appointment to Northern Rhodesia (vide your despatch
1027 on 41026 CANo.277 of 19th July, 1933) was selected for service in
Hong Kong after he had completed a course of instruction
at Oxford University and had been awarded a First Class
in the examination at the end of the course. Vr. Edwards
arrived in this Colony on 23rd August, 1933.
3.
As a result of arriving in the Colony nine months before Messrs. Cruttwell and Edwards, Mr. Burgess
will, subject to passing his Chinese examinations within
the prescribed time, be generally one increment in the
time scale ahead of these officers and I should be glad
to learn whether his seniority is to be determined by
the date of his arrival in the Colony in accordance with
the general principle of Colonial Regulation 38 and
whether, likewise, Mr. Cruttwell, who arrived in the
Colony a fortnight ahead of Mr. Edwards, should be senior
to the latter, or whether, in view of the circumstances
of their appointments, some other method of determining
the relative seniority of these three officers should
be adopted.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
Live
Governor, &c.

THE COLONIAL ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE.
HONG KONG CADETSHIPS.
1.
The Civil Service of Hong Kong is recruited
by the selection of Cadets by the Secretary of State.
After satisfactorily completing a period of training,
during which they are expected to learn a dialect of
Chinese and to acquire a knowledge of Government business
they become Cadet Officers and act in various appointments
in the Hong Kong Civil Service.
2. A free passage to the Colony will be provided
for the Cadet, subject to an undertaking to refund the
cost of his passage in the event of his relinquishing
the appointment within three years for any other reason
than mental or physical infirmity. Half salary will be
payable from the date of embarkation from this country, and
full salary from the date of arrival in Hong Kong.
3. Every Cadet on arrival in Hong Kong will be
subject to any regulations as to Cadets (not incons is tent
with this paper) which may from time to time be made by
the Government of the Colony, including regulations as to
examinations in Chinese, etc.
4. A Cadet will serve on probation until he has
completed not less than 2 years' service and has passed
the examinations prescribed by the local Regulations, and
has satisfied the Governor of his suitability for
confirmation in his appointment.
During the probationary
period it will be open to the Governor, subject to the
approval of the Secretary of State to terminate his
appointment if at any time his progress in his studies
or his conduct shall be considered by the Government to
be so unsatisfactory as to rend er such a course desirable.
