I did not consider that there was any necessity

for disciplinary action on the lines of the 1931 enquiry,

particularly as by refusing to recommend his promotion to

Class I I considered that I was inflicting as severe a penalty

as could be expected from such a process.

5.

In anticipation of your approval I have promoted

Mr. H.R. Butters to the first, instead of the second, of

the two vacancies in Class I mentioned in my confidential

despatch of 28th December, 1938; and I should be glad if

the filling of the second of those vacancies could be held

in suspense for the time being.

6.

Mr. Wynne-Jones is an able officer of a somewhat

volatile temperament and I have hopes that the action now

taken may have the effect of making him take a more serious

view of his responsibilities; and if this hope is fulfilled

I might feel justified, after a suitable period, in

recommending him for promotion.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble servant,

Past. Wattwa

Governor.
