HONG KONG.

With reference to Colonial Office letter

No.53890/38 of the 16th November, 1938, and enclosures,

regarding the rate of conversion of dollar pensions

payable from the Hong Kong Widows and Orphans Pensi on

Fund, we conclude that Mr. E.J. Pierpoint has been

informed of the decision to retain the old rate of

33.0d. to the dollar in his case. Since, however,

according to our records there would appear to be a

number of other pensioners who may be similarly

affected, it seems desirable for us to be furnished

by the Government of Hong Kong with a list of

those to whom the decision may also apply in order

that they may be informed of the position.

Will you please say whether you propose to write to

Hong Kong in this sense, or whether we should do so?
