You will realize of course that in dealing with a firm like that of Siemens, which may have indirect enemy connections, points may occur at any time which hamper business.

Indeed, it is his opinion that the world is on the eve of wars more formidable than ever—during which civilisation may disappear.\n\n\"Poison gas and aircraft,\" declares the inventor, \"will be the decisive factors in the next war.\n\nNeither I nor anyone else I know, has discovered a means of protection against the aeroplane, even in its present state of development.\n\nThere exists no means of preventing a flotilla of aeroplanes from flying over London and spreading among the millions of inhabitants a gas which would poison these millions in a relatively short time.\n\nFrom 20 to 50 aeroplanes would be sufficient for this purpose.\"\n\nEdison does not think the aeroplane will play an important part at sea in the next war, although, of course, it can be used against merchant shipping.\n\nAt the same time, he agrees that the surface battleship is rendered obsolete by the developments in submarines and aircraft.\n\nHe considers it necessary now to find means of protection against under sea craft—and not to wait for the next war.\n\nNOTICE.\n\n\"TUNGSHIN.\"\n\nSTRANDED IN SWATOW HARBOUR.\n\nMessrs.

It is stated that the man was not considered for the terms of his licence when the I.G. judicially convicted him to meet the cost of his removal.\n\nThe ground for the refund of the £20 paid in respect of the indulgence passage granted is that the man's passage would have been chargeable against any funds if he had completed his sentence in an English prison. Consequently, it is argued that there is a ground for the refund.\n\nThe W.J. Russianly Victed to meeting the W.V. Mynd stated that the Govt. would be prepared to bear the cost of the prisoner's removal, not considered in the terms of his licence.\n\nIt is asked whether, in view of the fact that 144-Gunner Element's passage would have been chargeable against any funds if he had completed his sentence, there is a case for refunding the cost of his passage to the I.M. Cyrt.\n\n### Notes on the Matter\n\nThe regulation only applies to cases in which a discharged soldier is sent home after the termination of his imprisonment. It has no reference to cases under the Colonial Prisoners Removal Act.\n\nI think the W.J. will only repeat this reply in `72924(6)`, but it will show.\n\nNo. 15° and No. 16/12 were referenced in the correspondence.",

Andrews, formerly Warder in the Prison Department, Hong Kong, for re-instatement.\n\n2.\n\nWhile it is true that Government looks with disfavour on marriages between its European staff and ladies of mixed race, the only action possible is to deny such officers the privilege of occupying Government quarters, and to grant instead the rather less attractive benefits of a rent-allowance, provided the officer is otherwise eligible for married privileges.\n\n3.\n\nBut Mr. Andrews was not so eligible, as it is the rule of the Prison service here that an officer must complete four years' satisfactory service before permission to marry will be given. Mr. Andrews joined the service on 31st October, 1925, and tendered his resignation on 27th January, 1929 i.e., after three years and three months service, for matrimonial reasons. A copy of his letter of resignation is enclosed.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nLORD PASSFIELD,\n\n&c.,\n\n&c., &c.\n\n4.\n\nNo relaxation of the rule regarding married privileges has been made in the cases of Warders Grant and Brimblecombe. Warder Grant had to complete four years service before receiving these privileges, and Warder Brimblecombe, who has still to complete his term, has not yet received them.\n\n5. I recommend that Mr. Andrews be informed that, having resigned from the service of the Government for his own reasons, he cannot be reinstated or re-employed therein.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nMy Lord,\n\nYour Lordship's most obedient, humble servant,\n\nGovernor. &c.\n\nPage 10\n\nPage 11\n\nCOPY.\n\nLAI CHI KOK\n\nBRANCH PRISON\n\nHONG KONG.\n\n10\n\nName.

