Sir,

PRINTED FOR USE IN THE EASTERN COLONIAL OFFICE. No. 79.

C.O. 2398

Government House: 20 JAN 12, Hongkong, 11 December, 1901.

With reference to your Confidential Despatch of the 15th August last, and in continuation of my Confidential Despatch of the 25th October, I have the honour to inform you that in accordance with your instructions I have caused a scheme of salaries to be drawn up on the lines indicated by you, and I now submit that scheme, accompanied by the following general remarks for your consideration.

2.

I observe that the new scheme of salaries must be regarded as applying only to officers entering the service after August, 1901. If your decision on this point is final, I must ask for instructions as to whether or not the promotion of an Officer from one of the Eastern Colonies to another will be taken to involve the acceptance of a Sterling salary. All members of the Cadet Class, at least, are made clearly to understand, before they leave England, that they are liable at any time to transference from one of the Eastern Colonies to another, and that for such purposes the Civil Services of these Colonies are one. The question, therefore, arises as to whether a member of the Hongkong Service, for example, who has drawn in this Colony a dollar salary with Exchange Compensation, would begin, on promotion...

To THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,

&C...
