there should be no difficulty if we make the interest on the Currency Fund available for Hong Kong Government purposes determined by the Secretary of State. It is possible that certain officers, e.g. an railways, have statutory tenure so that the general principle regarding holding office at pleasure is inapplicable.
If so, some amendment of the Ordinances concerned might be necessary.
The general power to amend Ordinances is really open to the objection mentioned in paragraph 7 of 26 though, of course, it need not be used in respect of Ordinances which can only be amended by the Colonial Legislature.
Incidentally, Mr. Monson's point as
regards estate duties furnishes a further very good reason for abandoning the suggestion for wholesal comentary transfer of powers of the Governor and Government officers to the Secretary of State.
If he possesses these or any other functions of special difficulty he could hardly refuse to exercise them.
With regard to the last paragraph of Mr. Monson's minute, I see no objection and indeed no alternative.

The instructions to Mr. Goldburg
must obviously be given. I am still inclined to think that their proposal would be more convenient on the whole than a series of ad hoc Orders in Council. We could, I suppose, take the same line with regard to Hong Kong and the Straits Settlements as we must, of necessity,take in regard to the Malay States, but as it is practicable to legalise the disbursements of Hong Kong and Straits Settlements funds I think we ought to do so.
