Your telegram of 29th September Confidential Salaries
Hynes as a member of the Council who has already advised on
temporary increases and who will have to review Commission's
recommendations, prefers not to serve. Further his duties
as Chief Manager of Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation
make it difficult for him to devote sufficient time for the
work. He suggests substitution of independent commercial
member. Lauder,
General Manager of Union Insurance, Canton,
is eminently suitable and will consent to serve. I request
authority for change.
