Brought forward....
The post of Chinese Writer in the S.C.A. was left unfilled after the retirement on pension of Mr. Lau Pak-tun on 11.3.30, and no provision for filling the post was made in the 1932 Estimates as it was thought that suitable departmental arrangements could be made.
It has been found, however, that the work of the S.C.A. is severely handicapped by the absence of a writer with the special qualifications neces- sary for this work.
The officer for whose appointment financial provision is now sought will in addition to his duties as writer share in the work of press censor- ship, thus effecting the retrenchment of one of the
sors hitherto employed.
