other countries. The new duties for the seven months during which they were in operation amounted to £149,000, and of this amount primage duty of 1 per cent, on all imports was responsible for £98,000. Comparative figures showing the value of exports lor 1914 and 1915 are as follow :— 1914. 1915. £26,261,447 £31,748,912. The value of the exports for 1915 is the highest ever recorded, the increase being, of course, greatly due to the high prices of our staple products. The following return shows the rise in average value of the principal articles exported for the years 1913-14, 1914-15, and 1915-16 :—

TRADING WITH THE ENEMY. To ass'st the British Government in preventing supplies reaching the enemy many restrictive regulations under Orders in Council have been issued during the past year. No goods may be exported to Switzerland, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, or Sweden without special application to the Minister of Customs. Hides, leather, wool, tallow, and fatty substances yielding glycerine can be exported to Britain or British dominions only. To more effectively prevent trade by enemy firms through neutral countries regulations have been issued providing that any company or firm shall be regarded as an enemy company or firm which had, prior to the war, its chief place of business in enemy territory, and it is further provided that, where the Attorney-General is satisfied that any business is carried on either in or out of New Zealand for the benefit of enemies, such business may be declared to be an enemy business, and any such business existing in New Zealand at the present time must be placed in the hands of the Public Trustee as Custodian of Enemy Property. There has been reason to believe that small quantities of goods made in Germany have reached the Dominion from time to time through neutral countries in spite of the precaution which has been taken to obtain the certificate of the British Consular Officers at neutral ports of exportation. Numerous instances of goods marked " Made in Germany " have been brought to the notice of the Department of Customs, but full investigation has frequently shown that such goods either came out of the enemy steamers which were interned in neutral ports upon the outbreak of the war or that they had been held in stock in shops and wholesale warehouses long before hostilities commenced. It is consequently unsafe to assume that all goods marked " Made in Germany " have been unlawfully imported. Nothing, however, has or will be left undone to stop the importation of all enemy goods. BEER DUTY. The new system of levying duty upon the quantity and gravity of the worts used in brewing came into force on the 1st December, 1915, and the increased returns up to the close of the financial year must be regarded as highly satisfactory from a revenue point of view. Calculated according to the old system of collection of the beer duty by means of revenue stamps, the usual estimate for the year was about £124,000. The increase for four months due to the new system is £33,900, thus making the total revenue for the financial year £157,892. It must be remembered, however, that the four months from December to March are the summer months, which yield the largest returns. I am advised that the new system has been brought into operation without a hitch of any kind, and. is working to the entire satisfaction of the Customs Department. Valuable assistance in the matter of supervision has been rendered by the Postmasters and Police in various country districts. LAND-TAX AND INCOME-TAX. The effect on the revenue of the increased taxation upon land and income is very marked. The net receipts in this Department for the past year amounted to £2,440,475 (made up of land-tax £1,048,356, income-tax £1,392,119), and, compared with the collection for the previous year, show an increase of £1,100,516. , Land-tax. The land-tax receipts for the financial year 1915-16 considerably exceeded the estimate, and, compared with those of 1914-15, are as follow : — £ Receipts, 1915-16 .. .. .. .. 1,048,356 Receipts, 1914-15 .. .. .. .. 799,641 An increase of .. .. .. £248,715

Income-tax. The income-tax receipts for the financial year 1915-16 a'so considerably exceeded the estimate, and, compared with those of 1914-15, are as follow :— £ Receipts, 1915-16 .. .. .. ..1,392,119 Receipts, 1914-15 .. .. .. .. 540,318 An increase of .. .. .. £851,801 The excess of receipts over the estimate under this heading is due partly to the fact that the dislocation of shipping at the outbreak of the war did not cause the shrinkage in trade that was anticipated, and partly to the fact that high profits were realized by taxpayers dealing -with the primary products of the Dominion. Honourable members will be interested to know that the income-tax chargeable for the past year to farmers in respect of the profits derived from land amounted to £269,000, of which sum £240,000 had been paid by the 31st March last. MENTAL HOSPITALS. The growth of these institutions continues with the steadily increasingnumber of patients. Together with the policy of enlargement, a further step is to be made in classification by segregating the aged, who comprise a fair proportion of the admissions. The Government recognizes its duty to do all that it reasonably can to promote the welfare of the patients. PUBLIC HEALTH. The operations of this Department have been considerably extended during the year, notably in connection with the accommodation and treatment of sick and wounded soldiers returning from the front. Large convalescent hospitals bave been established at the thermal-springs resorts of Hanmer and Rotorua, and every assistance has been given by the Hospital Boards throughout the Dominion, with the result that a very large number of soldiers had been restored to health. During the year the Townley Maternity Hospital was taken over from the trustees and was added to the number of maternity hospitals under control of the Government. Much attention has also been given by the Department to epidemics of infantile paralysis and scarlet fever. The responsibilities of the Department are steadily increasing, as it is felt that the health of the community is one of its most important considerations. POST AND TELEGRAPH DEPARTMENT. The Post and Telegraph Department's revenue shows a very material increase, which is largely due to the imposition of the halfpenny war-tax on all postal matter excepting newspapers, and to the increase in the telegraph rates. The revenue collected for the year amounted to £1,689,917. This exceeds that of the previous year by no less than £336,474. The increased charges were in operation for only six months of the year, and produced, approximately, a sum slightly below the amount which had been estimated. The Savings-bank deposits reached a total of £13,706,057, while the withdrawals amounted to £11,294,974. At the end of the year the total amount standing to the credit of depositors was no less than £22,166,365, an increase of £3,118,336. The money-order and postal-note business increased, the total issues for the year amounting to £4,252,843. The revenue from postages amounted to £801,938 ; from telegrams, £386,138 ; and from telephone exchanges, £287,547 ; the balance being made up of miscellaneous items.

