Q. You will realize that especially in the case of junior officers newly
A.
engaged and imperfectly trained it was necessary to give certain hard and fast rules?
Yes, but my interview was with the Chief Clerk who happens to be sitting at my left ( pointing to Mr. Walter Hamming Chen).
Q. Mr. Chen is not the Chief Clerk.
A.
I don't know his position, but he was there.
Q.
And was he the same gentleman who told you to take the nurse's entry permit application to the general agent?
A. He not only told me but he wrote a memo to the general agent too. Q. Was any reason given for that?
A.
..
Urgency.
You further stated that when you saw the Chief Clerk at a later date you meant Mr. Chen?
A.
Yes.
Q. You say that the general agent had performed no service?
A.
Q.
A.
Absolutely none, except giving a receipt for $2 and $1.
At the same time when you came to my office at a later date you found the permit ready?
The following day I did not find the permit ready, but I submitted the urgency of the case to Mr. Chen who wrote very urgent' and he was kind enough to give instructions to that effect and told me that I could call for the permits in the afternoon.
Q. You said that the permits had been ready for some considerable time?
•
It must have been ready all the time when I was there.
Chairman:
When you called in the morning?
A. No, in the afternoon.
I was protesting at being kept waiting for an
hour, and the permit was then produced out of a bundle.
Q. Where it had been lying apparently completed all the time?
A.
Among a bundle of books.
