I have the honour to address you with

regard to the necessity for an increase in the staff

of the Colonial Secretary's Office.

recent years and that there has been an undue strain

on the officers responsible for carrying it out, and

I am convinced that an immediate increase of staff is

necessary, both in fairness to the officers at

present employed and also in order that the work may

be efficiently organised and carried out.
