During that period, he has been placed in sole charge of a large Government Civil Hospital at Matale, in the Central Province, and of the Judicial duties of the District, as well as the Superintendence of Vaccination. He has been recently removed to Head Quarters, to take charge of the Hospitals attaching to the large Jails of Hultsdorf, and Welikada, and of the Police and Judicial duties of Colombo. He believes he has performed all these duties, which are of a responsible nature, to the entire satisfaction of the Head of his Department, to whom he appeals with confidence.\n\nYour Memorialist, having come to hear that the appointment of Colonial Surgeon of Hongkong is about to become vacant by the retirement of Dr. Murray, begs most respectfully to offer himself as a candidate for the vacancy.\n\nHe humbly trusts that his past services to the Government, and the experience he has gained in his profession, and in official routine therefrom, will be taken by your Excellency into favorable consideration in support of the application which your Memorialist now ventures to prefer, and he prays that your Excellency will be kindly pleased to nominate him to the appointment of Colonial Surgeon of Hongkong, when such appointment shall become vacant.\n\nFor which act of goodness,\nYour Excellency's Memorialist, as in duty bound\nShall ever Pray,\n\n**J.

À l'inintelligence ou au manque d'obéissance de nos officiers (Bruit à gauche. - Oui, oui à droite.)\n\nM. le ministre. Messieurs, nous espérons très fermement que la phase des opérations militaires sera courte. Eh bien, il nous a semblé que lorsqu'il s'agit d'administrer, d'organiser, bien plus que de conquérir et de faire la guerre, une pareille tâche se trouvait naturellement dévolue à un fonctionnaire civil. Il y aura dans cette tâche de quoi occuper toute son attention, absorber toute sa sollicitude et nous ne pouvons pas voir comment un officier, qui sera grandement occupé à organiser ses troupes, à les instruire, à les installer, à les approvisionner, pourrait mener de front une tâche qui a son caractère d'urgence.\n\nNous avons eu encore une autre raison tirée des préjugés, des habitudes des populations auxquelles nous avons à faire et qui pourra peut-être, chez quelques-uns d'entre vous, causer un certain étonnement, mais dont aucun de ceux qui connaissent ces pays, qui ont étudié les mœurs de l'extrême Orient, ne pourra contester la valeur; cette raison, c'est que, contrairement à ce qui se passe partout, au rebours de ce qui semblerait une loi de l'esprit humain, s'il n'y avait sur la planète quatre cent millions d'hommes qui sont dominés par un sentiment contraire, parmi les populations auxquelles nous avons affaire, devant lesquelles nous allons nous trouver, ce n'est pas l'uniforme, ce n'est pas l'épée, c'est le fonctionnaire civil qui a le plus grand ascendant.\n\nVoix nombreuses à gauche. C'est vrai !\n\nM. le ministre. Eh bien, messieurs, voilà quelques-uns des motifs qui nous avaient déterminés. Nous n'avions pas cru qu'il fût nécessaire d'introduire la décision à laquelle nous nous étions arrêtés sous forme d'article dans le projet de loi présenté à la Chambre des députés. Mais la commission parlementaire, interprète en cette circonstance, nous avons tout lieu de le croire, du sentiment général de la majorité, qui ne veut point d'entreprises hasardeuses, qui répugne à toute opération téméraire, qui consent à se prêter à une action limitée parce qu'elle est indispensable, mais qui ne veut pas être entraînée plus loin qu'il ne convient d'aller, cette commission a demandé comme gage l'insertion de cet article.\n\nPermettez-moi d'en dire un mot. Je tiens à réfuter ces objections pour justifier - et cela ne me sera pas, je pense, bien difficile - le consentement que nous avions cru devoir donner à la demande de la commission de la Chambre des députés.\n\nOn a dit que quelques-uns des adversaires les plus ardents de l'article 2 sont allés jusqu'à dire que cet article est inconstitutionnel, qu'il constitue un empiètement du législatif sur l'exécutif; on a dit qu'à tout le moins, il est anti-gouvernemental puisqu'il lie le Gouvernement dans une question où il lui importait à un si haut degré de conserver sa pleine liberté d'action.\n\nInconstitutionnel, c'est un bien gros mot, et ce reproche, s'il était fondé, me toucherait vivement. Il ne peut reposer, dans tous les cas, si ma mémoire est fidèle, que sur les paragraphes 3 et 4 de l'article 3 de la loi du 25 février 1875, lequel dit que le Président de la République dispose de la force armée et qu'il nomme aux emplois civils et militaires.\n\nLe Président de la République nomme aux emplois civils et militaires ! Mais, messieurs, en quoi, je vous prie, l'article que nous avions accepté porte-t-il la moindre atteinte à ces attributions, implique-t-il une diminution de cette prérogative ? Emporte-t-il une confusion de l'exécutif et du législatif ? Le Parlement, messieurs, déciderait par les dispositions de l'article 2, si elles étaient adoptées, que la haute administration au Tonkin sera confiée à un fonctionnaire civil chargé d'organiser le protectorat, et que ce fonctionnaire civil sera investi d'une certaine autorité, à l'égard des forces de terre et de mer.\n\nMessieurs, qu'est-ce là, sinon une décision abstraite, une solution de principes, une règle d'organisation, nullement une mesure d'exécution exclusive du ressort de M. le Président de la République, comme le serait, par exemple, la désignation, pour remplir les fonctions qui venaient d'être créées, d'une personnalité déterminée.\n\nSavoir prendre les responsabilités, quand il le faut, est le devoir du Gouvernement. Au contraire, le temps lui en était laissé, il n'hésiterait à demander une modification de la loi, et cette demande, si elle était fondée sur des raisons sérieuses, ne lui serait pas refusée par le Parlement. (Bruit à droite. — Très bien, très bien à gauche.)\n\nM. le baron de Lareinty. Je demande la parole.\n\nM. le ministre. On a fait une autre objection; et c'est celle sur laquelle on a le plus insisté dans quelques bureaux, on l'a entendu formuler dans nos couloirs, dans nos conversations avec une certaine chaleur; elle consiste à dire qu'il est inadmissible que le commissaire civil ait autorité sur les forces de terre et de mer; que la subordination des troupes de terre et de mer à leurs ministres respectifs, est un principe absolu, qui ne comporte ni exception, ni tempérament.\n\nJe crains qu'il n'y ait là une certaine exagération. À vrai dire, qu'est-ce que nous faisons ? Le commissaire civil que nous enverrons au Tonkin aura, dit l'article 2, autorité sur les forces de terre et de mer. Nous ne sommes pas moins respectueux de la subordination militaire que de la Constitution, nous tenons également à ce que ni l'une ni l'autre ne reçoive aucune atteinte.\n\nEh bien, il nous a semblé, messieurs, que cette disposition n'était pas autre chose que l'application restreinte, ad hoc, d'un principe posé dans le sénatus-consulte du 3 mai 1854 relatif aux colonies; en effet, l'article 9 de ce sénatus-consulte porte : « Le commandement et la haute administration sont confiés, dans chaque colonie, à un gouverneur.»\n\nLe sénatus-consulte ne dit point si le gouverneur sera militaire ou civil. À l'heure qu'il est, le gouverneur général de la Cochinchine est un civil et il a sous ses ordres, sous son autorité, toutes les forces que nous avons au Tonkin; le commandant Rivière relève de lui.\n\nDe telle sorte que la mesure que nous vous demandions d'adopter ne modifiait en rien la situation actuelle ou du moins ne la modifiait qu'en un point : c'est que l'autorité du gouverneur de la Cochinchine ne peut être que très faible et presque illusoire sur des forces qui opèrent à 400 lieues de Saigon, tandis que le commissaire civil désigné pour le Tonkin, étant sur place, pourra s'entendre avec l'autorité militaire et qu'il sera à même d'apprécier à chaque instant la situation et les nécessités qu'elle peut comporter.\n\nEt le gouverneur civil de l'Algérie, messieurs, est-ce que lui aussi n'a pas autorité sur les forces de terre et de mer ? Il a l'autorité, mais il n'a pas le commandement. Il n'y a donc ici rien de nouveau, et l'expression d'autorisé, vague peut-être, mais qui sera éclairée, précisée, limitée par les instructions données au commissaire civil, ne fait que constater un fait connu et admis : c'est qu'il faut, quand on a côte à côte plusieurs autorités, que quelqu'une d'elles ait le dernier mot et que, là où il s'agit d'organisation bien plus que de conquête, il est naturel, il est nécessaire que le dernier mot appartienne au commissaire civil.\n\nMais, ajoute-t-on, dans tous les cas, il est anti-gouvernemental, car vous vous êtes dépouillés d'un droit qui appartient naturellement à l'exécutif. Vous vous engagez à nommer un commissaire civil, sans savoir si telle circonstance ne viendra pas à se produire qui vous obligerait à nommer un fonctionnaire militaire.\n\nJe ne sais pas ce qui peut arriver; il est possible que ces éventualités se produisent; dans tous les cas, elles sont en ce moment une hypothèse, et, en y regardant avec attention, on reconnaît qu'elles sont assez lointaines. Mais, à supposer qu'elles vinssent à se produire, croyez-vous que nous serions dépourvus de ressources ? Il y en a une qui se présente tout naturellement à l'esprit : c'est que, s'il le fallait, si certaines circonstances sinon absolument impossibles, du moins à l'heure qu'il est, très invraisemblables, venaient à se produire qui rendissent impossible le maintien d'un commissaire civil, nous prendrions, sous notre responsabilité, en cas d'urgence, les mesures nécessitées par les circonstances, quitte à nous mettre en contradiction avec la loi.\n\nNous ne désarmons pas le Gouvernement, nous ne confondons pas l'exécutif et le législatif; nous ne portons aucune atteinte à la hiérarchie militaire qui, vous pouvez m'en croire, nous est aussi chère qu'à qui que ce soit parmi vous. Nous avions simplement consenti à insérer dans la loi une mesure qui nous paraissait commandée par la situation.