Mr. August, 1907, states that it was not intended that the Sterling Salaries should necessarily be equal to the Dollar Salaries with Double Exchange Compensation. This is undoubtedly the case, because the Secretary of State (C.O.D. Confidential of 16th August, 1901) directed this Government to draw up a Sterling Scheme in which the Sterling Salaries should approximate to the then existing dollar salaries with single compensation. After this scheme had been drawn up the Secretary of State decided to grant double compensation, that is to make all Cadet Salaries sterling salaries. The result was that the Secretary of State in 1902 introduced two Sterling Schemes, a higher one, and a lower one. All the Cadets already in the service, with the exception of Mr. Orue and myself, were allowed to take the higher sterling salaries on the ground that the single compensation half dollar half sterling salaries, which were reproduced in the lower sterling scheme, were not a sufficient remuneration. Orme and myself, being then in the Service, were not allowed a similar choice and in common with later Cadets are placed on the lower salaries on the ground that, for us, the lower salaries are sufficient. I may add with regard to myself that holding a permanent appointment with an increment, I am at the present time as Acting Assistant Colonial Secretary drawing £280 per annum less than I should be drawing if I were still a Passed Cadet.

Mr

August, 1907, states that it was not intended that the Sterling

Salaries should necessarily be equal to the Dollar Salaries

with Double Exchange Compensation. This is undoubtedly the case,

because the Secretary of State (C.0.D.Confidential of 16th.

August, 1901) directed this Government to draw up a Sterling

Scheme in which the Sterling Salaries should approximate to the

then existing dollar salaries with single compensation. After

this scheme had been drawn up the Secretary of State decided to

grant double compensation, that is to make all Cadet Salaries

sterling salaries. The result was that the Secretary of State

in 1902 introduced two Sterling Schemas, a higher one, and a

lower one. All the Cadets already in the service, with the

exception of Mr. Orue and myself, were allowed to take the

higher sterling salaries on the ground that the single compensa-

-tion half dollar half sterling salaries, which were reproduced

in the lower sterling scheme, were not a sufficient remuneration

Örme and myself, being then in the Service, were not allowed a

similar choice and in cormon with later Cadets are placed on

the lower salaries on the ground that, for us, the lower salarieð

are sufficient. I may add with regard to myself that holding a

permanent appointment with an increment, I am at the present

time as Acting Assistant Colonial Secretary drawing 28 per

annum less than I should be drawing if I wára still a Passed

Cadet.
