I believe that the offer is a temporary remedial measure only having operation during the abnormality of exchange, i.e. while the dollar is less than 3/-.
I discover low rate Janaz definite expression of this assurance in the following words from the Secretary of State's despatch, A 152,
"...receive a ... allowance, while on active service, is to make up their salary to the rate of ... to the dollar."
I submit that when the dollar is permanently at or above 3/-, it will be impossible to receive any allowance, which can be reached.
Further, I am against my entertaining the belief that it would be proposed to continue the 3/- (instead of 4/-) to the dollar when officers are on leave, after the cessation of the allowance in the event of partial rehabilitation of silver to the extent that the quotation dollar shall be at least 3/-.
I note the words "shall be paid when on leave at 3d. to the dollar, and shall in case receive a pensionable allowance."
It appears to me that the Government do not propose to continue the rate of exchange on leave at 3/-, when the allowance, the effect of which is to compensate officers for the abatement from 4/- to 3/-, shall have ceased by the market value of the dollar being equal to or above 3/-.
The above strong verbal indications - taken in conjunction with the expression in paragraph 22 the intent from the despatch to the Straits Settlements - make it clear.
