As the appointment, however, was one to which Cadets have a preferential claim, Sir Henry Blake caused an enquiry to be made as to whether Mr. Kemp, a Cadet whose seniority and attainments entitled him to such consideration, was prepared to accept the appointment in the event of its being offered to him.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nJOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,\n\n&c., &c.,", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-311 - Acting Governor Major Gen Sir Gascoigne - 1902 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 408598, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-339 - Acting Governor May Governor Nathan - 1907 [1-3]", "page_number": 300, "title": "CO129-339 - Acting Governor May Governor Nathan - 1907 [1-3]", "content_text": "I agree.

Any other course, moreover, would lead to a hopeless muddle. The Treasury interpretation of what was meant by \"allowances\" is the reasonable one, and so far as I am aware, it is what was intended. It is not a very easy thing to put into words, but \"compensatory payments\" is as good as any. In other words, by \"pay\" or \"salary\", the cash remuneration for the service of an officer of his rank or grade in a given post or capacity is meant - by whatever names the payments are called by the Admiralty (whose nomenclature, like that of many of the Colonies, is quite chaotic on this point), while \"allowances\" means something additional in cash or in kind to cover specific expenditure or special discomfort, not to remunerate the officer for special responsibility or work.\n\nAs Commander Taylour's case has shown the danger of one member of the Office going off in a directly contrary direction to the uniform policy hitherto pursued by the rest of the Office, it may be useful if I set down a precis of the existing decisions of which I have cognisance. There may, of course, be others.\n\nThe strongest case in favour of our adhering fixedly to Treasury practice is that of Army or Navy Officers who draw \"Consolidated pay\" as Army Officers.\n\n| Case | Decision By | File Reference |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Consolidated Pay | Sir G. Fiddes | Crow Agents/51317/15 |\n| Engineer Pay | Fr. Collins | S/33076/15 M.S. |\n| Armament Pay | Sir G. Fiddes | - |\n| Coros Pay | - | - |\n| Extra Pay | - | - |\n| Command Money | Pr. Strachey | File/4361(34) West Africa |\n\nThis was raised on Crow Agents/51317/15 - we went to the Treasury and they replied `57150/15 General` that after very full consideration, they had decided that the whole of such consolidated pay must be regarded as pay within the meaning of their Circular of 20th August 1914. We accepted and applied this decision, though it seems clear that consolidated pay covered certain undoubted \"allowances\" which the officer would have drawn if he had not been put on \"consolidated pay\".\n\nThese are specifically classed as \"pay\" for this purpose by Treasury circular of 20th August, 1914. The classification of Engineer pay as pay was discussed and decided upon on `S/33076/15 M.S.`. It was again raised by Captain Gwyther, Public Works Department, Gold Coast, `File5988(10) West Africa`, and the decision was re-affirmed.\n\nLieutenant Commander Greig, R. N. Nigerian Marine Department raised this `File/4361(34) West Africa`. We replied (29th October 1915) that \"as the Admiralty have informed the Crown Agents that Command money is for this purpose regarded as pay and not as an allowance, the Secretary of State was unable to authorize the Crown Agents to disregard the amount of his command money in computing the amount of his Colonial Allowance.\n\nA similar representation was received in August 1916 from Lieutenant C.

He asked (30.10.16) how this was to be treated. Mr. Cowell consulted the Treasury semi-officially. Mr. Waterfield replied that it was presumably what the War Office describe as \"charge pay\" and that if so it would be treated by Treasury as \"pay\". Dr. Gimlette was accordingly informed (21.11.16) that it would be deducted from his civil pay in fixing the amount of his Colonial allowance.\n\n### Transport Allowance\n\nLieutenant Commander A. W. Hunt, Royal Naval Reserve, Nigeria Marine Department raised this (File/1816/19.West Africa). It was ascertained from Crown Agents that Admiralty regarded this as \"pay\" and we replied (18th October 1916) that \"as the Admiralty have informed the Crown Agents that Transport Allowance is for this purpose regarded as pay and not as an allowance\" the Secretary of State was unable to authorise the Crown Agents to disregard the amount of his Transport Allowance in computing his Colonial Allowance.\n\n### Flying Pay\n\nCaptain B. Hellard, Conservator of Forests, Nigeria raised this (File 1540/53). Major Jenkins considered that flying pay should be treated as an allowance. I wrote semi-officially to the Treasury asking how they treated it. Waterfield replied (25th January 1916) that it was regarded as \"pay\" and we told the Crown Agents to reckon it accordingly.\n\n### Charge Allowance or Charge Pay\n\nDr. J. D. Gimlette (G/53908/16 M.S.) lent to Army wrote to say that he got a charge allowance of 108/- a day as Officer Commanding Troops.\n\nDecided by Mr. Strachey.

