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 :-

"I understand that it was the traditional practice of the

Hong Kong Police Force to require that junior members in

addressing their seniors should adopt come 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 te pay, will be fulfilled.
