5th January, 1928.

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of

my?

your letter of the 15th December, No.30256/1927 regarding the

PE 23126 complaints made by two Sanitary Inspectors (Mr. A.W.Charity

and Mr. J. Hughes) as to the information they received at this

office when interviewed in connection with their posts.

PE 23471

2. We have no hesitation in stating that when these

two gentlemen were interviewed, the nature of the appointments

was not misrepresented to them, and that we gave them no

assurance that they would receive rapid promotion.

3*

I may add that no information was given to them

here as to the necessity of acquiring a knowledge of the local

language as we were unaware that this necessity existed.

If

the Government of Hong Kong wishes such information to be given

to candidates, it should be stated in the papers of particulars

regarding vacant posts sent from the Colony, as is done by the

Governments of the Federated Malay States and Ceylon.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

Wat bichhar

for CROWN AGENTS.

The Under Secretary of State,

COLONIAL OFFICE.
