Dear Sir Henry,
I have discussed both with sir Everard
Fraser and Captain Barrett the draft of the Indian Watchmen Bill,
which accompanied your letter of the 17th. April. As you are
doubtless aware, a certain section of the Indian Watchmen in
Shanghai are under polios control, although I understand that
such control is exercised purely as an administrative arrangement
and not by virtue of any powers conferred on the Police by law. Naturally, therefore, the so-called "Police" Watchmen in Shanghai
are not subject to Folios authority to the extent that is contemplated in the new Hongkong Bill; but for all that they perform their duties under Police supervision, and for slackness or misconduct they are liable to be fined or to be removed
entirely from the Police list. Neither Sir Everard Fraser nor Captain Barrett thinks that the supervision so exercised by the Pclics has tended to make Indian Watchmen averse to submitting themselves to Police control. On the contrary the Police have usually a long waiting list, and men seem to be anxious to have their names on it because they are aware that employment is ther an ultimate certainty. Without a recommendation from the Police the chances of obtaining a good situation are less favourable, because non-chinese employers of Indian Watchmen seem to prefer men who are vouched for by the Police, and whose efficiency is to some extent guaranteed by the Police supervision. Captain Barrett tells me, moreover, that the watchmen under Police supervision are better behaved and seem less liable to drift into the class of the politically disaffected.
The experience gained here would go to
show that with the enactment of the new measure your Indian watchmen, because better supervised and controlled, should be better behaved and more efficient. Captain Barrett tells me