\n\nAnnée 1883\n\nDÉBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\n307\n\n25 Mai (SÉNAT) 549\n\nD'abord, messieurs, je dois commencer par vous dire que la commission s'est presque unanimement montrée favorable à l'envoi d'un commissaire général civil au Tonkin, parce que, d'après les déclarations qui lui ont été faites par le Gouvernement, d'après les renseignements qui lui ont été donnés, elle est convaincue que l'action militaire sera probablement de très peu d'importance, que les opérations de ce genre ne présenteront pas des difficultés sérieuses et seront facilement dirigées par un officier supérieur placé, je ne dis pas sous l'ordre immédiat - je m'expliquerai tout à l'heure à ce sujet - mais sous la direction politique d'un commissaire général civil.\n\nMaintenant, messieurs, cette disposition est-elle à sa place dans une loi de finances ?... Je ne prétends pas décider à cet égard; je ne recherche pas s'il serait préférable qu'une loi de crédit ne contînt que des dispositions d'ordre budgétaire; je n'examine pas s'il est admissible en mainte occasion, et même rationnel dans certain cas, que le Parlement, au moment où il vote un crédit, détermine les conditions dans lesquelles il en sera fait emploi.\n\nPar conséquent, lorsque la commission a repoussé cet article, ce n'est pas qu'elle se déclarât hostile à l'envoi immédiat d'un commissaire général civil; mais elle a trouvé qu'une pareille disposition ne pouvait pas, ne devait pas figurer dans un texte de loi, parce que le Gouvernement, seul responsable de son action, doit être laissé complètement libre dans le choix de ses agents, de ses collaborateurs.\n\nJe pourrais à cet égard citer bien des précédents, mais ces précédents, messieurs, ne paraîtraient peut-être pas à tout le monde avoir une analogie suffisamment directe avec le cas qui nous occupe. Ils prouveraient au moins que jamais la ligne de démarcation n'a été tracée d'une manière très nette et avec une rigueur absolue entre les dispositions budgétaires et les dispositions organiques ou réglementaires.\n\nMessieurs, je ne soutiendrai pas - je me démentirais moi-même - que la Chambre des députés n'a pas pris une précaution peut-être excessive en introduisant dans la loi cette disposition.\n\nJe crois que cette insertion s'explique par des raisons plausibles, par des raisons patriotiques; mais je crois aussi, et je demande au Sénat la permission de lui dire qu'il ferait bien de ne pas s'arrêter à des inconvénients plus apparents que réels et qui, dans tous les cas, n'ont rien de dangereux.\n\nCe qui pourra être plus grave, ce qui ne sera pas sans offrir un danger, c'est de renvoyer la loi devant la Chambre des députés... (Oh, oh ! Rires et murmures à droite)\n\nM. le baron de Lareinty. Il faut alors supprimer le Sénat !\n\nM. le marquis de Carné. Alors, ce n'est pas la peine de nous consulter !\n\nM. le ministre. ...au risque de réveiller à l'égard de notre action au Tonkin, de l'extension qu'elle peut prendre, des périls qu'elle peut entraîner, des défiances que nous avons fait tous nos efforts pour dissiper. Ce qui serait dangereux surtout, ce serait, messieurs, de nous condamner à un retard qui, ne fût-il que de quarante-huit heures (Murmures à droite), pourrait, dans quelques semaines, vous causer à tous d'amers regrets, et que nous avons des raisons très fortes et qui ne vous sont pas inconnues, d'éviter, si nous le pouvons. (Vive approbation à gauche. - Protestations à droite.)\n\nM. l'amiral Jauréguiberry. Je demande la parole.\n\nLa commission a pensé, en un mot, que le pouvoir législatif n'a pas le droit d'imposer tel ou tel choix au pouvoir exécutif. En effet, comme je viens de le dire, nous croyons qu'il n'y a aucun inconvénient à l'envoi d'un commissaire général qui sera simplement chargé de l'administration, de l'organisation d'un pays dans lequel il faut établir des règles d'ordre, de gouvernement, des règles financières et administratives qui n'ont jamais existé.\n\nMais les circonstances peuvent changer; elles ont peut-être même changé à l'heure où nous nous trouvons, d'après la déclaration par laquelle M. le ministre des affaires étrangères a terminé son discours; en admettant toutefois que le danger n'existât pas aujourd'hui, il peut se présenter évidemment dans un avenir plus ou moins éloigné, des soulèvements, des révoltes générales dans le pays, une action d'une puissance voisine, voire même une guerre européenne qui peut obliger le Gouvernement à confier la défense du Tonkin ou de la partie du Tonkin que nous occupons, à un gouverneur militaire.\n\nDans ce cas, faudra-t-il que le Gouvernement, enchaîné par une loi, se présente devant le Parlement, alors que les circonstances pourront être très urgentes, pour demander que cette loi soit annulée ?\n\nM. le ministre des affaires étrangères, avec la noblesse de son caractère, vous a déclaré que le Gouvernement prendrait toutes les responsabilités, qu'il agirait pour le mieux, et qu'ensuite, il demanderait un bill d'indemnité. (Exclamations à droite.)\n\nM. le ministre des affaires étrangères. Vous pourrez le lui refuser.\n\nM. l'amiral Jaurègulberry. Il serait plus simple, je crois, de laisser le Gouvernement libre de son action, et de ne pas l'enchaîner par une loi. Puisqu'il doit prendre la responsabilité de tous les actes dont il est l'auteur, il faut le laisser agir comme il le juge convenable pour le véritable bien du pays, pour les intérêts de la cause qu'il soutient, pour prévenir des difficultés que tout le monde peut prévoir.\n\nC'est pour cela que la commission n'a pas voulu adopter le premier paragraphe de l'article 2.\n\nM. Boffet. Je la demande après, monsieur le président.\n\nM. le président. La parole est à M. l'amiral Jauréguiberry.\n\nM. l'amiral Jaurégulberry. Messieurs, c'est avec une certaine appréhension que j'aborde cette tribune, car c'est un honneur bien périlleux pour moi que celui d'avoir à répondre au discours que vous venez d'entendre. Cependant, je crois, permettez-moi de vous le dire, que M. le ministre des affaires étrangères a produit ici des arguments qui n'existaient pas dans la pensée de la commission et qui ne répondent pas aux objections qu'elle a formulées contre l'article 2.\n\nVoilà tout, messieurs; voilà ce que nous avons voulu faire et ce qui nous a déterminés à accepter l'article 2 et son introduction dans la loi; nous n'innovons pas, nous ne violons aucune règle.\n\nQuant au second paragraphe, dont M. le ministre des affaires étrangères n'a pas parlé, la commission l'a rejeté, parce qu'elle ne comprend pas qu'un fonctionnaire soit nommé par deux ministres, ou, plutôt, sur la proposition de deux ministres, car les nominations sont signées par M. le Président de la République. Elle voit à cela un très grand inconvénient.\n\nEn effet, ce fonctionnaire, nommé par deux ministres, doit correspondre avec chacun d'eux. Or, il est évident, pour toutes les personnes qui connaissent ce qui se passe généralement dans les colonies, dans ces pays lointains où l'imagination s'exalte, où la moindre difficulté grandit d'une manière démesurée, que, si ce fonctionnaire reçoit de l'un des ministres, du ministre de la marine, par exemple, un refus à telle demande, un ordre qui ne lui conviendrait pas, il écrira immédiatement au ministre des affaires étrangères et de là surgira naturellement un conflit.\n\nCela n'empêche pas le Gouvernement, le conseil des ministres d'intervenir; nous savons tous, en effet, que lorsqu'il s'agit de la nomination d'un fonctionnaire, d'un grade aussi élevé, le conseil des ministres est consulté, et, sur le choix qui est proposé, chaque membre présente ses observations dont le ministre compétent tient grand compte.\n\nPar conséquent, toutes les responsabilités sont sauvegardées et toutes les garanties sont données.\n\nOn nous objecte que, pour certains fonctionnaires, le département des colonies est obligé à chaque instant d'agir de concert avec le ministre de la justice et avec le concours de la grande chancellorie; pour tous les pourvois en cassation, il faut s'adresser au ministre de la justice qui a seul autorité pour saisir la cour suprême.\n\nPour toutes les demandes de grâce et de commutation de peine, il faut encore un ordre et une décision de la chancellierie. Enfin, il se présente une foule de circonstances qu'il serait trop long d'énumérer ici, dans lesquelles l'action du ministère de la justice est indispensable.\n\nMais dans le cas dont nous nous occupons, ce n'est pas la même chose, et je me demande ce que peut avoir, et réellement j'en demande bien pardon à M. Challemel-Lacour - ce que peut avoir à faire le ministre des affaires étrangères dans une question où il faut administrer, organiser, dans laquelle l'action diplomatique est nulle, puisque toute action diplomatique doit être traitée à Hué d'un côté, et à Pékin, de l'autre.\n\nIl est évident que le commissaire général que vous enverrez au Tonkin, n'aura pas à entrer en négociations avec aucun gouvernement. Il n'aura qu'à exécuter purement et simplement les ordres qu'il recevra du ministre de la marine, je le répète, seul responsable, en vertu surtout de l'article 3, introduit par la Chambre des députés, puisqu'il est seul obligé de rendre compte au Parlement de ce qui s'est passé pendant le courant de l'année.\n\nJ'arrive maintenant au troisième paragraphe, et c'est sur le troisième paragraphe que, je crois, M. le ministre des affaires étrangères n'a pas compris, sans doute par ma faute, puisque j'ai pris la parole au nom de la commission, n'a, je crois, peut-être pas bien compris, dis-je, quelle était la pensée de la commission.\n\nPour mieux me faire comprendre, je tiendrais à dire au Sénat comment les choses passent dans les colonies qui ont déjà un gouverneur...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-214 - Public Offices & Others - 1883.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 339292, "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": "CO129-241 - Governor Des Voeus - 1889 [1-7]", "page_number": 728, "title": "CO129-241 - Governor Des Voeus - 1889 [1-7]", "content_text": "The intention being to make such rules and regulations as regards bumboat, water boat, cinder boat, etc., chiefly with a view to Police identification.\n\n(Signed) Andrew J Leach, \nActing Attorney General\n\nB&S(40,041a) 6000 3—~89\n\nNo. 223 \nDate: 12 July 1889 \nLast previous Paper: W 10556. \nStory Kory No. 17429 \n\n**DESPATCH.**\n\n| No. | Subject | Remarks |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 17429 | Petition of Nehall Light | His statement appears to be utterly untrue. |\n\n(Minutes.) \nMr. Maydo(?)