Reserve\n\nre\n\n## Step 1\nThe task requires proofreading OCR output of historical records related to Hong Kong, transforming the text into standard Markdown, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, rejoining broken sentences, restoring paragraph breaks, indicating missing words, and following specific formatting rules.\n\n## Step 2\nThe given text appears to be a mix of articles, news, and advertisements from a newspaper, likely the South China Morning Post, dated October 23, 1931. The text includes various topics such as legislative council meetings, budget debates, international news, and advertisements.\n\n## Step 3\nTo begin proofreading, we first need to identify and correct obvious OCR errors, such as misrecognized characters, incorrect spacing, and broken words.\n\n## Step 4\nUpon examining the text, numerous OCR errors are evident, including misspellings like \"zivil Hrvata\" which should be corrected to \"civil servants,\" \"éézust ruta\" to \"certain route,\" and \"kačzoaning\" to a more plausible word, possibly \"causing.\"\n\n## Step 5\nThe text also contains formatting issues, such as incorrect paragraph breaks and missing or extra spaces. For example, \"Page 13. „Duging yesterday'ı, Kadynt debati\" should be formatted as a header or title indicating a page break and the start of a new section or article.\n\n## Step 6\nSome sentences are broken across lines or columns without logical reason, and these need to be rejoined. For instance, sentences discussing the budget debate and legislative council decisions are fragmented and require reassembly.\n\n## Step 7\nThe text includes advertisements and news articles that need to be formatted correctly. Advertisements like \"Start-Rite Shoes\" and \"PEBECO TOOTH-PASTE\" should be identified and formatted as such.\n\n## Step 8\nFile references and page numbering need to be formatted according to the rules. For example, \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72,\" and \"Page XX\" lines should be preserved as they are, indicating page breaks.\n\n## Step 9\nGiven the complexity and the volume of the text, a detailed, line-by-line correction is necessary to ensure accuracy and adherence to the specified formatting rules.\n\n## Step 10\nThe final output should be in HTML format using  for paragraphs and \n only when necessary, without including markdown or code fences.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\nPage 13. „During yesterday's, Kadynt debate\n\nCod dem not the proposal, 14 ver the pay of sterling-peld civil servants at certain ruta af sochasDa asi anked fer KE KEPONIE PODKL Awan takım oy an Ammand-maxi, which was Zen, and the Brages ww carried\n\nPage 14\n\nUnofficial members of the Legislative Council\n\nFor the purpose of balancing the budget\n\nBetween the District Officer, Coast and the inhabitants' bone where he met tarday approved, caution fr North of people—savants, buningan | varying tobaccoena duchas, causing the a patamal degree where exte They reduction affects part of | magsales, lawyers, artista, bazzara | duties on light via and imponing a irritation would have been par- the Army and leave saulker per- and above all the economy of the duty on non-intrecasting latach, donable.

Say that, if the A.G. considers the increased salary attaching to the post to be justified by its increased responsibilities, the S. of S. will be prepared to defer to his opinion, but he considers that the increase in salary can be justified by this alone.\n\nIf, upon reconsideration, he still considers that the increased salary is justified by the increased responsibilities of the post, the S. of S. would be prepared to agree to the proposed increase of salary.\n\nP. Roger  \n11. viii. 37.\n\nI agree that an increase in the salary of the post merely to compensate the present holder for loss of prospects will hardly be justifiable. On the other hand, the fact that a post is a dead end is a relevant consideration in fixing the salary, if only from the point of view of getting suitable candidates. I think that it is a fair assumption from paragraphs 3 and 4 of the despatch that the Governor considers the increase to be justified on merits.",

