experienced in recruiting suitable men. Except in
the special cases to which I have referred in this
despatch, where immediate relief appears to me
necessary, I consider that it will be better to deal
with all claims for higher remuneration comprehensive- ly and not by a piecemeal process. Instances of questions which would fall appropriately under this heading are the pay and the conditions of service of graduates of the Hong Kong University employed in the Education and Medical Departments, and the minimum pay of Sanitary Inspectors, Wireless Operators and Public Works Department Inspectors. Concerning
these I refer to your despatch No.450 of 23rd
December, 1926, in which you state that you are
averse fran the idea of increasing the number of
permanent European officers on a salary as low as
£260-10-£360, and to your despatch No.56 of 16th
February, 1928, in which you state that the lack of
success which attended the efforts of the Crown
Agents to secure candidates for posts as Sanitary
Inspectors last year makes it clear that men with
the requisite qualifications cannot be obtained for
Hong Kong at the existing rates of salary, if the
conditions are properly understood.
