I have the honour to address you with
regard to the necessity for an increase in the staff
of the Colonial Secretary's Office.

I am satisfied that the work of the Colonial
Secretary's Orice has increased very greatly during
recent years and that there has been an undue strain
on the officers responsible for carrying it out, and
I am convinced that an immediate increase of staff is
necessary, both in fairness to the officers at
present employed and also in order that the work may
be efficiently organised and carried out.
