in a post war world./
With reference to para 3 of the Memorandum,
which states that certain European members, including those not
considered suitable for promotion to the grade of Sub-Inspector,
would be compulsory retired on abolition of office with the pension
or gratuity etc, etc. We would point out that any such officer
affected by the abolition of his office who will receive a gratuity,
should under the conditions of service which his contract was
signed, be, under para VIII (i) (c) entitled to a minimum pension.
These conditions of service are to be found in M Form 41--300/6/37.
Should the reforms intended now affect anyone
has there been any safe-guard made regarding "employment after
war service", for, all Pre-War officers present in the Colony at
the outbreak of the Pacific War, under Government Gazette, Extra-
ordinary No. 84, Proclamation No. 14 dated December 11th 1941
were made Militiamen and as this Proclamation has not yet been
repealed, all are entitled to careful and sympathetic consideration.
Who are now liable to the compulsory retirement
at this stage and what is the existing law referred to in para 4 ?
We are grateful for the extension to 15.2.1947
whereby careful consideration can be made, but, should a satisfactory
conclusion not be reached, further deferment would be appreciated.
As the new salary scheme is to be retrospective
from 1/1/1946 it is hoped that those now retiring will receive a
pension in accordance with the salary finally agreed upon.
We feel that the proposed scale of salaries as
intimated in para 9 of the Memorandum should be amended and with
due regards and respects, we put forward what we consider to be
fair and just scheme. (attached at 10 a/b/c)