Both the telegraph and telephone-exchange services have increased at a satisfactory rate. Full details with reference to all these matters will be found in the annua] report of the Department. STAMP AND OTHER DUTIES. The revenue derivable from this Department has increased very much of late years. Less than ten years ago the revenue rarely exceeded half a million per annum. During the last seven years, however, the revenue collected each year has largely exceeded that of the previous year. This year the revenue collected was £1,470,307, as against £1.417.207 Inst year, an increase of £53,100. This is a very satisfactory result, especially in view of the fact that the ircreased charges authorized last session had only been in operation for a portion of Ihe year. The cost of collection is les.s than 1 per cent. The revenues collected by the Stamp Department are derived from various sources, con prising death and stamp duties, totalizator and bank taxes, and fees from the administration of the Joint-stock Companies, Mining Companies, Building Societies, and Industrial and Provident Societies Acts, as well as from the control of the Land Transfer and Deeds Registration Department, which also comes within the jurisdiction of the Commissioner of Stamps. LAND REVENUE. The gross revenue received from Crown and endowment lands of the Dominion shows an increase for the past year. The total receipts amounted to £1,286,524, as against £1,163,127 received during the previous twelve months. Analysing the figures under the main headings the result is,— £ Ordinary Crown lands .. .. .. .. 501,941 Land for settlements .. .. .. .. 480,288 Cheviot Estate .. .. .. .. ..15,654 National endowment .. .. .. .. 115,183 Primary and secondary education endowments .. 87,504 Other sources .. .. .. .. .. 85,954 £L 286,524 The amounts outstanding at the 31st March were £23,514, representing postponements of rent granted under section 13 of the Land Laws Amendment Act, 1912, and £33,737, representing ordinary arrears. SETTLEMENT OF CROWN LANDS. A total area of approximately 750,000 acres was offered for public application during the year under the various tenures provided by the Land Act and the Land for Settlements Act, &c, and the bulk of this land was readily taken up. Full particulars as to the present condition of settlement throughout the Dominion will be laid before you in a separate parliamentary paper (C.-l). In accordance with the intention of the Government to afford every facility for the selection of land by members of our Expeditionary Forces who have returned to the Dominion and who have been honourably discharged,' a considerable area has been proclaimed for selection under the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Act, 1915. Other suitable areas are under survey, and will be made available as early as possible. Already numbers of applications for land have been lodged. The regulations governing the granting of financial assistance to soldier settlers have been issued, and money up to an amount of £50,000 has been authorized under the Act to provide advances to assist in developing the holdings.

The drainage-works undertaken in connection with the swamp lands on t ! c Hauraki and Rangitaiki Plains have progressed considerably during the past financial year, and the settlement of the reclaimed areas has proved a most successful undertaking. To further the development of other areas of swamp land thoughout the Dominion therSwamp Drainage Act was|fpassed last[session, and special inspections and reports are now being made regarding various swamp lands with a view to further operations. AGRICULTURE. The agricultural and pastoral pursuits of the Dominion have been most successful during the past year. Excepting that abnormally dry weather occurred in parts of Canterbury and North Otago, the season was favourable!, and the settlers have derived considerable benefit from the export of food products during the war. Prices obtainable overseas for all kinds of farm-produce remained at a very high level, with the result that the value of our agricultural exports was much higher than in any previous year. Details regarding the value of farming-produce exported during the year have been alieady referred to under the heading of " Customs." As there is at present every prospect of another good year for our farmers, and as the bulk of our exports is not in the nature of luxuries but rather of necessaries to the peoples of Europe, the outlook for the future is hopeful, although obviously it is not to be expected that the present very high level of prices will continue after peace is established. LAND FOR SETTLEMENTS. The purchase of lands for settlement during the year has been for various reasons considerably restricted. 16,495 acres, valued at £136,326, were, however, purchased. There has been a good demand for the whole. Arrangements are now being made to secure suitable lands for returned soldiers, for which purpose £500,000 will be required. Land should be available in various districts under conditions likely to induce settlement. Notwithstanding the war, land-values show no tendency to drop, owing, no doubt, to the great demand for all products. STATE FORESTS. The net expenditure during the year was £30,313, being approximately the same as that for the previous year. Owing to the falling-off of royalties on timber cut off Crown lands subject to the State Forests Act it was found that, notwithstanding a grant of £9,000 from the Consolidated Fund as against £6,000 for the past three years, the Lands Department was compelled to considerably curtail operations, the actual expenditure being £3,300 less than that estimated to be required for proper maintenance.of the thenexisting plantations and providing reasonable extensions to the plantations. It follows that with the increased area planted each year the cost of maintenance and management must necessarily show a corresponding increase. Owing to the general slackness in the timber industry there is not much demand for millingtimber this year, and it is estimated that the State forest revenue for the year will amount to only £10,500, being approximately one-half of that required for maintenance of plantations and attention to nursery stock. Proposals for the proper maintenance of the planted areas, and for enabling the stock of young trees in the nurseries to be planted out, are receiving attention. STATE ADVANCES OFFICE. There has been no change in the policy of this Office during the year. The'j limit of advances to local authorities remains at £5,000, while advances not exceeding £1,000 (including loans for the repayment of mortgages and the erection of homes in urban districts up to £450) continue to be made to settlers.

In the Workers Branch the full amount allowed by the law is being advanced. Amounts or Advances paid over during Year ended 31st March, 1916. £ Advances to settlers .. .. .. .. 814,555 Advances to workers .. .. .. .. 275,680 Advances to local authorities .. .. .. 285,410 £1,375,645 Loans authorized but not paid over as at 31st March, 1916. £ Advances to settlers .. .. .. .. 147,279 Advances to workers .. .. .. .. 85,185 Advances to local authorities .. .. .. 300,490 £532,954 There has been no increase; in the rates of interest chargeable to settlers, workers, and local bodies during the year. The rates to settlers and workers remain at 5 per cent., reducible to per cent, for prompt payment. The rate chargeable to local authorities remains at 4| per cent. DEFENCE. The work of the military authorities and of the Defence Department has steadily increased. Additional units have been added to the|original Expeditionary Force, and continual and ample reinforcements have been regularly despatched without a hitch or serious accident. This is the more creditable owing to the fact that the military authorities have, in the absence of a .naval" administration, assumed the function of fitting, equipping, and maintaining a regular troop transport system for the conveyance of troops to the seat of war. It is satisfactory toj|know that the new units and reinforcements have met with general approval by the Army Council and the Imperial Training Staff at the base in Egypt as regards their physique and training. As a natural result of active service abroad, sick and wounded invalided soldiers have been regularly returning to the Dominion. The arrangements for their reception and comfort have been carefully and well carried out by the Defence and Public Health Departments working in conjunction. Concurrently with the training and forwarding of regular reinforcements, the Territorial or home-defence training-system has been carried out. Without this regular system it is certain that the Expeditionary Force despatched to occupy Samoa, and the main force and reinforcements, could not have been so efficiently and expeditiously despatched and maintained. It is to the lasting credit of the employers within the Dominion that, despite the inconvenience to which they have been put by the enlistment of many of their employees for service abroad, they have continued to support the annual training of the Territorial Forces, and have in this manner contributed to the successful enrolment of the Expeditionary Forces and reinforcements. i During the past year a Minister of Supplies and Munitions has been appointed, and under his control the co-ordination of manufactures and supplies throughout the Dominion has been brought about, thus ensuring improvements and sufficiency of equipment to meet the military demands. The expenditure out of revenue on account of defence amounted to £432,227, or £60,616 less than the estimated requirements. PURCHASE OF MILITARY STORES AND SUPPLIES FOR THE EXPEDITIONARY FORCES. Owing to the fact that the wool-sales are held in November-December yearly, it is found convenient to estimate prices and to review expenditure over the period of a calendar year, rather than over the period of a financial year terminating on the 31st March.
