whose permanent abode is in this country, with a view to complete their education.
Certain arrangements have been made for my children when they come of age.
When the list of officers entitled to exchange compensation was prepared in Hong Kong, my name was not included therein, and I have been thereby debarred from the privilege of enjoying compensation.
Such compensation is granted to the satisfaction of the Governor of the Colony that the officer applying for it has connections with a gold standard country involving considerable expenditure.
A proportion of his salary is prospectively based on his ultimate residence in a country with a gold currency.
I beg for permission to point out that though born in Hong Kong, my children will be brought to England to pursue their studies in this metropolis (as mentioned in the second paragraph of this letter).
My wife will in all probability accompany them. It will be the case with many others.
This grant was conceded by Government in view of the high cost of living in Hong Kong, especially for Europeans, whose customs and way of life render it much more expensive than what it used to be a few years ago.
To establish a claim towards the grant, it is sufficient to show that one has relatives here for over a long period, others in Lisbon for a like period, and eventually my home will be permanently established in Europe.
The withholding of the exchange compensation from me now entails a hardship.
