M. Mende
Of course a
medical certificate would be required & I should hardly think it necessary to say that in a telegram.
My doubt as to the advisability of acceding to the proposal
is rather connected with the terms of the appointment;
Military officers, if seconded, have
to come back to their rank in the service,
but I do not think this possible with
Civilians, & I doubt whether the
case where any
"officer has been seconded"
on the terms of this sort.
It should not
be lost sight of that no Department of
the Govt Imperial or Colonial, as suggested
has any control
over the appointment.
It has
been offered to W. Mclaren; & I do not understand exactly
what is to be his position towards the Hongkong Govt if for
any other reason but ill health his appoint-
ment should be terminated before the expiration of 10 years.
The ratepayers of Shanghai may not like him when they have got him,
or they may decide to decrease the salary of his office on economical grounds,
or other contingencies may arise.
I should be rather disposed to ask the Treasury,
whether if a similar application had been made for an officer in the Imperial service,
their Lordships would have been disposed to entertain it, & if so,
what conditions they would have attached to their permission.