Les sympathies de mon pays, de mon gouvernement, ainsi que les miennes, ne sont ni moins sincères, ni moins profondes que celles de n'importe lequel d'entre vous. Le peuple serbe aurait volontiers donné jusqu'à son dernier denier pour venir en aide à ses frères russes qui meurent de faim; mais le peuple serbe n'a aucune confiance ni dans les intentions ni dans les paroles des dirigeants de Moscou.\n\nCe n'est pas dans la sécheresse qu'il faut chercher la principale cause des malheurs de la Russie, mais dans le régime bolcheviste, dans ce régime qui a fait de la Russie un véritable enfer. Le bolchevisme est la négation de tout régime socialiste, de tout régime sensé. Il n'a su, jusqu'à présent, que détruire. Le communisme russe a réussi admirablement à réaliser son idéal infernal, c'est-à-dire à établir partout l'égalité dans la misère.\n\nEn effet, Messieurs, les dirigeants de Moscou ont rendu égaux tous les bourgeois, tous les ouvriers, tous les paysans de Russie, égaux par la misère et dans la misère. Le bolchevisme est un cas pathologique. C'est une maladie. Elle a commencé par un delirium tremens. Elle a dégénéré en une paralysie progressive qui est en train d'aboutir lentement à la mort économique de la Russie.\n\nAvec la diminution du travail et de la production, ce sont d'abord les habitants des villes qui ont commencé à fuir dans les campagnes. Bourgeois et ouvriers ont abandonné peu à peu les villes et les usines et sont allés dans les villages pour y chercher de quoi se nourrir. Puis, par suite de mesures communistes, par suite de l'application de leurs doctrines à la vie sociale, par suite de la nationalisation de la terre et des réquisitions incessantes des biens des paysans, la production a commencé à diminuer également dans les campagnes, et, enfin, elle a complètement cessé. Et maintenant, que voyons-nous ? Au moment où la nature envoie à la Russie ce nouveau malheur qu'est la sécheresse, nous voyons que des villages également commencent à fuir. Ce sont des milliers et des milliers d'êtres humains, vieillards, femmes et enfants qui s'enfuient dans la direction de l'est, sur les routes et dans les forêts qui conduisent vers la Sibérie, vers le Turkestan, cherchant à assouvir leur faim en mangeant l'écorce des arbres et même de la terre, et multipliant les misères le long des routes.\n\nToutes les richesses de la Russie, sa fortune publique comme sa fortune privée, ont été ainsi gaspillées par le régime bolcheviste, notamment pour une propagande insensée, dans le but de faire la révolution sociale universelle sur le modèle de la révolution russe, et avec toutes ses conséquences, dont la première est la dictature du prolétariat, ce qui signifie la dictature dans la misère de tout le prolétariat. Quelle ironie cruelle ! Après avoir considéré la Russie comme son grenier, l'Europe qui croyait, il y a quelques mois, y trouver le moyen de remédier à la cherté de la vie et de résoudre les problèmes économiques qui se posaient devant elle, est obligée de sauver aujourd'hui ce pays de la mort.\n\nCertes, c'est un devoir qui nous incombe à tous sans exception: peuples, gouvernements, institutions, de venir en aide à la Russie. Mais ce devoir s'impose avant tout à ceux qui sont les auteurs de cette situation, au Gouvernement de Moscou. Ou bien le peuple russe continuera à ne plus travailler et à mourir de faim, ou bien les bolchevistes devront quitter le pouvoir. Il n'y a pas d'autre issue.\n\nLe salut de la Russie est entièrement entre les mains du Gouvernement de Moscou, et il ne peut sauver la Russie qu'à la condition de s'en aller. C'est ce que tout gouvernement ayant du cœur et du patriotisme aurait certainement fait à sa place; mais je crains fort que le Gouvernement bolcheviste de Moscou ne le fasse pas. Il s'efforcera de nous tromper en attendant notre secours, afin de prolonger sa misérable existence et de continuer son expérience fatale.\n\nLes bolchevistes s'adressent maintenant indirectement à la Société des Nations. Rappelons-nous en ce moment que, dès les premiers jours de notre existence, ils se sont montrés les ennemis irréductibles de toutes nos institutions de la Société des Nations, ainsi que du Bureau international du Travail. Ils nous ont traités d'institution bourgeoise et nous ont prêté des intentions inavouables. Quand on voit qu'ils ont eu l'audace d'opposer la troisième Internationale de Moscou à la Société des Nations, on a le devoir d'opposer ses principes et ses méthodes aux leurs.\n\nproductive power of the country diminished also, and as a result there are now millions of people flying eastward, living on earth and the bark of trees. All the reserves of Russia have been squandered, and squandered very largely in a propaganda the object of which was to produce the same terrible conditions elsewhere. The dictatorship of the proletariat means the starving of the proletariat. What irony that the granary to which we looked to remedy the evil of the high cost of living is now appealing to us, and we have to act to save that granary!\n\nIt is the duty of all of us to help, but it is also the duty of the authors of that misery to do something to alleviate it. Either the Russian people will continue not to work and continue to die of hunger, or the Moscow Government must go. It is their duty to withdraw, but I do not believe they will continue to try and deceive us, and to get our support in order that they may continue their nefarious course.\n\nBolshevism is the enemy of our institutions. They have accused the League of Nations of being a bourgeois institution; they have even had the impudence to attempt to oppose the Third International in Moscow to the League of Nations. Their method is to set classes at issue with each other—it is the antagonism of classes. Our method is the union of classes in the State and the union of States in the League of Nations. Therefore we must face the problem; we must save Russia from Bolshevism, for if Bolshevism continues, then all our efforts for Russia will be in vain. I think of the two scourges, Famine and Bolshevism—Bolshevism is the worse of the two.\n\nI therefore propose an amendment, and I beg M. Motta to see whether he cannot accept it. I propose that we should begin Resolution No. 3 by these words:\n\n“The Assembly most severely condemns the economic and political system of the Soviet Government, and holds it chiefly responsible for the present catastrophe in Russia, and for the attempt to conduct a criminal propaganda with the object of causing similar catastrophes in other countries.”\n\nThe PRESIDENT.\n\nInterpreter:\n\nI suggest that we should now adjourn till this afternoon at 5.30 p.m.\n\n-18-\n\nThe Assembly adjourned at 1.5 till 5.30 p.m.\n\nLeurs principes et leurs méthodes consistent dans l'antagonisme des classes, dans la lutte irréductible entre les classes dans l'État, comme entre les États dans la Société.\n\nNos principes sont, au contraire, dans la solidarité entre les classes dans l'État et entre les États dans la Société des Nations. Notre but, c'est le travail et c'est l'évolution.\n\nNous nous trouvons en présence du problème suivant: sauver la Russie sans sauver le bolchevisme. En effet, si les bolchevistes se maintiennent encore au pouvoir après la catastrophe de cette année, tout l'effort que l'on aura fait pour sauver la Russie sera resté vain, parce que le maintien du bolchevisme en Russie équivaut à l'extermination progressive et assurée du peuple russe, et je ne crois pas qu'il soit de l'intérêt de l'Europe de la provoquer.\n\nDes deux fléaux, qui, depuis quelques années, accablent la Russie, dont l'un s'appelle le bolchevisme et l'autre la famine, le premier est le plus terrible et c'est à lui qu'il faut penser. C'est pourquoi je vous invite à souligner mes observations de la façon suivante: je vais vous soumettre, en priant M. Motta de vouloir bien l'accepter, un amendement qui n'est pas bien grave, qui ne modifie en rien l'esprit de la résolution qu'il nous soumet, qui la complète seulement.\n\nJe vous prie de vouloir bien écrire en tête du paragraphe 3 de la résolution la phrase suivante:\n\n« L'Assemblée condamne avec la dernière vigueur le système économique et politique du Gouvernement des Soviets, en le rendant principalement responsable de la catastrophe actuelle en Russie, ainsi que des tentatives de propagande criminelle, ayant eu pour but de provoquer de pareilles catastrophes aussi dans d'autres pays. »\n\nMessieurs, élevez votre voix dans un moment aussi tragique. Puisque vous ne pouvez donner au peuple russe aucun secours matériel, apportez-lui au moins un secours moral qui lui sera précieux et qui sera enregistré dans l'histoire de la Russie pour l'éternité. (Applaudissements.)\n\nM. le PRÉSIDENT. Je vous propose, Messieurs, de renvoyer la suite de la discussion à 17 heures 30. (Assentiment.)\n\nLa séance est levée à 13 heures 5 minutes.\n\n-19-\n\nPrinted by Alb.