Cunliffe-Lister (now Viscount Swinton) on the subject of the emoluments of the Principal Printing Officer, Prison Department.\n\n2. Mr. A. B. Didsbury, who then held, and who still holds this post, has put forward a case for an increase in his emoluments on the ground that by accepting the position, he thereby lost his prospects of promotion to the post of Chief Warder, which is now filled by a man seven years junior to him in service, who has already attained his maximum of £535 per annum. Mr. Didsbury also pleads in support of his case the increase in his responsibilities because of the great increase in the amount of printing done in the new Hong Kong Prison at Stanley.\n\n3. On full consideration, I incline to the view that the scale authorized in Sir P. Cunliffe-Lister's despatch under reference is too short, and I favour the substitution therefor of the scale £460-£530 by annual increments of £10, that is, a seven year scale in place of the existing two year scale with a maximum of £530 instead of £500. The revised maximum would still be less than that of Chief Warder.\n\n**THE RIGHT HONOURABLE**  \nW.G.A.ORMSBY-GORE, P.C., M.P.,  \n&C.,  \n&C., &C.",

The new salary of £1100, with free quarters reckoned for pension computation at £150 a year, may, I think, be approved. The super scale salaries in the Colony for such posts as the Directors of Public Works, Deputy Inspector General of Police, and Senior Assistant Colonial Treasurer, are £1300 a year, with free quarters reckoned for pension purposes at £150 a year.\n\nThe post of Superintendent of Prisons is a comparatively important one in Hong Kong, and I think we may accept the Governor's recommendation. The confidential reports on Mr. Hopkins are satisfactory, though not particularly enthusiastic, and he will no doubt be considered with other candidates, but in the first place, Proms may wish to suggest other names.\n\n? Approve the new salary, and say that an officer will be selected in due course.\n\nProms. for selection.\n\nThen to incremental scale, a fixed salary for a Dept may be recommended, but that can be done later if necessary. It is certain that £1100 is high enough, and the present Acting Supt. Mr. Hopkins, whose name will be considered with others, has a salary that is on the low side.\n\nP. Rogers (1.12.37) suggests that the Head of the Dept should have a salary of £1100, but it may prove to be in relation to the salaries fixed for other Depts and may need to be reconsidered to attract suitable candidates.",

As regards the proportion in the prison as a whole, after accounting for the inevitable numerous absences on leave and on special duty, only twenty European officers are left for disciplinary duty at any given time in a prison containing 2,700 to 3,000 prisoners; an average of one European officer on duty to every 140 prisoners.\n\n3.\n\nI am advised that with few exceptions the Indian officers recruited in the past can only be regarded as reliable when under direct and constant supervision of a European officer.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nMALCOLM MACDONALD, M.P.,\n\n&C.\n\n&C.,\n\n&C.,",

The vast increase in the Colony's population, due to the Sino-Japanese war, has brought a large number of low-class Chinese into Hong Kong, with the result that the daily muster in Stanley Prison has now reached the large total of approximately 2,900; in these circumstances the present maximum staff of fifty-eight Europeans, which is, of course, subject to constant diminution owing to absence on leave or sickness, is quite inadequate to cope with the duties required of this cadre. Moreover, so large a prison population, containing as it does a considerable number of dangerous criminals, to whom the overcrowded state of the prison offers abnormal opportunities for mischievous or mutinous conduct, necessitates the continuous existence of an armed guard which can be immediately summoned in the event of trouble occurring in any part of the prison.\n\n3. This guard is the more necessary because of the resentment which, I am informed, recidivist prisoners\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nMALCOLM MACDONALD, M.P.,\n\n&C.\n\n&C.\n\n&C.\n\nPage 20\n\nPage 21",

Informers among the prisoners have revealed the existence of more than one plot of violence which it would not be safe to ignore. An addition to the European Warder staff is necessary in order to keep this guard at proper strength.\n\nI have accordingly engaged provisionally these four additional officers on a temporary basis. It is anticipated that for the present year funds will be available to meet the salaries of these posts from savings on Personal Emoluments. I trust that I shall have your approval of my action.\n\nI may add that I have under consideration a scheme for confining short-term prisoners convicted of crimes, such as persistent begging, hawking without licences and so forth, in one or more detention camps: these will have no connection with Stanley Prison except, of course, that they will be under the Commissioner of Prisons' control.\n\nThese camps will serve to relieve Stanley Prison of some hundreds of short-term prisoners who should not be brought into contact with the more hardened criminals; moreover, the persons confined there will be employed on useful work, such as reclamation.\n\nIt is, therefore, more or less certain that before long I shall apply to you for your approval of the expenditure of a considerable capital sum for the erection by contract of the nucleus of the first detention camp. I hope, however, to build the remaining",