8.-6
XIII
The expenditure for the calendar year 1915 was as follows :— £ Stores .. .. .. .. .. .. 620,450 Supplies .. .. .. .. .. 421,593 Drugs .. .. .. .. .. .. 20,631 Total .. .. .. .. .. £1,062,674 In view of the heavy commitment to the Army Council in connection with equipping, training, and despatching, say, thirty thousand men during 1916, it is estimated that £1,548,000 will be required for the calendar year 1916. This sum is made up as follows : — £ Stores .. .. .. .. .. .. 1,100,000 Supplies .. .. .. .. .. 424,500 Drugs .. .. .. .. .. .. 23,500 Total .. .. .. .. .. £1,548,000 It has been found advisable, in order to create reserves in certain lines of equipment, to place orders for heavy deliveries during the first six months of 1916. These goods will be held in store under proper custody, and as a result the orders for goods will not be so extensive towards the close of the year as for the first six months. As far as can be ascertained, the sum of £248,000 has been paid for 1916 supplies, which leaves a balance of £1,300,000 to be provided for the remainder of the calendar year. SAMOAN ADMINISTRATION. The garrison for Samoa is still being provided and equipped by New Zealand, and the payment of troops is a charge upon the War Expenses Account. The health of the troops is good, and no difficulties are being experienced with regard to the administration. Shortly after the occupation of the Island by our troops it was deemed necessary to replace the German currency with British currency, and the early establishment of a branch of the Bank of New Zealand there greatly facilitated the settlement of the currency and exchange questions. The German currency was purchased by the issue of notes on the basis of 20*60 marks to the '-'Sovereign. The German gold coin and notes have been sold, and the proceeds invested in New Zealand Government securities. The silver and nickel coin has been forwarded to London for sale when a suitable opportunity occurs, but, owing to the; great depreciation of German currency in the market to-day, it has been found impossible to obtain a fair offer for the coin at present. WAR RELIEF FUNDS. Extremely valuable gifts in money and in kind for various relief purposes in connection with the war have been contributed during the past financial year. The monetary gifts received by the Government, almost entirely for purposes outside New Zealand, amounted to £340,335. The response for Belgian relief purposes was remarkable, not only because it far exceeded the amount asked for, but also from the fact that the contributions were received during a period when the public was contributing to funds for the relief of our own sick and wounded soldiers and their dependants. Returns sent in by the various patriotic societies show that up to the 31st December, 1915, the sum of £1,588,280 had been raised by them, of which over £980,890 was then in hand; but the funds of a number of societies have been considerably augmented since then, and it is estimated that the total funds now in the hands of patriotic organizations amount approximately to £1,250,000. Gifts of the value of £77,000 have been contributed for the poor of Belgium, and £3,000 for the poor of the United Kingdom, and £8,095 for Red Cross purposes in England, and £51,775 for hospital requisites and comforts for troops in Egypt, &c.
8.—6

The gifts for Red Cross purposes, hospital requisites, and comforts for our troops in Egypt and other places represent not <mly|thejvalue of nearly £60,000, but also many thousands of hours of devoted labour, first- in the collection of money, then in the purchase of material, and finally in the making-up of the material into various useful articles. Every credit is due to the various organizations, and especially to the women of the country for the magnificent work they have performed. MINING. The Imperial authorities requested that all supplies of scheelite and molybdenum be requisitioned for war purposes at a fixed price, and the Governm<>nt is now purchasing all supplies available. The new arrangement has worked satisfactorily. The output of coal for the year was 2,208,624 tons, as against 2,275,593 tons for the preceding year, a decrease of 66,969 tons. This decrease in the output is notsurprising in view of the difficulties caused by the shortage of competent miners and also of steamers to carry the coal. INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS. No great difficulty has been experienced in dealing with the question of unemployment ; on the contrary, the enlistment of large numbers of men has caused a considerable demand for other workers to take their places. There has been one strike of note during the year—viz., that at the woollenmill, Petone —arising out of a claim by the employees for 10 per cent, increase of wages. This dispute has since been settled, work has been resumed, and it is pleasing to note that no inconvenience regarding the supply of clothing for the Expeditionary Forces has been caused. With a few minor exceptions, the industrial conditions elsewhere are reported to have been satisfactory throughout the year. Notwithstanding the number of enlistments and an increase in the cost of building-materials, there has been a continued demand for workers' dwellings, the number of which has increased from 471 on 31st March, 1915, to 553 on 31st March last, and there were in addition on the latter date thirty-seven dwellings in course of erection. Care has been exercised by the Government to proceed with the erection of dwellings only in those cases where the work could be carried out at a reasonable cost. It might be explained that all expenditure for workers' dwellings is recoverable in the rents and instalments collected from the occupants. '■* NATIONAL PROVIDENT FIND. A steady progress has been maintained, and the fund which, at the 31st December, 1914, stood at just under £54,000, had increased by the end of 1915 to considerably over £75,000. It may be noted that over one thousand members of the Fund have participated in the reduction of contributions granted by the Act to members serving in the Expeditionary Forces. The first valuation of the Fund having been completed, the Actuary's report has been duly laid before Parliament. It is satisfactory to note that the Fund is shown to be sound, and that no further subsidy is required beyond that which was provided for in the original Act. FRIENDLY SOCIETIES. The grant to friendly societies of half the cost of reinsuring the funeral benefits of their members on active service has greatly assisted them in meeting the strain caused by the war mortality. Up to the end of 1915 a sum of £3,700 was paid to the societies under this heading. DEPARTMENT OF TOURIST AND HEALTH RESORTS. The results from this branch of the Government Service during the past year have been exceedingly satisfactory. The direct revenue from the resorts under the control of the Department, in spite of the war, shows a return of £31,048, compared with £26,630 for the previous year.