I attach copies of clause 22 of Sir Paul's will and of clause 4 of the first codicil to the will, which govern this matter.\n\n2. Lady Chater left Hong Kong for the United States of America in June last with the intention of returning again to Hong Kong towards the end of this year and then inhabiting \"Marble Hall\" for a short time, after which she proposed to leave this Colony for good. She is now, I believe, in Paris. She does not, I understand, intend to make \"Marble Hall\" her home, and this house will, therefore, soon become the absolute property of the Hong Kong Government.\n\n3. \"Marble Hall\" is a very fine residence, built by Sir Paul Chater for his own occupation. It is beautifully situated.\n\nThe Right Honourable Lieutenant Colonel L. C.M.S.

There is no purpose for which \"Marble Hall\" can suitably be used by the Hong Kong Government, but I have the honour to suggest for your consideration and that of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty that this residence would be an exceptionally fine \"Admiralty House\" for the use of the Naval Commander-in-Chief of the China Squadron. The China Station is the only foreign naval station in which the Admiral commanding-in-chief has no residence: and Hong Kong being a British naval base, situated near the centre of the China Station, is in every respect the most suitable place in which to provide the Naval Commander-in-Chief of the China Squadron with a residence. Sir E. Alexander-Sinclair and I have made inspections of \"Marble Hall\" both severally and jointly, and we concur in the opinion that it is well fitted to be the \"Admiralty House\" of this Colony.\n\n5. I therefore recommend for your approval that \"Marble Hall\" with its fixtures, furniture, and household effects should, when it becomes the property of this Government, be offered to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty upon the understanding that they will use it as the official residence of the Naval Commander-in-Chief of the China Squadron and will maintain it and keep it in proper repair at their own expense and will return it to...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-498-26 Marble Hall- bequest by Sir Paul Chater- Kt.- C.M.G- to the Hong Kong Government 23-11-1926 - 11-1-1927.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 506508, "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": "CO129-498-26 Marble Hall- bequest by Sir Paul Chater- Kt.- C.M.G- to the Hong Kong Government 23-11-1926 - 11-1-1927", "page_number": 8, "title": "CO129-498-26 Marble Hall- bequest by Sir Paul Chater- Kt.- C.M.G- to the Hong Kong Government 23-11-1926 - 11-1-1927", "content_text": "## Enclosure to Despatch\n\n& to the Hong Kong Government in good order and condition, should they cease to use it as the \"Admiralty House\" of this Colony.\n\n6.

In the event of the recommendation in the preceding paragraph being adopted, I would further propose that this Government should forego the Crown Rentals.

The whole sub-section could probably be left out.\n\nSub-section 3 is even more badly drafted than most of the amendments. The effect seems to be that where an officer ceases by change in the law to be a contributor he is to receive back half his contributions. This applies to all officers whether they have any beneficiaries when so ceasing to be contributors, or not. It is all right to repay a bachelor or a widower without children, (suitably restricting the refund in the latter case), but officers with beneficiaries ought not to receive any refund in respect of any period during which their beneficiaries have been entitled to receive pension. Unfortunately, the provision already exists in Section 3(1) of Ordinance 5 of 1921 (21256/1921); that is a bad precedent which must not be followed. The proviso to sub-section 3 seems to be entirely unnecessary as the sections referred to are not contained in \"any subsequent enactment\" and are therefore outside the purview of the sub-section. Anyway, there is no Section 4(2), perhaps Section 3(2) is meant.\n\nSub-section 4 is, as 'Objects and Reasons' state, inserted by way of abundant caution.\n\nThe Sub-section 5 follows the usual rule that refunds are to be made without interest.\n\nObjects and Reasons mentioned in para. 2 certain references to funds, still remain in the Principal Ordinance. As this is based on the Ordinance which transferred the funds to the Government, it is clearly obvious that some reference must be found in the preamble; but the reference elsewhere, that is, in Section 2(b) and Section 3(1)(d) are quite unnecessary, and ought to be deleted.\n\nPage 9\n\nPage 9\n\nPage 10\n\nIt will be seen that the only important amendment which it is possible to approve is the reduction of the 8% tables which has, in fact, already been approved.

There is no possibility of effecting the amendment of the age limit of male children which the Governor regards as urgent and important, and it would therefore be easiest to pass immediately an amending Act bringing into force the new tables and to proceed more leisurely with the remainder. As there are so many amendments, and as the existing Ordinance is by no means satisfactory, the opportunity should be taken to revise the whole thing, and I would suggest that we send out a copy of the Nigerian Ordinance as a model. We should, of course, be careful to point out that the practical provisions in the two Colonies must necessarily be different, (e.g., the period of contribution) and that it is only the general provisions of the Nigerian Ordinance which should be followed.\n\nI do not know whether we might not, at the same time, suggest to them the adoption of the system of voluntary contributions which is still under consideration in the Straits, (see 29093/27).\n\n?

The pension for the second son, Robert, expires on the 26th November of this year. The elder son has now begun an apprenticeship in the North of Scotland Bank, Hanover Street, Edinburgh, and during his probationary period has given every satisfaction. His salary as an apprentice is totally inadequate to keep him in clothing, board, and lodging, etc., as prices at present are very high, especially in our cities. The second boy is to get an opening in the Shell Mex. Co., a company affiliated with the Asiatic Petroleum Co., at the office in Renfrew St., Glasgow. All being well, I expect him to get a start in July or August of the present year.\n\nAs their father had subscribed to the Widows' and Orphans' Pension Fund during his 25 years of service, I should be most grateful if you would use your influence by continuing the pension a few years longer, in order to give them a chance to complete their apprenticeship, as it is at this time money is most required, and circumstances have arisen which make it very difficult for us to help them, and openings for boys are so hard to get that one has to make a big effort to keep them.\n\nTrusting", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-505-8 Widows' and Orphans' Pension legislation- raising of pensionable age limit of male orphans 22-6-1927 - 7-11-1927.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 511753, "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": "CO129-505-8 Widows' and Orphans' Pension legislation- raising of pensionable age limit of male orphans 22-6-1927 - 7-11-1927", "page_number": 18, "title": "CO129-505-8 Widows' and Orphans' Pension legislation- raising of pensionable age limit of male orphans 22-6-1927 - 7-11-1927", "content_text": "18\n\nTrusting that this letter may receive your careful consideration and again begging your pardon for the liberty taken,\n\nAddress\n\nThe Dell,\n\nBallinling,\n\nPerthshire,\n\nScotland.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\n(Sd.)