Such balance should have been covered by a Financial Minute in 1924. BRS Stubbs desp.

This law, however, ($281,579.014) does not tally with the figure in Financial Minute No. 7 of 1925.

In this connection, I have to invite your attention to late Mr. Donar Law's despatch (augh #f) No. qp of the 19 Apr, 1916.\n\nIt would also affect to me desirable that the schedule which accompanied the Financial Minutes should contain fuller information.

The further conference of the 4th June last proceeded on this basis, the P. of S. tel. of \n\nthe 5th June refers \n\nto which the Sec. of S. (Chamberlain) \n\nwas party on \n\nunderstanding. \n\n3. \n\nThroughout \n\nthis \n\nMr Amery has maintained the attitude that \n\nthe charges \n\nare \n\npreferable to be formed \n\nby H.M.

He still adheres to \n\nthis \n\nattitude, but in view of the \n\nfact that the latter arrangement has \n\nbeen in force for \n\nsome months \n\nhe will be prepared, though with \n\nsome reluctance, to acquiesce \n\nin it. \n\nHe considers, however, \n\nthat there is a \n\nstrong \n\ncase \n\nfor \n\nmore \n\ngenerous \n\ntreatment \n\nfor the period prior to the 20th April \n\n1926, when losses were heavier & conditions more \n\ndisturbed, and he is not prepared to support the Govt's recommendation \n\nthat the whole \n\nof the \n\nnet Losses \n\nin resp. of this period should be \n\nborne by Sufl. funds. \n\n4. \n\nFinally, I desire to \n\npoint \n\nout \n\n(a) \n\nthat the claim \n\nreferred to, has been calculated on \n\nthe revised basis, is less than half that anticipated and that had it not been \n\nfor \n\nDistribution List:\n\nMr. E.

The contribution was fixed at £250,000, and the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty requested that the whole sum should not be paid over at once but as required and as expenses were incurred. There can be, I regret, no question of increasing that contribution under the conditions now obtaining in Hong Kong.\n\n3. Interest on the money received from the Shipping Control has always been credited to the Hong Kong General Account, and I entirely concur in the directions given in Colonial Office letter No.`30041/27` of 29th March, 1927, that the accrued interest on the capital sum should be transferred to that same account.\n\n4.

Some doubt exists in the Auditor's mind whether, if the sum of £14,617-0-6 is credited to the Hong Kong General Account, the whole of the sum provided by the special fund will not become liable to military contribution.

No letter has been received from Mr. Savage under date of 30th of June, but it appears that the Department had some correspondence with him a few years ago in which the position as regards his pension was fully explained to him.\n\nIt is true that when Mr.Savage was transferred from the Home Service to Hong Kong it was arranged that there should be no break in his service, which should be regarded as continuous for pension purposes. Mr. Savage at first thought that he would be retired from the Home Service on transfer to Hong Kong and the following explanation was given to him in a letter from the Colonial Office dated the 1st January 1902.\n\n\"Mr. Chamberlain regrets that he is unable to concur in your view of your position in regard to the Home Postal Service, inasmuch as you are not now being superannuated from that service, nor retired with a pension, but transferred to the service of the Government of Hong Kong, while retaining your claim to pension in respect to your Home service, provided that you ultimately retire from the Hong Kong service under circumstances which would entitle you to a pension if you had continued in the Home Service\".\n\nThis does not mean, as Mr. Savage has since claimed, that on retirement from Hong Kong he would receive one pension in respect of his whole service, calculated on his retiring salary, but that on his retirement from Hong Kong in circumstances entitling him to pension, he would receive in respect of his Colonial service a pension from the Colony, as well as a pension from Imperial funds in respect of his Home service. Had there been a break between his service under the Home Govt and the commencement of this service under the HK Govt, he would not have been eligible on retirement from Hong Kong for a pension from Imperial funds in respect of his Home service, and the effect of his service being continuous was to make him eligible for pensions from the Hong Kong and the Home Governments respectively for each portion of his service.\n\nIt is unfortunate that Mr. Savage has since assigned a different interpretation to the correspondence, but the practice followed in his case is in accordance with that generally adopted in all similar cases in conformity with provisions of the Imperial and Colonial Laws. Mr. Savage has thus no basis for his complaint that he has been unfairly treated, and Mr. Amery is afraid that he can gain nothing by pressing his claim.\n\nA B\n\nPage 9\n\nPage 9\n\nPage 10\n\nPage 10\n\nPage 11", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-505-5 Robert A.J.