B.—fi
XV
A gratifying feature has been an influx of visitors from Australia, due in a great measure to the adoption of methods for advertising the attractions of Rotorua, the alpine regions, and the Southern Lake districts. The facilities afforded by the booking bureaux in the different centres have been greatly appreciated by the travelling public. The total amount of money taken for tours booked has amounted to £35,477. Owing to the war, no Works of any special importance have been undertaken during the year, but the various resorts have been kept in an up-to-date state of repair, and the results on the whole have been most satisfactory. MARINE. The Marine Department has done valuable work during the year for the further protection of shipping and the safety of passengers and crews on vessels that frequent our coasts and harbours. A new lighthouse has been finished at Karori Rock, Cook Strait. Automatic lights at Okuri Point, near the French Pass, and Flat Rock, Hauraki Gulf, are in hand. The s.s. " Hinemoa " has continued to carry out the duty of tendering the various lighthouses, and has also overhauled and painted coastal buoys and buoys in harbours under the control of this Department. The training-ship " Amokura " continues to be used for training boys for the sea. She has made two trips to the southern islands, and one to the Kermadecs, to search for castaways, and examine the provision and clothing depots maintained by the Government on those islands for the benefit of shipwrecked persons. The Department has found no difficulty in keeping up her full complement of sixty boys—indeed, there are a great many boys at present waiting for admission when vacancies arise. IMMIGRATION. Since the outbreak of the war the Government has not been accepting the nomination either in New Zealand or in the United Kingdom of immigrants who are eligible for military service, as it was deemed inadvisable to adopt any course of action that might interfere with the requirements of the Imperial military authorities. Domestic servants are still being assisted to the Dominion under the scheme inaugurated in 1913, and persons residing in New Zealand also have the privilege of nominating relatives (other than men eligible for military service) for •assisted passages from the United Kingdom. THE PUBLIC TRUST OFFICE. The moneys of estates in the Public Trust Office are placed mainly in the common fund, where they realize interest at a rate, fixed by Order in Council, not exceeding the statutory limit of 4j per cent. -The rates of interest allowed to beneficiaries of estates should be raised. For several reasons it is not practicable to raise the amount fixed by statute, but I propose to have legislation introduced enabling a certain proportion of tin; surplus profits of the office to be taken and given to beneficiaries in the form of an annual bonus. The Office is making large profits. It should not be a profit-making concern only. Estates under the administration of the office should be entit'ed to receive a larger portion of the profits earned. The proposed concession, besides benefiting all classes of beneficiaries, will especially materially help those beneficiaries who are affected by increased cost of living due to war-conditions. I arranged for the Public Trustee to prepare, free of charge, and undertake the custody of the wills of soldiers, and an office was opened at Trentham for that purpose with qualified officials in attendance. Many thousands of soldiers have availed themselves of the privilege, and it is desirable that all soldiers should do so, as the system of making wills in the pay-book has proved unsatisfactory. Previously the wills in many cases were lost or destroyed, and many wills were not clearly drawn. These disadvantages have been completely removed under the new system.
8.—6
XVI
A special non-profit scale of charges for administering the estates of deceased soldiers has also been established. In estates under £400 the Public Trustee does not, as is the case with a private trustee, require to take out probate or letters of administration, entailing the cost of Court fees and solicitors' charges. The Public Trustee, in lieu of such procedure, simply files an election to administer at a total cost of 3s. This is of great advantage to soldiers' estates, which are usually of modest amount. The office charges nothing for handling military pay, and charges only 1 per cent, on the other assets. There is no charge for legal services. This arrangement has been the means of administering some hundreds of soldiers' estates at purely nominal cost. The Public Trust Office has also made arrangements to act as attorney or agent for soldiers, with power to pay allowances, insurance premiums, &c. A nominal fee of 10s. 6d. or £1 Is. a year, according to the work to be done, is charged, and interest is allowed on any moneys held by the Public Trustee under the agency. Many hundreds of soldiers have availed themselves of this arrangement, and I desire in the interests of the soldiers that the existence of the privilege should be widely known. GOVERNMENT LIFE INSURANCE DEPARTMENT. The outbreak of the war and the heavy casualties suffered by the New Zealand Forces have naturally caused a large increase in the claims under policies in the Government Insurance Department, and war claims to date have been received in respect to 295 policies, representing £63,433 assured. The Department's policies issued prior to the war were and are free from any restrictions, so practically nothing in extra premiums has been received in respect to these policies. For new insurances in the case of those joining the Forces engaged in the war an extra premium at tie rate of £7 10s. per cent, per annum on the sum assured is now being charged, but, unfortunately, up to the present time the mortality has been about 12| per cent., and the extra premium should therefore be at least £12 for each £100 of insurance. Until the Department has had some further experience it is not proposed, however, to increase the extra rate. At the time of the earlier casualties some uncertainty arose as to the proper attitude for the Department to take up in connection with the settlement of claims under policies on the lives of soldiers dying at the seat of the war. The difficulties more particularly arose in respect of the smaller claims. It may be mentioned that the Department is empowered by law to settle claims under policies assuring £200 and under without requiring administration to be taken out. In the case of policies over that amount probate or letters of administration are necessary. When settlement is effected without administration, evidence has, of course, to be produced to show that the deceased policyholder has left no will, or that if a will is forthcoming it is the last will. In view of the special facilities in the matter of the execution of wills after leaving New Zealand afforded to soldiers, it was finally decided to ask for administration in the case of all war claims irrespective of the amount assured ; and, as it has been felt that the expenses attendant upon this course might perhaps press unduly upon small estates, the Department now pays the Court fees in respect of death-claims where the sum assured is £200 and under, and where administration would not be otherwise necessary. It should be added that there are two classes of war claims — (a) where the military authorities certify that the soldier has been actually killed, and (b) where they certify that tin; soldier is believed to be killed. In both cases the Department raises no difficulty as regards admission of the claim and payment of the sum assured if administration is granted by the Court. STATE FIRE INSURANCE. The year 1915 has proved the most prosperous in the history'of the State Fire Insurance Office. The income amounted to £76,299, as compared with £67,693 for 1914. The net profits, after placing an additional £1,000 to Investment Fluctuation Reserve and an additional £2,608 to Unearned Premium Reserve, amounted to £25,652, as against £18,660 for 1914. The total of accumulated funds at the close of 1915 amounted to £116,684, as compared with £87,423 at the close of 1914.