CALCULATION OF QUANTITIES (OR TABULAR RESULTS) FOR AGES NOT GIVEN IN THE TABLES.\n\nTABLE A.—The quantities are given for every age of the husband from 15 to 64; and for every fifth age of the wife from 15 to 65. Ages of husbands and wives below or beyond are to be treated as the youngest and oldest ages given respectively.\n\nFor the intermediate ages of wives, interpolate by the first differences, as follows:-\n\nTo find the quantity corresponding to the ages of a husband and wife aged, respectively, 35 and 27 next birthday. The quantity for ages 35 and 25 given in the Table is........ .482.\n\nThe quantity for ages 35 and 30 given in the Table is..... .507.\n\nSo that the addition of five years to the age of the wife results in an addition of .025 to the quantity given in the Table for ages 35 and 25.\n\nAn addition of two years to the age of the wife accordingly results by proportion in an addition of two-fifths of .025 to the quantity given in the Table for ages 35 and 25. Two-fifths of .025 is .01, which added to .482 gives .492 which is the required quantity corresponding to ages 35 and 27.\n\nTABLE B.—This Table is divided into eleven sections, respectively, applicable to officers who will be aged next birthday 55, 56, 57 up to 65, when they complete their period of contribution. Care should in all cases be taken to turn to the section which contains in the heading the age of the husband at the date of completion of his period of contribution.\n\n1", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-505-8 Widows' and Orphans' Pension legislation- raising of pensionable age limit of male orphans 22-6-1927 - 7-11-1927.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 511764, "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": "CO129-505-8 Widows' and Orphans' Pension legislation- raising of pensionable age limit of male orphans 22-6-1927 - 7-11-1927", "page_number": 29, "title": "CO129-505-8 Widows' and Orphans' Pension legislation- raising of pensionable age limit of male orphans 22-6-1927 - 7-11-1927", "content_text": "13\n\nIn each section the quantities are given for 35 consecutive ages of the husband, terminating at the age preceding that at which the contribution ceases, and for every fifth age of the wife from 15 to 65.\n\nAges of the wife below or beyond are to be treated as the youngest and oldest ages given, respectively. For the intermediate ages of wives interpolate by first differences as explained above. Thus, the quantity found from the first section of the Table (age 55) corresponding to the ages of a husband and wife aged, respectively, 45 and 38 next birthday is three-fifths of .18, added to 2.39, which gives\n\n2.50.\n\nFor officers who commence to contribute at an earlier age than 20 next birthday the method of calculation given in the subjoined examples is to be followed :-\n\nEXAMPLE (1)—An officer aged 17 next birthday, having a wife aged 15 next birthday, commences to contribute. Assume that the officer is aged 20 next birthday, so that the quantity found from Table B will be 8.30.\n\nThis officer receives an increment of salary at age 22 next birthday, when his wife's age is 20. Assume that his age is 25 next birthday—i.e., his actual age 22 plus the difference between his actual age at entry and 20, which is three years. The quantity found from Table B will be 7.00.\n\nEXAMPLE (2)—An officer aged 19 next birthday commences to contribute as a bachelor, and five years later, when aged 24 next birthday, marries; his wife's age being 20 next birthday. The quantity found from Table A in accordance with Rule I (a) will be taken for the actual ages (husband 24 and wife 20) and will be .683. With respect to the current annual contribution at marriage, assume that the officer's age is 25 (his actual age plus one) so that the quantity from Table B will be 7.00.\n\nThis officer receives an increment of salary when aged 39, when his wife's age is 35. Assume as before that the ages are 40 and 35, respectively, so that the quantity found from Table B will be 3.61.\n\nNOTE. It will be observed that this method takes account of the actual number of years for which the annual contribution will run. In example (1), when the officer receives the increment of salary at age 22 he has contributed for five years, so that at the expiration of 30 years his contributions will cease. Similarly, in example (2), when the officer marries at age 24, he also has contributed for five years, so that although he is two years older than the officer in example (1), yet the unexpired period of contribution is the same in each case, and the wife's age is in each instance 20, so that no important error is involved in using the same tabular quantity for the two cases.\n\nTABLE C.—The quantities are given for the same ages as in Table A. Ages of husbands and wives below and beyond are to be treated as in using that Table.\n\nFor the intermediate ages of wives interpolate by first differences as explained above, except that it must be noted that in this Table an addition to the age of the wife results in a deduction from the quantity given in the Table.\n\nTo find the quantity corresponding to the ages of a husband and wife aged, respectively, 35 and 27 next birthday,\n\nThe quantity for ages 35 and 25 given in the\n\nTable is.... .2.074.\n\n...1.974.\n\nThe quantity for ages 35 and 30 given in the\n\nTable is......\n\nSo that the addition of five years to the age of the wife results in a deduction of .100 from the quantity given in the Table for ages 35 and 25.\n\nAn addition of two years to the age of the wife accordingly results by proportion in a deduction of two-fifths of .100 from the quantity given in the Table for ages 35 and 25.\n\nTwo-fifths of .100\n\n=\n\n.04, which deducted from 2.074 leaves 2.034, which is the required quantity corresponding to ages 35 and 27.\n\n32", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-505-8 Widows' and Orphans' Pension legislation- raising of pensionable age limit of male orphans 22-6-1927 -

This Ordinance deals with a number of proposed amendments to the Widows' and Orphans' Pensions Ordinance which have been collecting for some time.\n\n2. Though there is no longer any widows' and orphans' pension fund, certain references to a fund are being allowed to remain in the principal Ordinance. The reason for this is obvious throughout the title and preamble. The word is being allowed to remain in section 3 (4) (d) because it was used in Ordinance No. 5 of 1921. It is being allowed to remain in section 2 (b), partly because of section 3 (4) (d) and partly because it did not seem worthwhile to amend section 2.\n\n3. The effect of section 3 will be to exclude from the widows' and orphans' pension scheme all Indian members of the staff of the Prisons Department. This is believed to be in accordance with the wishes of the present Indian members of the Prisons Department. In 1921 an amending Ordinance enabled the Indian prison officers whose salaries were less than $120 a year to choose whether they would continue to contribute to the scheme or not and without exception they elected not to contribute. Indian prison officers who are now contributing are given by section 19 of this Ordinance the option of continuing to contribute. Any such officer who elects not to contribute will be allowed to withdraw on the usual terms, i.e., he will get back one half of his total contributions without interest.\n\n4. For many years the widows' and orphans' fund, and the succeeding widows' and orphans' pension scheme, were confined to persons permanently employed in the service of the Government and to certain members of the police force. In 1921 the scheme was extended to persons appointed on agreement for any period exceeding two years. This caused various difficulties and it is now proposed to revert to the original rule and to confine the scheme to officers on the permanent staff. This is effected by the repeal of section 3 (1) (c) of the principal Ordinance. It will be noticed that in that paragraph as printed in the present edition of the Ordinances \"not exceeding two years\" is a misprint for \"exceeding two years\". Certain members of the police force have always been included specifically because, though they in fact serve on agreement for successive terms of five years, they are substantially permanent officers. They are dealt with in section 3 (1) (5) of the principal Ordinance. Subordinate officers of the Prisons Department have another peculiar system of engagement. They are engaged in the first instance on one year's probation. If they prove satisfactory they are taken on for a five years period which runs from the commencement of their year's probation. If they still prove satisfactory they are taken on the permanent establishment. As explained above the Indian prisons officers are being excluded from the Ordinance. The proposed new sub-paragraph (e) of paragraph (1) of section 3 of the principal Ordinance includes in the definition of the term \"officer\" all European prisons officers except officers on probation. It should be noted that such officers should not begin to contribute until the completion of the period of probation, whether that be the original period contemplated of one year or an extended period. This is in accordance with the present practice.\n\n5. Sub-paragraph (d) of paragraph 1 of section 3 of the principal Ordinance is by section 5 to be made general, so as to include any persons who exercise an option under the present Ordinance.\n\n6. Paragraph (2) of section 3 of the principal Ordinance is amended so as to give the Governor in Council power to exclude from the Ordinance any officer transferred to the Hong Kong service who is contributing in some other British possession or in some British protectorate. Section 12 of the principal Ordinance gives an officer who is transferred from the Hong Kong service the option of", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-505-8 Widows' and Orphans' Pension legislation- raising of pensionable age limit of male orphans 22-6-1927 - 7-11-1927.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 511785, "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": "CO129-505-8 Widows' and Orphans' Pension legislation- raising of pensionable age limit of male orphans 22-6-1927 - 7-11-1927", "page_number": 50, "title": "CO129-505-8 Widows' and Orphans' Pension legislation- raising of pensionable age limit of male orphans 22-6-1927 - 7-11-1927", "content_text": "41\n\nceasing to contribute to the Hong Kong scheme, but at least one other Colony does not give any option on transfer. Under sub-section (2) of the new section 33 which is to be added to the principal Ordinance by section 17 of this Ordinance the Governor in Council will have power to order a refund of any contributions made by any transferred officer before his exclusion from the Hong Kong section.\n\n7. Paragraph (3) of section 3 of the principal Ordinance is repealed as the matter in future will be dealt with by the new section 33 (2). In any case a provision of this kind is out of place in a definition section.\n\n8. The sentence in section 7 (1) of the principal Ordinance which section 8 of this Ordinance will repeal is being repealed because it deals with the old exchange compensation allowance which is now obsolete. No officer now exists who draws that allowance.\n\n66\n\n9. Section 9 provides that abatement shall cease after thirty-five years, instead of after \"thirty-five successive years\" as in the principal Ordinance. The point is of very little importance but it would seem reasonable that abatement should cease after 35 years contribution whether the 35 years have all been successive or not. In the vast majority of cases the years would all be successive, but very occasional cases of broken service might arise. This 35 years period is also referred to in the new s. 9 (6) and (10) and in the new proviso to s. 15 (1).