I take this opportunity of pointing
out that the sterling scheme provides an
increment of £50 for a passed cadet who
remains three years without a substantive
appointment.
This will at any rate benefit
the two cadets who were appointed in 1901.
I do not know whether any senior cadets
have accepted the scheme.

In the concluding sentence of para-
graph 6 of his minute on the memorial, Mr
May appears to have lost sight of the fact
that all the cadets who sign this memorial
have joined the Hong Kong service since its
union with the services of the Straits Settle-
menta and the Federated Malay States, and
therefore cannot be said to lose, in conse-
quence of the amalgamation, prospects which
they never enjoyed. The older officers
have certainly not lost, as the table in
15.
paragraph 1 of this despatch clearly shows.
