Pension Ordinances. The It. Governor's minute has struck out to this extent that pensions or gratuities are made payable on retirement in conformity with the provisions contained in various Ordinances relative thereto.\n\nIt was intended to provide for compulsory retirement by ordinances, so the proposed power to retire for inefficiency must be provided for (if at all) by ordinance.

The \"Pension Scheme\" Ord. of 1910, which amends S.3 of Ord. 20(1) 1862, makes provision for this in the case of \"all Judges and other public officers\".

It is only suggested that the Hong Kong station should be \"deferred\" but nothing is said about when it is likely to be possible to take up the work. Hong Kong has shown great keenness for a high power wireless station - not necessarily as in the Imperial Wireless Chain proposals but preferably one which could communicate direct with India - and public opinion there will be bitterly disappointed. It will be remembered that Hong Kong was prepared to contribute half the annual loss on working up to £12,500.
