Sir--The announcement made
vision of the Civil Servants' salaries on a sterling basie did not come as any great surprise. It has been: known now for some time that representations had been made for an increase in the salaries of officials receiving their salaries on a gold basis, and none will grudge their good fortune. On the basis of the rate of Exchange now ruling.. the married officers will be entitled to an increase of 12 per cent, whila the single officers will receive 6 per cent, more in dollar equivalent of their salaries. On the principle that the labourer is worthy of his hire,
