Your despatch 19th
August 492 financial position.
I will raise no objection to
announcement in Legislative
Council as proposed in para. 10,
but I desire that it should be
made clear that I contemplate
the possibility of salary levy
having to be continued in 1937
with very great reluctance, and
assurance should be given that
emergency imposition of this
character will not be maintained
any longer than is demanded by
obscurity of financial outlook.
SECER.
