You will appreciate that it may probably be necessary

to offer any suitable candidates recruited on temporary

ter.as appreciably higher salaries than they would be allowed

if appointed on probation in accordance with the terms of

pamphlet R.D.N.6. I should be grateful to know whether if

necessary you would agree to recruitment on this basis on

the understanding thut, should such officers be transferred

later to the permanent and pensionable establishment, they

would fall into line, as far as salarios are concerned, with

those appointed on normal terms.

gratuity to contract oficer at the end of his contract as

provided in pamphlet R.D.#.6 if he is not transferred to the

permanent establishment. I should be glad if you would

confirm.
