T. F. Hough.
The Officer Administering the Government
said that the Sub-Committee met to consider his memorandum of
the 22nd. instant drawn up after consultation with Lieutenant-
Colonel A. Chapman and Major Hart-Synnot, and asked if members
had any suggestions to make thereon.
and
Mr. Keswick expressed the opinion that the
success of any scheme of volunteering depended on the personali-
-ty of the Officers. If the officers commanded respect and were
popular volunteering would flourish. If not it would languish.
In this connection Mr. Hough asked whether the rank and file in
the Hongkong Volunteers had any voice in the selection of their
Officers. Lieutenant-Colonel Chapman said that in the selection
of officers the Commissioned Officers were consulted they
being in touch with the Non-Commissioned Officers and men,
that the names to be forwarded for approval by the Governor
were those of men who were acceptable to the particular units
in question provided always that they were efficient and
competent. He said that the rank and file had no direct voice
in the selection of officers. Mr. Keswick explained that in
Shanghai the officers were nominated by the rank and file and
provided that the nominees were competent to efficiently dis-
-charge their duties as officers they were always appointed.