\n\n10. Section 10 repeals section 9 of the principal Ordinance and re-enacts it with alterations. The new section 9 will deal almost exhaustively with the question of how far officers leaving the service are to have the option of continuing to contribute, with the cognate subject of refunds to officers so leaving who elect not to continue to contribute, and with the question of refunds to the legal personal representatives of persons dying in the service. There will be one exception, i.e., the case of officers transferred from Hong Kong to other services under the Crown. This case is dealt with in section 12 of the principal Ordinance, and it has not been thought necessary to incorporate that section in the new section 9. Section 11 of the principal Ordinance, however, is incorporated in the new section.\n\n11. Sub-section (1) of the new section 9 gets rid of a good deal of repetition throughout the section.\n\n12. No change is made in the case of officers leaving the service as bachelors. They will still have the option of continuing to contribute, and if they do not continue they will get back half their contributions. The case of a bachelor dying in the service, which in the principal Ordinance is dealt with in sub-section (2), will in the new section 9 be dealt with in sub-section (11).\n\n13. Under the principal Ordinance an officer who leaves the service as a widower without pensionable children gets back half his contributions since the termination of the last risk, but he is not given the option of continuing. This seems unreasonable if a bachelor is to have the option. The widower is at least likely to remarry as the bachelor is to marry. Accordingly the new sub-section (3) gives the option of continuing to contribute to the widower without pensionable children.\n\n14. Under the principal Ordinance an officer who leaves the service as a widower with pensionable children is not allowed to continue to contribute after the last child ceases to be pensionable. Such an officer, however, might remarry after his children had ceased to be pensionable and it seems unfair that he should lose all chance of benefit from the scheme though he had contributed possibly for very many years. It also seems unfair when compared with the case of a bachelor who is allowed to obtain the\n\n60\n\nPage 50\n\nPage 51", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-505-8 Widows' and Orphans' Pension legislation- raising of pensionable age limit of male orphans 22-6-1927 - 7-11-1927.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 511786, "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": "CO129-505-8 Widows' and Orphans' Pension legislation- raising of pensionable age limit of male orphans 22-6-1927 - 7-11-1927", "page_number": 51, "title": "CO129-505-8 Widows' and Orphans' Pension legislation- raising of pensionable age limit of male orphans 22-6-1927 - 7-11-1927", "content_text": "61\n\n+\n\n+1\n\n42\n\nAc-\n\nbenefits of the scheme no matter when he marries. Accordingly, the new sub-section (4) gives the option to the widower with pensionable children.\n\n15. Section 9 (5) of the principal Ordinance provides that an officer who leaves the service married and with pensionable children shall have no option of continuing after the cessation of the last risk. Curiously enough, an officer who leaves the service married without pensionable children can, under the principal Ordinance, continue to contribute after the death of his wife, and can secure the benefits of the scheme if he remarries and leaves a widow or children of the second marriage. To make the Ordinance consistent with the principles adopted above, the new sub-section (5) gives the option to an officer who leaves the service married with or without pensionable children.\n\n16. The new sub-sections (6), (7), (8), and (9) deal with the case of an officer who leaves the service without a pension. They render section 11 of the principal Ordinance unnecessary. They provide that if an officer elects to continue to contribute, he will be liable to continue his contributions, and will be liable to contribute at the rate of 4% on his final salary, any reduction of the salary on interdiction being disregarded. The contribution is to be payable on the 31st December and 30th June in each year, and if he fails to pay any instalment within three months after the due date, he shall be deemed to have ceased to contribute. If any officer who leaves the service without a pension elects not to contribute, or subsequently ceases to contribute, any pension will be calculated on the basis of the interest acquired by the officer at the date of his ceasing to contribute.\n\n17. The new sub-section (10) is inserted in order to put a definite limit to the time up to which any option given by the section can be exercised. It seems to be necessary because section 8 of the principal Ordinance deals only with abatements, and section 9 includes both abatements and payments made by an officer who is not receiving any pay or pension.\n\n18. The new sub-sections (11), (12), and (13) effect no change in the law.\n\n19. As section 11 of the principal Ordinance will no longer be required, it is repealed by section 11 of this Ordinance, and section 10A of the principal Ordinance is renumbered as section 11.\n\n20. Section 15 (1) of the principal Ordinance provides that no widow of an officer whose marriage was contracted after he had ceased to contribute, and no child of such marriage, shall be entitled to a pension. This seems unfair and harsh if applied to an officer who has ceased to contribute solely for the reason that he had contributed for 35 years or has reached the age of 65. Such an officer will ex hypothesi have paid his full contribution and will not have been any actual burden on the scheme. It is considered that his contributions should be treated as covering any future risk, and this is effected by the proviso added by section 12 of this Ordinance.\n\n21. Under the principal Ordinance, the pension to a male orphan ceases at the age of 18 years. In many cases, this is a very expensive time in the boy's education, and there is a strong feeling that the age ought to be raised to 21. This amendment is effected by section 13 of this Ordinance.\n\n22. The Tables contained in the Schedule to the principal Ordinance are all worked out on the 6% basis, i.e., on the assumption that the contributions are earning interest at the rate of 6%. New tables have been approved, not for Hong Kong only, which assume a rate of 8%. These new tables will be substituted for the old tables by section 18 of this Ordinance. Section 14 of this Ordinance\n\n43\n\nprovides that all future pensions shall be calculated on the basis of the new tables and that all existing pensions shall be recalculated on that basis. This will mean a certain increase in existing pensions and in the calculation of future pensions, but the increase will not be so great as might be imagined because a temporary increase of 25% has been made during recent years.\n\n23. Sub-section (2) of the old section 17 is re-enacted as section 18 by section 15 of this Ordinance.\n\n24. Section 21 of the principal Ordinance provides (1) that a wife against whom an officer has obtained a divorce shall be considered as dead for the purposes of the Ordinance, and (2) that where an officer and his wife have been separated, either judicially or by mutual consent or otherwise, the directors may grant the pension either to the widow or to the orphans, having regard to the grounds of the separation and the subsequent conduct of both parties. The section is open to criticism on the following grounds:\n\n(a) It does not deal with the case of a divorce at the suit of the wife, unless this case is intended to be included in the word \"otherwise.\"\n\n(b) If that was the intention, it should be made more clear.\n\n(c) Again, if that was the intention, the directors should not have discretion to deprive the wife of her pension.\n\n(d) It does not deal with the case of nullity, unless that case is intended to be included in the word \"otherwise.\" Similar remarks to those in (b) and (c) above apply to this case also.\n\n(e) The second part of the section throws a difficult and unnecessary inquiry on the directors. The interests of the children are sufficiently guarded by section 26 of the principal Ordinance.\n\n(f) The term \"British court of justice\" is not entirely clear.\n\nSection 16 of this Ordinance, therefore, repeals section 21 of the principal Ordinance and substitutes a section containing the following provisions:\n\n(i) When a marriage has been dissolved at the suit of the husband, the wife shall be considered as dead.\n\n(ii) When a marriage has been dissolved at the suit of the wife, such wife and the children (if any) of the marriage shall be entitled to the exclusion of any subsequent wife and children, so long as the former wife remains alive and unmarried or any of the former children remain pensionable.\n\nK\n\n(iii) When a marriage has been declared null and void, the wife or pretended wife shall be considered as dead.\n\n(iv) A more particular description is substituted for the term \"British Court of Justice.\"\n\nIt will be noticed that where the wife is divorced by the husband, any children of the marriage will, under section 22 of the principal Ordinance, be entitled to at least half of the whole pension.\n\n25. Section 17 of this Ordinance adds two new sections to the principal Ordinance. The new section 33 (1) gives power to the Governor in Council to refund his contributions to an officer who has contributed in the mistaken belief that he was liable to contribute under the Ordinance. Such cases have occurred.\n\n26. The new section 33 (2) has already been referred to in paragraph 6 above.\n\n62", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-505-8 Widows' and Orphans' Pension legislation- raising of pensionable age limit of male orphans 22-6-1927 - 7-11-1927.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 511787, "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": "CO129-505-8 Widows' and Orphans' Pension legislation- raising of pensionable age limit of male orphans 22-6-1927 - 7-11-1927", "page_number": 52, "title": "CO129-505-8 Widows' and Orphans' Pension legislation- raising of pensionable age limit of male orphans 22-6-1927 - 7-11-1927", "content_text": "27. The new section 33 (3) makes general a principal which has already been adopted in the principal Ordinance, and in Ordinance No. 5 of 1921, and which it is desired to apply also to the case of Indian prison officers.\n\n28. The new section 33 (4) is inserted by way of abundant caution. The new section 33 (5) merely expresses the rule which has always been followed in the case of refunds under the Widows' and Orphans' Pensions Ordinances.\n\n29. The new section 34 gives the Governor in Council power to extend the time for doing any act which the principal Ordinance requires or enables any person to do.\n\n30. Section 19 of this Ordinance is a temporary provision giving the option of continuing to contribute, both to Indian prison officers and to officers on agreement who are in fact contributing at present.\n\n31. An officer may enter the service (a) while a bachelor, (b) while married, (c) while a widower with children of pensionable age and (d) while a widower without any child of pensionable age. Logically, it would seem that an officer who enters the service while a widower without any child of pensionable age should be treated in the same way as an officer who enters the service while a bachelor. In the Rules in Schedule A to the principal Ordinance, however, an officer who enters the service while a widower without any child of pensionable age is treated in the same way as an officer who enters the service while a widower with children of pensionable age. In practice, this provision of the Ordinance has not been followed. The practice is now regularized and legalized by the alteration of the headings to section A and section C of the Rules in the new Schedule. A note is added at the beginning of section A and certain consequential amendments have been made.\n\n31st January, 1927.\n\nJ. H.