Thursday happened to be the birthday of the Duke's sister, H.R.H. Princess Mary, and also an anniversary which is very solemnly observed throughout Australasia—Anzac Day. The heavy grey and black clouds hovering over Hong Kong early in the morning had passed away by the time the great P. & O. liner **Morea** entered harbour at ten o'clock, and sunshine and blue skies greeted the Duke of Gloucester as he landed at Queen's Pier an hour later.\n\n### THE PRINCE STEPS ASHORE\n### SCENE ON QUEEN'S PIER\n\nThe official landing of Prince Henry was timed for 11 a.m., but an hour earlier crowds were lining the streets and balconies giving on to Statue Square, and the Star Ferry Wharf was thick with spectators, some of whom had even climbed to the roof. Queen's Pier was decorated with flags, palms, and a red carpet which was upon the steps. On the pier were gathered members of the Executive and Legislative Councils, the Consular Body, representatives of the Churches and of His Majesty's Services.\n\nDrawn up in front of the pier was the Guard of Honour provided by the Somerset Light Infantry, under command of Capt. Strachey. The H.K. Volunteer Defence Force were in Connaught Road between Queen's Pier and the Star Ferry Wharf under the command of Major R. A. Wolfe Murray, and alongside them were some fifty members of the British Legion led by Mr. J. W. James and members of the Ex-Active Service Men's Association under Mr. T. T. Laurensen.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor (Sir Cecil Clementi, K.C.M.G.), accompanied by members of his staff, went out on the launch **Britannia** to the **Morea**, which was anchored in mid-harbour, to greet His Royal Highness, returning at 10.50 to Queen's Pier.\n\nThe approach of the launch **Lila** carrying the Prince with his staff was heralded by the playing of the National Anthem from the quarter deck of H.M.S. **Suffolk**, and as His Royal Highness stepped out of the launch to be greeted by H.E. the Governor, a Royal salute was fired by the same warship and given by the Guard of Honour.\n\nHaving shaken hands with His Excellency, the Royal Visitor was then presented to the following gentlemen who formed the reception party on the Pier—Vice-Admiral A. K. Waistell, C.-in-C., China Station, Major-General J. W. Sandilands, C.B., C.M.G., D.S.O., the Colonial Secretary (the Hon. Mr. W. T. Southorn, C.M.G.), the Attorney-General (the Hon.

He was wearing on this occasion a white uniform with the blue ribbon of the Garter.\n\n### A GLIMPSE OF VICTORIA\n### WEST POINT EN FETE\n\nThe short drive taken by the Prince and his party round the city, between the official landing and his reception in the City Hall, was by way of Connaught Road and Queen's Road to the City Hall, so via Hill Road and the Praya to West Point. The whole route was decorated with flags both British and Chinese, and numbers of people watched from the pavements and balconies overlooking the road. At the junction of Hill Road and Queen's Road West, where the big Chinese Restaurants are situated, a huge triumphal arch which over-topped the buildings was erected. It stretched right across the road in three arches and was built up in three tiers, the second showing one of those scenes of the Chinese Heavens which are often seen on ceremonial occasions in the Chinese quarter. The whole arch was made of coloured and pictured matting and was decorated with a message of welcome in large letters, flowers, and flags. Two smaller arches had been erected in Queen's Road West, and several more of these miniature temples were hung overhead from one side of the street to the other.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-517-5 The visit of the Duke of Gloucester to Hong Kong 2-5-1929 - 23-5-1929.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 519601, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-517-5 The visit of the Duke of Gloucester to Hong Kong 2-5-1929 - 23-5-1929", "page_number": 14, "title": "CO129-517-5 The visit of the Duke of Gloucester to Hong Kong 2-5-1929 - 23-5-1929", "content_text": "## The teams were as follows:- \nNo. 2 Chukka :- \nRed.-H.R.H., Lord Airlie, Comyn, \nand Thomas.

