What the China Association really

press for is a 10% cut in H.K. sterling

salaries. I think they

are

right in

their contention that these salaries

ނ

on the high side, but the financial position in H.K. does not warrant a ralary cut. The 1932 budget has been balansed

the baris 18=1/-; there will be big moflesis it remains in

level of 14=1/6.

their letter has been

carefully considered but that the 3.f5.

agrees with the H.K. fort. that the

circumstances in H.K. donot necesitate

a cut of 15%, in sterling

ratories.