When Stanley Prison has been relieved of its present congestion and the long-term men therein have resigned themselves to the prospect of a less comfortable existence than heretofore, the danger of an outbreak in that gaol may pass. But the detention camp or camps will, I hope and expect, be a permanent feature of this Colony's prison organisation and they will certainly need a number of European Warders. I can therefore foresee no reduction in that cadre unless and until the total prison population is greatly reduced. In present circumstances it is useless to prophesy when that state of affairs will arrive; and I assume for that reason that next year's estimates will include this additional provision.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour most obedient, humble servant,\n\nMark A.

I enclose an extract, dealing with that subject, from a report made by him on the Female Prison in September last.\n\n2. I am in full agreement with the Commissioner of Prisons that the salary paid to the Matron who, as he states, is in entire charge of the prison, subject only to the supervision of the Commissioner on his periodical visits, is grossly inadequate for her responsibilities. The same applies to a lesser degree to her immediate assistants, but after discussion it has been agreed that the salaries offered to the wardresses are not inadequate, having regard to their qualifications and to the salaries paid to other female employees of the Government, including the nursing staff of the Medical Department.\n\n3. I seek your approval, therefore, for the adoption, with effect from 1st January, 1939, of the following scales for the Matron, Assistant Matron, and Principal Wardress:-\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nMALCOLM MACDONALD, M.P.,\n\n&C.\n\n&C.\n\n&C.,",

So far from that, indeed, we have been\n\nimpressed with the importance which\n\nWillcocks has attached to obtaining\n\na good man for this appointment to strengthen\n\nthe Prisons staff;\n\nand although Commander\n\nHelbert may not now be available we\n\nwould be quite ready to do our best to find\n\na suitable alternative candidate, if you\n\nwould still like us to do so.\n\nYrs.

Helbert, R.N., for an appointment in the Colonial Prisons Service.

Language qualifications required.\n\nTo be able to converse in Urdu would be an advantage.\n\n3. Salary of office. (see also under 4)\n\n£500 - £820 (£500 for the first two years and then by annual increments of 1 of £70, 4 of £25, 1 of £90, and 2 of £30) plus a non-pensionable residential allowance payable only while in Colony at the following rate: 10% of the first £400 of salary, 5% of the second, 21% of the third.\n\n4. Conversion of salary into local currency.\n\nSalaries are converted for payment in local currency at a rate fixed from time to time by Government.

Contribution to Widows' and Orphans' Pensions Scheme. Allowances, quarters and other circumstances affecting the value of office.\n\nA deduction of 4% from salary is made as contribution to the Widows' and Orphans' Pensions Scheme.

The number of licences issued in Hong Kong in 1936 was over 7000; the number now is over 10000. This number probably includes English and Chinese listeners, and largely due to the latter, it is expected that a Bulletin in Chinese would be necessary to print in Chinese as well as English.\n\nThere is a head in the HK Estimates for the Broadcasting Dept, to which the salary of the Editor, who is to assist in the ordinary work of that Dept, should be charged to Personal Emoluments subhead, in the first instance at any rate.\n\nThe Government is asking for a blank cheque for a series of Hank cheques for financing the Bulletin, and some sort of an approximate estimate should be furnished before approval is given. This is a departure from the normal procedure.",

An additional reason for avoiding such supplementary votes is, of course, that it is not desired to give too much publicity to the precise objects underlying the issue of the review. I should be glad, therefore, to know whether you would be prepared to approve charging the revenue and expenditure to a Suspense Account under Colonial Regulation 273.\n\n3.\n\nIt has been necessary to engage an editor for the review, and Mr. E.
