Dear Edmonds,

TREASURY CHAMBERS,

13

GREAT GEORGE STREET, 162

8th February, 1946.

LONDON, S.W.1.

I refer to your letter of 6th February about the Chinese Police Inspectorate at Hong Kong.

The position as I understand it is that a fairly large scale re- organisation is on the way but that meanwhile you wish urgently to proceed with recruitment of a superior type of man in the Chinese Inspectorate to offset the reduction in the Europeans and for that purpose you are satisfied that a considerable improvement in scales is required. On that understanding,

We agree to the introduction of the scales set out in

the first parágraph of your letter.

B.D. Edmonds, Esq.,

Colonial Office.

Yours sincerely,