Dr. Wellington, Captain Has-\nkard.\n\n## Japanese Fireworks\nAll points of vantage in the city, on the Praya Reclamation in Wan-\nchai and in the open spaces in Kowloon were thronged with people at night, when the Japanese community entertained His Royal Highness, the Duke of Gloucester with a fireworks display.\n\nThe fireworks started at 10 p.m. and the display was kept up for an hour. Altogether about fifty rockets were fired and the colour combinations produced pretty effects. Red, blue, green and white lights were the predominant shades.\n\nThe rockets were discharged from the Volunteer Parade Ground at intervals of about three minutes and a strong westerly wind carried most of the lights past the city to the Western district, where the Chinese scrambled for the remains of the rockets as they came to earth. Each light is suspended on a paper parachute which is weighted down with a good number of cash and it is this last which is naturally the main cause of the scramble for the parachutes.\n\n## GUESTS AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE\nThe following were guests at Government House:- \n| Name |\n| --- |\n| Sir Robert Ho Tung |\n| Lady Ho Tung |\n| The Earl of Airlie |\n| Mrs. J.

Mr. Major-General Sandilands and Mr. E. Elles partnered Mr. H. L. Smith against Rear-Admiral Meade and Capt. the Hon. W. S. Leveson-Gower, while the Earl of Airlie and Mr. R. H. B. Hancock played against Mr. Lloyd Thomas and Mr. A. Cameron. The foursomes were quite friendly and informal, and no scores were taken.\n\nIncluding His Royal Highness and H.E. the Governor, the majority of the party wore khaki shorts, drill jackets, and khaki topees.\n\nOn arrival at Fanling, the Royal party were welcomed by Mr. L. S. Greenhill, Captain of the Royal Hong Kong Golf Club, and members of the Committee.\n\nLieut. Col. E. D. Matthews, secretary of the Royal Hong Kong Golf Club, who had gone out overnight to make arrangements, was in charge at Fanling, where the distinguished visitors were entertained to tiffin.\n\n## Interest In Kowloon\nWhen H.R.H. passed at 9:30 a.m. on Friday morning along Nathan Road on his way out to the Fanling Golf Course very few people were about. However, Sir Cecil Clementi had given notice that he would be passing about that time and thousands lined Nathan Road waiting patiently for his arrival.\n\n## \"TO MEET PRINCE HENRY\"\n### GARDEN PARTY AT H.K. CRICKET CLUB GROUND\n### PAVILION BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED\n\"His Excellency the Governor requests the pleasure of your company at a Reception on the Ground of the H.K. Cricket Club on April 26, at 4:30 p.m., to meet His Royal Highness The Duke of Gloucester, K.G., G.C.V.O.\"\n\nTwo thousand members of the colony of Hong Kong were thrilled to receive a large card headed with the Royal crest in gold which invited them to meet Prince Henry. And the joy spread further, for frock and hat shops were invaded in order that the ladies of Hong Kong might do honour to the Prince.\n\nMeanwhile the Committee of the Cricket Club had also been busy, and their lovely ground was transformed by banks of flowers, the pavilion hung with bunting, and flag-decked marquees erected in a large semi-circle round the outskirts facing towards the pavilion. In the marquees tea and refreshments were served to the guests, while in front of the pavilion, behind a row of magnificent pot plants, was the \"high table\" and a series of striped umbrellas, at which His Excellency the Governor sat with the Guest of Honour and the Government House party.\n\nThe Prince was received inside the pavilion by Mr. R. Hancock (President) and members of the Committee of the Club, and appeared on the steps with Sir Cecil Clementi at about 4:50 p.m. His appearance was heralded by the band of the K.O.S.B., who were grouped in the middle of the ground, playing \"God Save the King.\"\n\nHis Royal Highness was introduced by H.E. the Governor to the Government House party and then went forward to shake hands with a number of Indian officers who were lined up to meet him, before sitting down to tea.\n\nDuring the tea interval the Pipe Band and the Regimental Band of the K.O.S.B. played alternately. The Pipers marching up and down as they played, with their kilts and ribbons swinging, added considerably to the gay and picturesque effect.\n\nThe following were Sir Cecil Clementi's guests at tiffin on Thursday at Government House :- \n| Name |\n| --- |\n| H.R.H. the Duke of Gloucester |\n| Mrs. Waistell |\n| The Rt.
