STANLEY INTERNMENT CAMP. HONG KONG,

COPY OF ORIGINAL

125

The following extract from a recent minute by the Hon.

Colonial Secretary (now Sir. Franklin Gimson, Governor of

Singapore) in connection with a complaint from a subordinate

officer against another (senior officer) is circulated for

the information of all ranks on the point of discipline :-

traditional

of the Hong Kong

** I understand that it was the/practice

Police Force to require that Junior members in addressing

their seniors should adopt some mark of respect due to the

seniority of rank. In Stanley the Hong Kong Police Force is

still regarded as being administered under those conditions

which were observed prior to internment as far as internment

permits. The contracts of employment of members of the

Police Force with the British Government are still in

operation and it is confidently expected that the terms of

these contracts, especially in relation to pay, will be

fulfilled.
