TELEGRAM from the Governor of Hong Kong
Secretary of State for the Colonies.
152
(Received Colonial Office 6.10 p.m., 17th July, 1918.)
Your telegram 12th July has been communicated to unofficial members of Legislative Council who authorise me to state that the question of making similar conces- sion to men who volunteered was considered fully by them and in view of all the circumstances they agreed with
my views. They agree that Military separation allow-
ance should be taken into account. In my telegram 5th July no reference was made to pre-war earnings and I
propose to adhere to date mentioned in that telegram
which is about the date proposals for conscription
became public. I propose not to promilgate the scheme
of separation allowance and insurance to consider the
question of the Colony itself undertaking the insurance.
MAY.