B.—fl
XVII
The loss ratio was 38-6 per cent, for 1915, and 43-5 per cent, for 1914. The ratio of working-expenses was 27-5 per cent., the same ratio as recorded for 1914. PUBLIC SERVICE SUPERANNUATION FUND. Under the authority of an amending Act passed last session the Board itself has undertaken the investment of the moneys belonging to the fund, in place of the Public Trustee, who hitherto has controlled the investment on behalf of the Board. It is anticipated that the interest derived from the investment of the fund will thus be increased, and that the effect will be to relieve the Consolidated Fund of part of its liability. EDUCATION. Every endeavour is being made to keep down expenditure, and in this respect the Education Boards are assisting the Department. Any increases which may appear in the estimates for the current year will be due to statutory provisions. The largest increase is that of £38,000 in the item for public-school-teachers' salaries, due partly to the natural increase of attendance and partly to the amending provisions of the Education Act, 1914, relating to staffing of schools and salaries of teachers. Of this sum about £25,000 is absorbed by the annual increments in the teachers' salaries, and the remainder is due to increases in staff. The erection of new school buildings and additions to existing schools is being limited to those cases in which there is no alternative course open by which provision may be made for substantial increases in attendance. Strict economy is being exercised in the administration of the Industrial, the Special, and the Native schools directly under the control of the Department. The number of teachers who have joined the Expeditionary Force is 360. Teachers' Superannuation Fund. The income during the year ended the 31st December, 1915, was £83,319, made up as follows : Contributions of members, £52,644 ;. interest on outstanding contributions, £244 ; interest from Public Trustee, £13,359 ; contributions transferred from other funds, £72 ; Government subsidy, £17,000. The expenditure for the year was £45,438. The value of the Fund on the 31st December, 1915, was £340,582, as against £302,701 on the 31st December, 1914, an increase of £37,881. The number of contributors increased from 4,269 on the 31st December, 1914, to 4,444 at the e»d of 1915, an increase of 175. The annual allowances payable as at the end of 1915 were £39,000, as against £35,000 at the end of 1914. Provision has been made for the payment by the Government of the contributions of members of the Fund who have enlisted with the Expeditionary Force until the release of the contributors from military duties. The number of contributors who have joined the Force is approximately 210. PENSIONS. A steady increase continues to be recorded in the expenditure under the Pensions Act, the gross payments for the past year being as follows :— £ Old-age pensions .. .. .. .. .. 479 ; 359 Widows' pensions .. .. . . .. 36,357 Military (Maori War only) pensions .. . . .. 48,273 £563,969 These figures show an increase of £23,920 over the gross expenditure during the previous year. As the Department has now received practically all the fresh applications following on the provision of the 1913 Act, under which the pension age for women was reduced to sixty, the figures may be deemed to represent a normal state of affairs. The increases for the various classes of pension are as follows : Old-age, £18,525 ; widows', £4,738 ; and military, £657.
iii—B. 6.

XVIII
The number of pensioners on the roll at the close of the year was 23,017, as follows : Old-age, 19,804 ; widows', 1,890 ; and military, 1,323. The old-age and widows' figures represent increases of 452 and 102 respectively, but the military pensions payable to veterans of the Maori War are a diminishing quantity, as the total deaths during the year amounted to 124, while the new pensions totalled 60. During the year a miner's pension was provided for by the Miner's Phthisis Act, under which up to the 31st March 145 claims had been lodged. In 120 of these claims, including 16 by widows of miners, pensions were granted representing an annual charge of £5,445. The amount actually paid to the close of the year was £1,508. WAR PENSIONS. The War Pensions Act has been amended during the present session of Parliament, and bas recently been so fully discussed in all its aspects that I need do no more here tban state that it is certain to come up for further consideration later on, and that the country can be relied upon to do its duty in regard to those who have fought, and will yet fight, for the preservation and freedom of our Empire. The amount expected to come to charge during this year will probably approximate £200,000, but whatever amount is required will be provided for. COOK ISLANDS. The administration of the affairs of the Cook Islands, in accordance with the provisions of the Cook Islands Act of last session, has now been placed under the control of the Permanent Head of the Justice Department. During the year public works have been carried out as far as the finances would permit. Unfortunately, the revenue of the Islands has been seriously affected by recent hurricanes, and the lack of tonnage due to the war has further affected the financial position. A material improvement cannot be looked for until after the war. The loyalty of the Natives to the Empire has been splendidly demonstrated by their voluntary contributions of men and money, and also of comforts for the men at the front. Niue Island has now some 150 men on active service, and Rarotonga has contributed forty-five men, while many more are ready and anxious to serve their country. IMPERIAL GOVERNMENT SUPPLIES. The arrangement entered into with the Imperial Government by which all beef, mutton, and lamb available for export should be purchased on account of the Imperial Government, and which became operative on the 3rd March, 1915, has been continued throughout the year. The total shipments up to the? 9th May, 1916, have been— 719,089 quarters beef. 3,045,732 carcases mutton. 4,376,426 carcases lamb. The payments to freezing companies and producers have amounted to £9,143,794. The question of the supply of insulated tonnage has been a matter of considerable concern to the Government. Representations have been made to the Imperial Government, with the object of securing additional insulated tonnage. In response to these representations, five steamers have been made available from Australia. The number of insulated steamers despatched during the twelve months ending 31st March last was eighty-one, compared with eighty for the previous year. Three steamers engaged as meat-carriers have been put out of commission—the " Clan McTavish " was sunk by the enemy, and the " Matatua " and " Rangatira " were lost as the result of marine casualties. A clearance of the freezing-stores was practically effected when the new season commenced. At the beginning of May there remained in store approximately two million 60 lb. carcases at the freezing-works, but the outlook for the balance of the season is favourable.
