in a Post War world/

With reference to para. 3 of the Memorandum which states

hat certain Ueropean members, including those not considered suitable

for promotion to the grade of Sub-Inspector, would be compulsorily

retired on abolition of office with the pension or gratuity etc.etc.

We would point out that any such officer affected by the abolition of

his office who will receive a gratuity, should, under the conditions of

service which his contract was signed, be, under para. V1ll (1) (c)

entitled to a minimum pension.

These conditions of service are

to be found in M

Form 41 --300/6/37.

Should the reforms intended now affect anyone has there

been any safe-guard made regarding "employment after war service",

for, all Pre-War officers present in the Colony at the outbreak of the

Pacific War, under Government Gazette, Extraordinary No. 84,

Proclamation No. 14 dated December 11th. 1941, were made Militiamen

and as this Proclamation has not yet been repealed, all are entitled

to careful and sympathetic consideration.

Who are now liabble to the compulsory retirement at this

stage and what is the existing law referred to in para. 4?

We are grateful for the extension to 15/2/1947 whereby

careful consideration can be made, but, should a satisfactory

conclusion not be reached, further deferment would be appreciated.

As the new salary scheme is to be retrospective from

1/1/1946 it is hoped that those now retiring will receive a pension

in accordance with the salary finally agreed upon.

We feel that the proposed scale of salaries as

intimated in para. 9 of the Memorandum should be amended and with due

regards and respects, we put forward what we consider to be a fair

and just scheme. (attached at 10 a.b.c.)

Para. 10 of the Memorandum refers to the order of

Seniority and how it will be arrived at. Now General Order No.31

of 1946, Part One of the 23rd. of December 1946, publishes the

Seniority Roll.
