to review the arrangements relating to the grant of

leave and passages to officers in the Colonial Service.

leave and passages granted to officers in the Colonial

Service should be governed. The need for such a

statement has been scoontuated by the steps which have

been, and are being, taken to carry into effect the

policy of unification in the Colonial Service, since it

is inherent in that policy that the conditions under

which members of a unified Service are employed in

difierent Dependencies should be related to, and, (subject

to such neces ary divergencios as local circumstances

require) brought into conformity with, a common standard

applicable to the Service as a whole. The tak of the

Committee was complicated by the multiplicity and

variety of existing reguls tions and practice, and by the

differences in climatic and other conditions between
