I am sorry to say, overbearing, wanting fair play. I want to refer to the papers in particular reference which dealt with the Hong Kong police Scandals where I think Sir I Wingfield expressed strong views as to the matter in hand. There are some scandals in connection with the inspectorship. I don't think he has the fact or the managing ability for a governor.
In recent papers 4BL 31/12 I do not agree with the above minutes. Mr May broke off and asked me whether there would be any room in his applying for the governorship of Newfoundland. I told him there could be no possible harm, but gave a non-committal and discouraging answer on account of other claims and so forth. There being no vacancy, I told him there was no chance.
In addition, it is perfectly time that he was examined, as Mr Cox says, for the way he dealt with the scandals. He is a man who saw grave danger if he dealt with problems astray, determined to make amends and learnt from his mistakes. As a colonial Secretary, he has done excellently. We selected him to be Colonial Secretary of Ceylon, the best colonial Secretaryship and better than that of a small government. He gave a frank account of Sir M. Nathan, who has the highest opinion of him and, I have no doubt, would strongly recommend him. As acting governor of Hong Kong, he was very successful. His wife is the daughter of a former colonial governor. His banker is admirably suited to the position of governor's life.
He is well fitted to be Governor of Newfoundland.
My Opinion on Governor of Newfoundland: C.PL. Jan: He may be noted as a candidate. Lugard has written a letter in his favour. Whether for or against, his name has been mentioned.
Please note on Gov's list T.CH. at meeting 8/1 2.1 Govis. Noted that it was considered on 23.1.