8.—6

It is satisfactory to note that many of the freezing companies have taken in hand the matter of increasing the storage accommodation. In November last a requisition for 15,000 tons first-grade cheese was made by the Imperial Government, the price fixed being 7jd. per lb. f.o.b. In order to comply with this requisition, all factories were notified that approximately one-third of their output for the season would be required for Imperial Army purposes. A working scheme was drawn up between the factories and the Government, and up to the 9th May, 1916, 12,725 tons had been shipped, and the payments to dairy factories and producers totalled £845,474. A notification was received in September last to secure for Imperial Government purposes the whole of the output of scheelite ores from the Dominion to the 31st December next, the price being fixed at £2 15s. per unit of tungstic acid per ton of ore. Arrangements were made with the mining companies, and a working scheme prepared and put into operation. Up to date 151 tons have been shipped, the payments to mining companies and producers totalling £28,683. Funds to finance the purchases of ore are requisitioned from the Imperial Government by the Treasury as required. The number of mining companies and producers of ore has considerably increased. At the inception of the scheme only two mining companies were operating in scheehte ores, while at the present time business is done with twenty-six suppliers. At the close of the year it was arranged that the Imperial Government Supply Office should take over the management of the kauri-gum produced and purchased under the Kauri-gum Industry Act, 1914. The value of kauri-gum at present on hand is approximately £27,607, and arrangements are now being made to dispose of this in the United States. Considerable congestion is being experienced in the export of general cargo, owing to the shrinkage in the world's tonnage. This condition is due, firstly, to the heavy and ever-increasing demands of our own and allied Governments for tonnage for war purposes ; secondly, to the sinking of a number of cargo-steamers by the enemy and the loss of two large carriers, and also to the fact that the output of general cargo is above the normal. There are indications that the tonnage available in the months of June and July will clear the accumulation, and the situation should wholly right itself by the end of August. The congestion may reasonably be said to have reached its worst in March and April, and, given the safe arrival of steamers now on the way to load, it should decline by August and become normal by September. WAR BONUS. Since the beginning of the war a very large amount of additional work has been cast upon the officers of all State Departments, and the Government desires to offer some recognition of the extra services which have been so readily given. It is also recognized that the cost of living has greatly increased during the past two years, and, in consequence, many of the lower-paid officers of the State find it increasingly difficult to maintain their families in ordinary comfort. With a view of offering some recompense to these officers it is proposed to grant a war bonus, fixed in accordance with a specified scale, to those officers of the Railways and all other branches of the Public Service, including school-teachers, whose salaries do not exceed £315 per annum. I estimate that a sum of £400,000 will be required to cover this charge, and this amount will be placed on the estimates accordingly. As soon as the Appropriation Bill becomes law the full bonus will be paid in one sum to those entitled to it. ESTIMATED LOAN EXPENDITURE FOR 1916-17. I estimate that it will be necessary to provide from sources within the Dominion a sum not exceeding ,£2,500,000 during the current year to provide for the carrying-on of works and other services which are deemed to be necessary. This amount has been cut down to the lowest figure possible, and care will have to be exercised in the expenditure, as difficulties are likely to occur if further sums are required.
8.—6
XX
Of the above-mentioned sum, £500,000 represents money for the purchase of land for soldiers, and as this may be paid for by means of debentures I estimate that the net amount which it will be necessary to obtain for works will amount to, approximately, £2,000,000. How far this will be given effect to must necessarily depend upon the sums which are from time to time available for investment on account of various Departmeots. EXTENSION OF SOCIAL INSURANCE. With the view of further promoting social insurance and the well-being of the State, I will ask the House to set aside a sum of £22,500 to provide for the establishment of a scheme that will enable the Government, through the National Provident Fund, to enlist the co-operation of the friendly societies. This sum will provide members with a maternity allowance of £4 at each birth. The vote also will include a subsidy which will enable members of friendly societies to obtain an annuity at the age of sixty at half the rates now charged to the National Provident Fund contributors. In this connection I wish to point out that by subsidizing friendly societies in this manner the policy established under the National Provident Fund will be further promoted, and the principles underlying that Fund, by which assistance in their family responsibilities is granted to contributors, will be maintained. This feature of the proposals also advances the State's policy in regard to social reform, and will be of special value in contributing towards the preservation of infantlife at birth—a matter of vital importance to the nation at the present time, having regard to the present tremendous war wastage. BOARD OF TRADE. Arising out of the legislation passed last session, a Board of Trade consisting of three members, Messrs. W. G. McDonald, J. R. Hart, and P. Hally, was set up under the presidency of the Prime Minister. The Board commenced work on the Ist March last, and has been empowered to investigate breaches of the Commercial Trusts Act, and matters respecting increases in prices of the main necessaries of life, to devise schemes whereby the future trade of New Zealand may be fostered and encouraged, and to collect information which may serve as the basis of legislation regarding '-* post-war trade with enemy countries. Much information valuable to the Government and to the public generally will be collected by the Board, which will be helpful in determining the causes governing increased prices, now alleged to be partly due to exploitation. The Board will fill a gap in New Zealand's economic and industrial legislation, and will deal with problems directly affecting all classes of the Dominion. COST-OF-LIVING PROBLEM. During the year this matter has received a great deal of attention from the Government with a view to preventing high prices being charged to the people for their food-supplies. Every aspect of the matter was considered prior to the appointment of the Board of Trade, but difficulties of solution, due to the war, presented themselves in almost every direction. The needs of the great war have caused the Imperial Government to requisition a great proportion of the steamers and ships of the mercantile marine, and other countries have also made unusual demands on the ships sailing under their own flags. The tonnage remaining for general trade purposes of the British Empire has proved quite inadequate for carrying on the transport and commercial requirements of the Empire, and the oversea dominions have suffered in consequence. The regrettable but inevitable result was that freights rose to an unparalleled height, at which they still remain. This, with the phenomenal increase in the prices of goods in outside countries, including Great Britain, added enor-
8.—6
XXI
