The year 1946 saw the demobilizu- tion of millions of the Armed Forces of every nation. But the British housewife has not yet been demobilized. Her enemy, food shortage, has not yet been defeated. Taking her orders from the Ministry of Food, ake continues in the front line, and so well does she contrive that the general bealth of the nation has never been better. That is. a remarkable achievement. It is not, of courac, due to tho British housewife alone, and she would be the last to claim timt it was. Nevertheless, it is only fair to remember how well she has ser- ved her country, and how ad- mirably she continues to adapt herself to post-war conditions.
For A Century › The whole process is part of an evolutionary movement that has been going on for at least a century. Occasional unofficial striken. however deplorable, and unexpected bottlenecks in production, however annoying. are merely transitory symptoms of the difficulties of post-war adjustment.

In this particular document, general principles are faid down to which Manila the local pattern of salaries, grades and terms of service is expected to conforin, and among them are twa worthy of quotation in full. In the first instance, it is decreed that the salaries of all posts in the public service should be de- termined according to the nature of the work and the relative res"re-establishing

The second main point is that salaries should be fixed at rates applicable to the locally re- cruited staff even though there nay for the time being be grades in which few or no locally re- cruited officers are in fact serving The suggestion is that basic salaries should be fixed having regard to the ruling incone levels in those classes of the local community from which the public service is or will be recruited." These proposals cut across all pre-: vious conceptions of the proper structure of the civil service salary pattern applicable to Hong Kong, and while such a line of approach
