With reference to your letter of the 1st

March, relative to the temporary advance in salaries

granted to the European employees of the Government

of Hong Kong who have been recruited from Home, I am

commanded by My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty

to acquaint you that they have noted the information

contained therein, and to request that the Secretary

of State may be pleased also to furnish them, with

regard to paragraph 2 of your letter, with full

particulars as to any further improvements on account

of the increased cost of living which he may authorise

for these employees.

I am to return herewith, the copy of the

Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure of the Colony at

Hong Kong for the year 1920, which was enclosed with

your letter under reply.

Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office,

S.V.

I am, Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

Meran