mously to the cost of goods imported into this country. In this respect, as far as New Zealand is concerned, the Government was powerless to immediately effect a remedy. Firstly, ships could not be built, chartered, or purchased. Secondly, if they could have been built, chartered, or purchased, the necessities of the war would have taken precedence of everything else; in fact, the ships would have been rightly commandeered for Imperial purposes. Thirdly, the first cost of goods of nearly every description in the countries of origin could not be controlled from here. The Government consequently directed its attention to preventing exploitation, and the Board of Trade, when it was set up, was specially instructed to leave nothing undone to help in this direction, and it has been engaged since its constitution in making close inquiries in different portions of the country. The reports will be made available for Parliament. It seems almost impossible during war-time, owing to the world-wide increases in freights, added to the general increase of the first cost of goods in the countries of origin, to hope for a general lowering of prices until the war is over. Similar difficulties present themselves regarding our own produce, which is, fortunately, in general demand. As prices are fixed by the law of supply and demand in all parts of the world it seems apparent that only the lowering of values in the outside world can effectively bring about a reduction of prices in New Zealand. If relief by the remission of Customs duties would have helped, this would have been proposed. It will be seen, however, that practically all articles of food and materials largely in use are already free of duty. INCREASED RENTALS. Since the commencement of the war many complaints have been received regarding the advance in house-rents. There can be no doubt that increase of house-rents adds greatly to the cost of living, especially to those of limited salaries or wages. Honourable members will be asked to pass legislation'to restore rents to their pre-war rates, and to prevent their being increased during the war period. ARTICLES FREE OF DUTY. I have had a return prepared showing articles of food at present free of duty. They are as follows : Arrowroot; farinaceous foods (n.0.e.); dried fruits— currants, dates, figs, prunes, raisins; fresh fruits—bananas, oranges, other '"Irinds; maizena and cornflour; rice, dressed; rice, undressed; infants' and invalids' farinaceous foods ; macaroni and vermicelli; mustard; nuts, edible, other than almonds and walnuts ; sago and tapioca, except flour; salt, refined and table ; sugar, molasses, and treacle; tea in packages containing 51b. or over. The value of the articles imported under these headings during 1915 amounted to £2,046,910, and if the duty at the ordinary average rate had existed for that year, including sugar at a duty of £d. per pound, and tea at 2d. per pound, the duty would have amounted to £576,679. During the same year the following articles of clothing and wearingapparel were admitted free of duty : Children's boots, sizes 0 to 6 ; gum boots ; buttons, tapes, waddings, pins, and needles; cotton piece-goods; linen piecegoods ; union, cotton and linen piece-goods ; waterproof clotb ; sewing silks and threads. The value of these imports amounted to £1,210,757. If duty had existed at the ordinary rates it would have approximated £240,000 for the year, so that with free food imports the sum of £8f6,679 per annum is represented by these two classes of imports. I mention this matter in consequence of the somewhat unfair strictures levelled at the New Zealand Government in reference to the increase in the cost of food prices. It is clear that in regard to the articles I have referred to nothing further can be done at present to reduce their imported cost, as they are all free of duty. It certainly cannot be denied that the prices of these commodities materially affect the masses of the people, and it is our clear duty to do all in our power to bring about a reduction in the cost of living. It was for the purpose of preventing exploitation that the Board of Trade was established by the Government.

TAXATION PROPOSALS. I propose to effect some important changes in taxation. The ordinary landtax on mortgages will be repealed, and an income-tax substituted on the income! derived from the mortgages. This change, while giving relief to the owners of small sums invested on mortgage, will impose a heavier tax on income of those having large investments. I will ask the House; to make provision for exempting frotn assessment of income-tax in New Zealand any income earned elsewhere and which has already been taxed in the United Kingdom or any British dominion, with the view of avoiding as far as we can the duplicate taxation of income within the Empire. There is no room to doubt that the present system is unjust, and acts as a constant barrier to the full and free development of commerce within the British Empire. Amendments of the Land and Income Assessment Act to give effect to the foregoing alterations will be submitted for consideration. MONEY. During the year the financial condition of the country has been a singularly peculiar one. Money has been plentiful, but the uncertainty of the future has made the fortunate owners of sums in excess of their own requirements exceedingly cautious ; the result has been a marked indisposition to invest in existing industries or in new undertakings. The fact that no one can, with any degree of accuracy, gauge what conditions will prevail after the war makes the position anything but easy to forecast. It, however, appears certain that after the war the whole world will find a new and, indeed, an unprecedented situation, and that the change in the economic, industrial, social, and financial condition must necessarily bring about changed methods of finance. All industries, whether trade or primary, to a large extent are dependent on the stability of the country's finance. I am convinced that it is a wise course to keep the year's surplus in a liquid form, and I decided some months ago not to use the surplus for ordinary governmental requirements, but to invest it in liquid securities, and part of this £2,000,000 has since the close of the financial year been invested in Imperial Treasury bills, and the remainder will be similarly invested at an early date. I have from the first recognized that it is our duty to aid the Motherland during this great war to our utmost capacity. I had previously invested a sum of £1,325,000 in Imperial Treasury bills, and with this further £2,000,000 a total of £3,325,000 '' will be provided as a reserve. I think this investment in Imperial Treasury bills may be regarded as a partial set-off by New Zealand against the war funds so generously advanced by the Motherland. I hope during the current year to further increase I his reserve. WAR PROFITS. Money for the conduct of the war must be had, and there is no valid reason why those who have surplus moneys, largely due to war-conditions, should not be called upon to provide a portion of the capital required. Those who have made extra profits during the war, either from business or directly from primary products, cannot object to provide out of such profits a share of the finance necessary. I will ask the House to give authority to take by way of taxation 45 per cent, of the excess profits earned during the last year. These will be ascertained by taking the average profits realized for each of the three years previous to the war and comparing this average with the returns made since the war commenced. I estimate to receive £2,000,000 from this source. The date of payment will probably be about the end of the current financial year. SPECIAL INCOME-TAX. Those taxpayers who derive their incomes from other sources than war profits should likewise at this juncture be required to contribute something further than they are at present called upon to pay, and I propose to ask for authority to levy a special tax of 5 per cent, upon incomes earned last year from all sources, exclusive of war profits which have already been dealt with. This tax will be collected in March next. I calculate that £750,000 will be realized under this heading.