PENSIONS TO ORPHAN CHILDREN.\n\nRegulated by sections 19, 20, 22, 23 and 26 of the Ordinance.\n\nE. OFFICER TRANSFERRED TO THE SERVICE OF ANOTHER COLONY.\n\nThroughout these rules and examples the calculations depend, not on the official income of the contributor, but on the amount of his contribution so that the transfer of an officer to another service does not affect his registered pension unless the amount of his current annual contribution is varied, in which case the proper adjustment is to be made in accordance with the preceding rules.\n\nF.—CALCULATION OF QUANTITIES (OR TABULAR RESULTS) FOR AGES NOT GIVEN IN THE TABLES.\n\nTABLE A.—The quantities are given for every age of the husband from 13 to 64; and for every fifth age of the wife from 15 to 65. Ages of husbands and wives below or beyond are to be treated as the youngest and oldest ages given respectively.\n\nFor the intermediate ages of wives, interpolate by the first differences, as follows:-\n\n57\n\nTo find the quantity corresponding to the ages of a husband and wife aged, respectively, 35 and 27 next birthday. The quantity for ages 35 and 25 given in the Table is .482. The quantity for ages 35 and 30 given in the Table is .507.\n\nSo that the addition of five years to the age of the wife results in an addition of .025 to the quantity given in the Table for ages 35 and 25.\n\nAn addition of two years to the age of the wife accordingly results by proportion in an addition of two-fifths of .025 to the quantity given in the Table for ages 35 and 25. Two-fifths of .025 = .01, which added to .482 gives .492 which is the required quantity corresponding to ages 35 and 27.\n\nTABLE B.—This Table is divided into eleven sections, respectively, applicable to officers who will be aged next birthday 55, 56, up to 65, when they complete their period of contribution. Care should in all cases be taken to turn to the section which contains in the heading the age of the husband at the date of completion of his period of contribution.\n\n13\n\nIn each section the quantities are given for 35 consecutive ages of the husband, terminating at the age preceding that at which the contribution ceases, and for every fifth age of the wife from 15 to 65.\n\nAges of the wife below or beyond are to be treated as the youngest and oldest ages given, respectively. For the intermediate ages of wives interpolate by first differences as explained above. Thus, the quantity found from the first section of the Table (age 55) corresponding to the ages of a husband and wife aged, respectively, 45 and 38 next birthday is three-fifths of .18, added to 2.39, which gives 2.50.\n\nFor officers who commence to contribute at an earlier age than 20 next birthday the method of calculation given in the subjoined examples is to be followed :-\n\nEXAMPLE (1)—An officer aged 17 next birthday, having a wife aged 15 next birthday, commences to contribute. Assume that the officer is aged 20 next birthday, so that the quantity found from Table B will be 8.80.\n\nThis officer receives an increment of salary at age 22 next birthday, when his wife's age is 20. Assume that his age is 25 next birthday—i.e., his actual age 22 plus the difference between his actual age at entry and 20, which is three years. The quantity found from Table B will be 7.00.\n\nEXAMPLE (2)—An officer aged 19 next birthday commences to contribute as a bachelor, and five years later, when aged 24 next birthday, marries; his wife's age being 20 next birthday. The quantity found from Table A in accordance with Rule I (a) will be taken for the actual ages (husband 24 and wife 20) and will be .683. With respect to the current annual contribution at marriage, assume that the officer's age is 25 (his actual age plus one) so that the quantity from Table B will be 7.00.\n\nThis officer receives an increment of salary when aged 39, when his wife's age is 35. Assume as before that the ages are 40 and 35, respectively, so that the quantity found from Table B will be 3.61.\n\nNOTE. It will be observed that this method takes account of the actual number of years for which the annual contribution will run. In example (1), when the officer receives the increment of salary at age 22 he has contributed for five years, so that at the expiration of 30 years his contributions will cease. Similarly, in example (2), when the officer marries at age 24, he also has contributed for five years, so that although he is two years older than the officer in example (1), yet the unexpired period of contribution is the same in each case, and the wife's age is in each instance 20, so that no important error is involved in using the same tabular quantity for the two cases.\n\nTABLE C.—The quantities are given for the same ages as in Table A. Ages of husbands and wives below and beyond are to be treated as in using that Table.\n\nFor the intermediate ages of wives interpolate by first differences as explained above, except that it must be noted that in this Table an addition to the age of the wife results in a deduction from the quantity given in the Table.\n\nTo find the quantity corresponding to the ages of a husband and wife aged, respectively, 35 and 27 next birthday.\n\nThe quantity for ages 35 and 25 given in the Table is 2.074.\n\nThe quantity for ages 35 and 30 given in the Table is 1.974.\n\nSo that the addition of five years to the age of the wife results in a deduction of .100 from the quantity given in the Table for ages 35 and 25.\n\nAn addition of two years to the age of the wife accordingly results by proportion in a deduction of two-fifths of .100 from the quantity given in the Table for ages 35 and 25.\n\nTwo-fifths of .100 = .04, which deducted from 2.074 leaves 2.034, which is the required quantity corresponding to ages 35 and 27.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-505-8 Widows' and Orphans' Pension legislation- raising of pensionable age limit of male orphans 22-6-1927 -

This Ordinance deals with a number of proposed amendments to the Widows' and Orphans' Pensions Ordinance which have been collecting for some time.\n\n2. Though there is no longer any widows' and orphans' pension fund, certain references to a fund are being allowed to remain in the principal Ordinance. The reason for this is obvious throughout the title and preamble. The word is being allowed to remain in section 3(4)(d) because it was used in Ordinance No. 5 of 1921. It is being allowed to remain in section 2(6), partly because of section 3(4)(d) and partly because it did not seem worthwhile to amend section 2.\n\n3. The effect of section 3 will be to exclude from the widows and orphans' pension scheme all Indian members of the staff of the Prisons Department. This is believed to be in accordance with the wishes of the present Indian members of the Prisons Department. In 1921, an amending Ordinance enabled the Indian prison officers whose salaries were less than $120 a year to choose whether they would continue to contribute to the scheme or not, and without exception, they elected not to contribute. Indian prison officers who are now contributing are given by section 19 of this Ordinance the option of continuing to contribute. Any such officer who elects not to contribute will be allowed to withdraw on the usual terms, i.e., he will get back one half of his total contributions without interest.\n\n4. For many years, the widows' and orphans' fund, and the succeeding widows' and orphans' pension scheme, were confined to persons permanently employed in the service of the Government and to certain members of the police force. In 1921, the scheme was extended to persons appointed on agreement for any period exceeding two years. This caused various difficulties, and it is now proposed to revert to the original rule and to confine the scheme to officers on the permanent staff. This is effected by the repeal of section 3(1)(c) of the principal Ordinance. It will be noticed that in that paragraph as printed in the present edition of the Ordinances, \"not exceeding two years\" is a misprint for \"exceeding two years\". Certain members of the police force have always been included specifically because, though they in fact serve on agreement for successive terms of five years, they are substantially permanent officers. They are dealt with in section 3(1)(b) of the principal Ordinance. Subordinate officers of the Prisons Department have another peculiar system of engagement. They are engaged in the first instance on one year's probation. If they prove satisfactory, they are taken on for a five-year period, which runs from the commencement of their year's probation. If they still prove satisfactory, they are taken on the permanent establishment. As explained above, the Indian prison officers are being excluded from the Ordinance. The proposed new sub-paragraph (c) of paragraph (1) of section 3 of the principal Ordinance includes in the definition of the term \"officer\" all European prison officers except officers on probation. It should be noted that such officers should not begin to contribute until the completion of the period of probation, whether that be the original period contemplated of one year or an extended period. This is in accordance with the present practice.\n\n5. Sub-paragraph (d) of paragraph 1 of section 3 of the principal Ordinance is by section 5 to be made general, so as to include any persons who exercise an option under the present Ordinance.\n\n6. Paragraph (2) of section 3 of the principal Ordinance is amended so as to give the Governor in Council power to exclude from the Ordinance any officer transferred to the Hong Kong service who is contributing in some other British possession or in some British protectorate. Section 12 of the principal Ordinance gives an officer who is transferred from the Hong Kong service the option of ceasing to contribute to the Hong Kong scheme, but at least one other Colony does not give any option on transfer. Under sub-section (2) of the new section 33, which is to be added to the principal Ordinance by section 17 of this Ordinance, the Governor in Council will have power to order a refund of any contributions made by any transferred officer before his exclusion from the Hong Kong section.\n\n7. Paragraph (3) of section 3 of the principal Ordinance is repealed as the matter in future will be dealt with by the new section 33(2). In any case, a provision of this kind is out of place in a definition section.\n\n8. The sentence in section 7(1) of the principal Ordinance, which section 8 of this Ordinance will repeal, is being repealed because it deals with the old exchange compensation allowance, which is now obsolete. No officer now exists who draws that allowance.\n\nPage 41\n\n9. Section 9 provides that abatement shall cease after \"thirty-five years,\" instead of after \"thirty-five successive years\" as in the principal Ordinance. The point is of very slight importance, but it would seem reasonable that abatement should cease after 35 years' contribution, whether the 35 years have all been successive or not. In the vast majority of cases, the years would all be successive, but very occasional cases of broken service might arise. This 35-year period is also referred to in the new s. 9(6) and (10) and in the new proviso to s. 10(1).\n\n10. Section 10 repeals section 9 of the principal Ordinance and re-enacts it with alterations. The new section 9 will deal almost exhaustively with the question of how far officers leaving the service are to have the option of continuing to contribute, with the cognate subject of refunds to officers so leaving who elect not to continue to contribute, and with the question of refunds to the legal personal representatives of persons dying in the service. There will be one exception, i.e., the case of officers transferred from Hong Kong to other services under the Crown. This case is dealt with in section 12 of the principal Ordinance, and it has not been thought necessary to incorporate that section in the new section 9. Section 11 of the principal Ordinance, however, is incorporated in the new section.\n\n11. Sub-section (1) of the new section 9 gets rid of a good deal of repetition throughout the section.\n\n12. No change is made in the case of officers leaving the service as bachelors. They will still have the option of continuing to contribute, and if they do not continue, they will get back half their contributions. The case of a bachelor dying in the service, which in the principal Ordinance is dealt with in sub-section (2), will in the new section 9 be dealt with in sub-section (11).\n\n13. Under the principal Ordinance, an officer who leaves the service as a widower without pensionable children gets back half his contributions since the termination of the last risk, but he is not given the option of continuing. This seems unreasonable if a bachelor is to have the option. The widower is at least likely to remarry as the bachelor is to marry. Accordingly, the new sub-section (3) gives the option of continuing to contribute to the widower without pensionable children.