In view of these circumstances and

in view further of the fact that it is not proposed to

only to reduce the salary attaching to it, I cannot see

that it is a hardship to Mr. Woodcock that he should be

Department, in which he originally accepted employment

under the Colonial Government, at the same salary as he