8.—6
XXIII
INCOME-TAX MINIMUM. I direct attention to the minimum upon which income-tax is charged in this Dominion. So far as I can ascertain, the amount at which we start to levy income-tax is the highest in the world—by that I mean we exclude from the payment of any tax all those who receive wages or salaries not exceeding £300 per annum. Nothing is proposed in the direction of increasing the income-tax revenue by reducing the minimum upon which income-tax is leviable, but it will become a question for serious consideration if the war continues beyond the end of next year whether this should not be done. It is only right that those who are well-to-do or possessors of wealth should contribute the greater proportion of the cost of this war, the successful winning of which means such enormous advantages to them as well as to every other section of the community. Even the humblest in the land would probably take exception to being altogether excluded under the law from making some slight contribution towards helping to win the war and towards assisting to maintain a pensions scheme for the benefit of the widows and dependants of those who are, on behalf of every class, great or small, throughout the Dominion, fighting for the freedom of this country. WAR BONDS. I will also ask the House to provide for a system of war bonds to be issued in New Zealand, with a currency of twenty-five years, bearing interest at per cent, free of income-tax. This will enable those desirous of helping war finance to do so. The financial requirements during the year will be obtained partly from the Old Country and partly from New Zealand, and will, of course, be limited to the Dominion's needs. The course I am suggesting will give those desirous of helping the Motherland the opportunity of doing so. Our war expenditure is now reaching very large figures, but the proposals I am submitting will, in my opinion, supply the means for providing everything that is necessary for the pensions, equipment, transport, and pay of our soldiers, and this must be the first duty of the country during the crisis through which the Empire is now passing. 1 hope not only to supply the necessary means for current requirements, but eventually to provide for the full repayment of the loans received from the Imperial Government for war purposes. It would, of course, be impossible at present to continue the war expenditure without assistance from the Home-land. For the months of May and June it has been found possible to reduce the usual Imperial contribution by more than half, owing to the assistance derived from local investments, and it will be my endeavour in the future to continue to relieve the Imperial Government to the fullest extent possible. How far this can be accomplished will largely depend upon the total amount we obtain from tax on war profits and from the special income-tax, but I feel justified in saying that the amount will be considerable. I wish to point out that no additional taxation is being suggested, except to provide for war expenditure, and though the extra tax may be severely felt by some of those who will be called upon to respond to the needs of the country during the war, they will, I am sure, cheerfully accept the additional burdens which are essential to achieve the final victory in this great conflict. It may be necessary as soon as I know definitely what amount is required for authorization on the supplementary estimates to ask the House to provide for an increase of taxation to further strengthen the consolidated revenue. I shall inform'the House when I am in a position to do so. MONEY IN DOMINION. It is, in my opinion, the duty of those who own or control money made in this country to utilize it in the Dominion as much as possible during the currency of the war, in order to help to maintain the stability of the trade and commerce of the country. I propose to ask the House for authority to
8.—6
XXIV
ensure that this will be done until twelve months after peace has been declared. This will also apply to deposits in banking or other institutions in so far as they represent money in New Zealand, but will not affect remittances for legitimate trade or other purposes. Authority will be asked to have suitable provision made by regulations to enable this proposal to be carried out. RATES OF INTEREST. Last year the House gave authority to control the raising of public loans by local bodies, and this provision has worked well. 1 have not given authority for any local public body throughout the country to raise loan-money at a higher rate than 5 \ percent. In a number of instances I was asked to do so but refused, and the fact that the money has been obtained within the maximum rate fixed shows that had this provision not been made the rate of interest throughout the Dominion would in all probability have been materially increased. As already mentioned, the Government rate for the State Advances Local Bodies Branch has been kept at A\ per cent. Under the abnormal conditions at present ruling an inflated interest rate would be highly undesirable. I propose, in order to prevent the possibility of a general increase in the rates of interest, to apply a similar restriction to the rates to be allowed in respect of deposits, and to fix a rate applicable to all financial institutions, whether banking, companies, or private firms, so that no institution can take advantage of another of the same class by offering higher rates for deposits. GOLD EXPORT. The exigencies of the war have caused the Imperial Government to stop the exportation of gold from the British Isles, and this course has been followed by Australia. The stoppage of gold-export from these countries necessarily interferes with trade finance, and the banks find it somewhat difficult to provide a sufficiency of gold within the Dominion for trading purposes, while at the same time they must of necessity maintain their requisite proportion of yold reserve. I propose to submit legislation to meet this difficulty, which I will explain fully when bringing down the necessary measure. I may add that there is not the slightest cause for any uneasiness; on the contrary, the trade and commerce of the country have been carried on throughout the war uncommonly well in the face of many unprecedented difficulties. OAR'S OPERATIONS. For the convenience of honourable members I now summarize the most important items relating to the financial operations of the past year : — A loan for £2,000,000 for public works successfully floated within the Dominion. The establishment of a reserve of £3,325,000 in London. Redemption and renewals of loans falling due in London up to 31st March, 1916, amounting to £6,274,953. Conversion of loans falling due in New Zealand maturing up to Ist December, 1916, to the amount of £208,900. Conversion of loans falling due in New Zealand maturing up to 31st March, 1924, amounting to £1,891,100, into a new currency of twenty-five years. Treasury bills in Dominion paid off, £1,950,000. None have since been issued. Net surplus of the year's revenue, £2,017,030. War loans received up to the beginning of May from Imperial Government, £8,500,000.
8.—6
XXV
PROPOSALS. I also place in concise form the new proposals submitted to honourable members:— Reduce public-works expenditure. Repeal mortgage-tax, and substitute an income-tax on sums invested on mortgage by owners. Abolish duplication of income-tax by exempting in New Zealand income earned elsewhere within the British Empire, and which has already been taxed there. Provide for annual bonus out of profits of Public Trust Office to beneficiaries of estates. Provide for war bonus during war to employees of all branches of the Public Service whose pay does not exceed £315 per annum. Provide £2,000,000 for internal expenditure. Provide £500,000 for purchase of lands for soldiers. Adjust conditions by legislation to meet the changes war has brought about in regard to banking. Provide for acquirement of 45 per cent, of profits realized by warconditions. Provide a proportion of moneys required in aid of war finance by issuing war bonds in New Zealand. Provide a tax of 5 per cent, on all incomes, exclusive of those obtained from war profits. To regulate the transfer of moneys from the Dominion except for legitimate trade purposes. To regulate the rate of interest chargeable on deposits. Provide for financial assistance to friendly societies. Provide for borrowing an additional £12,000,000 for war purposes. CONCLUSION. It now only remains for me to say that I fully realize the tremendous growth of the public debt, due chiefly to the Great War ; but, although our responsibilities are increasing enormously, there is no need for misgivings as to the future. New Zealand has wonderful natural advantages, and owing to this fact and the patriotism of the people we are in the fortunate position of being able to meet demands upon our finances. Individual sacrifices, no doubt, have to be made; this is inseparable from the conditions that now exist, but the resources of the country as a whole are more than sufficient to bear the increased strain. I remind the country that there is a sinking fund for the repayment of all loans, including those raised and to be raised for war purposes. The renewal and conversion of loans completed during the year for some years to come will greatly help in providing further financial requirements. The future financial outlook may be viewed with confidence. It is not at any time a pleasant task to submit to the country proposals for increased taxation, but, in view of the justice of the cause for which the Motherland, with her Allies, is now fighting, I do so in full confidence that the people of this Dominion will be in the future, as they have ever been in the past, ready and willing to shoulder the additional burdens with unflinching courage. I feel sure that they will shrink from no sacrifice which will help in the overthrow of an unscrupulous enemy who has forced an unjust war upon the British Empire "and those great countries associated with her. I thank honourable members for the courtesy and patience they have been good enough to extend to me.
