These are rather unusual proposals, but if

the F.M.S. Government agree. I do not think we

need object. As regards Dr. Jackson, his salary

is at present $800 per month; with temporary

allowance, and with the exchange at about 2/-

that will work out at 13,440 Hong Kong dollars

per year. The maximum of the scale originally

proposed for the Malarial Research Officer was

Carbensation £1,040 per year, with exchange ition allowance and at the same rate of exchange as above, this

works out at 13,728 Hong Kong dollars per year.

Theref Dr. Jackson is in effect being given the maximum

of the scale. His salary is to be fixed

irrespective of exchange fluctuations. result of this will be that he will lose, as compared with other Hong Kong officers, if

the

value of the dollar rises, and gain, if it falls.

If the arrangement suits him, there seems to be

no reason to object.