\n\n14. Under the principal Ordinance, an officer who leaves the service as a widower with pensionable children is not allowed to continue to contribute after the last child ceases to be pensionable. Such an officer, however, might remarry after his children had ceased to be pensionable, and it seems unfair that he should lose all chance of benefit from the scheme, though he had contributed possibly for very many years. It also seems unfair when compared with the case of a bachelor who is allowed to obtain the benefit.\n\nPage 31", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-505-8 Widows' and Orphans' Pension legislation- raising of pensionable age limit of male orphans 22-6-1927 - 7-11-1927.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 511809, "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": "CO129-505-8 Widows' and Orphans' Pension legislation- raising of pensionable age limit of male orphans 22-6-1927 - 7-11-1927", "page_number": 74, "title": "CO129-505-8 Widows' and Orphans' Pension legislation- raising of pensionable age limit of male orphans 22-6-1927 - 7-11-1927", "content_text": "42\n\nAc-\n\nbenefits of the scheme no matter whom he marries. Accordingly, the new sub-section (4) gives the option to the widower with pensionable children.\n\n15. Section 9 (5) of the principal Ordinance provides that an officer who leaves the service married and with pensionable children shall have no option of continuing after the cessation of the last risk. Curiously enough, an officer who leaves the service married without pensionable children can, under the principal Ordinance, continue to contribute after the death of his wife and can secure the benefits of the scheme if he remarries and leaves a widow or children of the second marriage. To make the Ordinance consistent with the principles adopted above, the new sub-section (5) gives the option to an officer who leaves the service married with or without pensionable children.\n\n16. The new sub-sections (6), (7), (8), and (9) deal with the case of an officer who leaves the service without a pension. They render section 11 of the principal Ordinance unnecessary. They provide that if an officer elects to continue to contribute, he will be liable to continue his contributions and will be liable to contribute at the rate of 4% on his final salary, any reduction of the salary on interdiction being disregarded. The contribution is to be payable on the 31st December and 30th June in each year, and if he fails to pay any instalment within three months after the due date, he shall be deemed to have ceased to contribute. If any officer who leaves the service without a pension elects not to contribute, or subsequently ceases to contribute, any pension will be calculated on the basis of the interest acquired by the officer at the date of his ceasing to contribute.\n\n17. The new sub-section (10) is inserted in order to put a definite limit to the time up to which any option given by the section can be exercised. It seems to be necessary because section 8 of the principal Ordinance deals only with abatements, and section 9 includes both abatements and payments made by an officer who is not receiving any pay or pension.\n\n18. The new sub-sections (11), (12), and (13) effect no change in the law.\n\n19. As section 11 of the principal Ordinance will no longer be required, it is repealed by section 1 of this Ordinance, and section 10A of the principal Ordinance is renumbered as section 11.\n\n20. Section 15 (1) of the principal Ordinance provides that no widow of an officer whose marriage was contracted after he had ceased to contribute, and no child of such marriage, shall be entitled to a pension. This seems unfair and harsh if applied to an officer who has ceased to contribute solely for the reason that he had contributed for 35 years or has reached the age of 65. Such an officer will ex hypothesi have paid his full contribution and will not have been any actual burden on the scheme. It is considered that his contributions should be treated as covering any future risk, and this is effected by the proviso added by section 12 of this Ordinance.\n\n21. Under the principal Ordinance, the pension to a male orphan ceases at the age of 18 years. In many cases, this is a very expensive time in the boy's education, and there is a strong feeling that the age ought to be raised to 21. This amendment is effected by section 13 of this Ordinance.\n\n22. The Tables contained in the Schedule to the principal Ordinance are all worked out on the 6% basis, i.e., on the assumption that the contributions are earning interest at the rate of 6%. New tables have been approved, not for Hong Kong only, which assume a rate of 8%. These new tables will be substituted for the old tables by section 18 of this Ordinance. Section 14 of this Ordinance provides that all future pensions shall be calculated on the basis of the new tables and that all existing pensions shall be recalculated on that basis. This will mean a certain increase in existing pensions and in the calculation of future pensions, but the increase will not be so great as might be imagined because a temporary increase of 25% has been made during recent years.\n\n23. Sub-section (2) of the old section 17 is re-enacted as section 18 by section 15 of this Ordinance.\n\n24. Section 21 of the principal Ordinance provides (1) that a wife against whom an officer has obtained a divorce shall be considered as dead for the purposes of the Ordinance, and (2) that where an officer and his wife have been separated, either judicially or by mutual consent or otherwise, the directors may grant the pension either to the widow or to the orphans, having regard to the grounds of the separation and the subsequent conduct of both parties. The section is open to criticism on the following grounds: -\n\n(a) It does not deal with the case of a divorce at the suit of the wife, unless this case is intended to be included in the word \"otherwise\".\n\n(b) If that was the intention, it should be made more clear.\n\n(c) Again, if that was the intention, the directors should not have discretion to deprive the wife of her pension.\n\n(d) It does not deal with the case of nullity, unless that case is intended to be included in the word \"otherwise\". Similar remarks to those in (b) and (c) above apply to this case also.\n\n(e) The second part of the section throws a difficult and unnecessary inquiry on the directors. The interests of the children are sufficiently guarded by section 26 of the principal Ordinance.\n\n(f) The term \"British court of justice\" is not entirely clear.\n\nSection 16 of this Ordinance, therefore, repeals section 21 of the principal Ordinance and substitutes a section containing the following provisions: -\n\n(i) When a marriage has been dissolved at the suit of the husband, the wife shall be considered as dead.\n\n(ii) When a marriage has been dissolved at the suit of the wife, such wife and the children (if any) of the marriage shall be entitled to the exclusion of any subsequent wife and children, so long as the former wife remains alive and unmarried or any of the former children remain pensionable.\n\n(iii) When a marriage has been declared null and void, the wife or pretended wife shall be considered as dead.\n\n(iv) A more particular description is substituted for the term \"British Court of Justice\".\n\nIt will be noticed that where the wife is divorced by the husband, any children of the marriage will, under section 22 of the principal Ordinance, be entitled to at least half of the whole pension.\n\n25. Section 17 of this Ordinance adds two new sections to the principal Ordinance. The new section 33 (1) gives power to the Governor in Council to refund his contributions to an officer who has contributed in the mistaken belief that he was liable to contribute under the Ordinance. Such cases have occurred.\n\n26. The new section 33 (2) has already been referred to in paragraph 6 above.\n\nPage 43", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-505-8 Widows' and Orphans' Pension legislation- raising of pensionable age limit of male orphans 22-6-1927 - 7-11-1927.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 511810, "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": "CO129-505-8 Widows' and Orphans' Pension legislation- raising of pensionable age limit of male orphans 22-6-1927 - 7-11-1927", "page_number": 75, "title": "CO129-505-8 Widows' and Orphans' Pension legislation- raising of pensionable age limit of male orphans 22-6-1927 - 7-11-1927", "content_text": "44\n\n27. The new section 33 (3) makes general a principal which has already been adopted in the principal Ordinance, and in Ordinance No. 5 of 1921, and which it is desired to apply also to the case of Indian prison officers.\n\n28. The new section 33 (4) is inserted by way of abundant caution. The new section 33 (5) merely expresses the rule which has always been followed in the case of refunds under the Widows' and Orphans' Pensions Ordinances.\n\n29. The new section 34 gives the Governor in Council power to extend the time for doing any act which the principal Ordinance requires or enables any person to do.\n\n30. Section 19 of this Ordinance is a temporary provision giving the option of continuing to contribute, both to Indian prison officers and to officers on agreement who are in fact contributing at present.\n\n31. An officer may enter the service (a) while a bachelor, (b) while married, (c) while a widower with children of pensionable age and (d) while a widower without any child of pensionable age. Logically, it would seem that an officer who enters the service while a widower without any child of pensionable age should be treated in the same way as an officer who enters the service while a bachelor. In the Rules in Schedule A to the principal Ordinance, however, an officer who enters the service while a widower without any child of pensionable age is treated in the same way as an officer who enters the service while a widower with children of pensionable age. In practice, this provision of the Ordinance has not been followed. The practice is now regularized and legalized by the alteration of the headings to section A and section C of the Rules in the new Schedule. A note is added at the beginning of section A and certain consequential amendments have been made.\n\n31st January, 1927.\n\nJ. H.

He concurs that existing Civil Administrative Departments should continue to function under him and proposes to appoint me Lieut-Governor to take charge of Civil Affairs With a Colonial Secretary and the usual other civil officers and councils to assist me. With your concurrence I shall be glad to accept this appointment.\n\nIt is necessary that some existing Government, Essential Services, and Public Utilities Personnel should remain behind to assist the Military Administration after the general evacuation of prisoners of war I understand that it is not the policy to evacuate officially civil internees, as distinct from prisoners of war and cases urgently requiring hospitalization and treatment abroad. To ascertain what persons would still be physically and mentally fit for civilian duties, medical examination will be undertaken.\n\nThe wishes of the individuals themselves will have to be consulted. Especially in the case of those who, in addition to the other privations and hardships they have undergone, are long overdue for normal leave and have not seen their relatives and families for years. Those who remain behind could not be kept on duty much longer than the end of 1945 when those who should proceed now on leave would have, if fit, to be prepared to return to relieve them. In any case there is likely to be a severe shortage of civil staff and work will have to be done in the absence of many normal facilities.\n\nI would therefore ask that the possibility of drafting in additional staff of kinds to be specified as the position develops should be explored without delay. Administrative, Financial, Legal, Medical and Public Works Department personnel should be kept in view for supplements. A well qualified officer to fill the post of Attorney-General is particularly desired at an early date. I would request information also as to how payment of salaries and family allowances of Government servants has been dealt with since end 1941 and what arrangements should be made for payment from now on and what credentials in this respect those who are proceeding elsewhere will require.\n\n011308z\n\nM.(4) for Colonial Office\n\nOH\n\nPage 90\n\nPage 91", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-591-12 Military Administration- Civil affairs- directives to force commander and senior officials 24-2-1945 - 13-9-1945.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 578051, "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": "CO129-591-5 Report on activities of Post Office- Engineering Branch during Battle of Hong Kong 24-12-1943 - 26-2-1944", "page_number": 1, "title": "CO129-591-5 Report on activities of Post Office- Engineering Branch during Battle of Hong Kong 24-12-1943 - 26-2-1944", "content_text": "54118\n\nPrevious\n\n54118/42.\n\nSubsequent\n\nBATTLE\n\n1944\n\nHONG\n\nKONG\n\n54118\n\nOF\n\nHONG KONG\n\n15\n\nCLOSED UNTIL 1972\n\nFILE A.\n\n(1612).

It was decided late today to transfer immediately one of the medium-wave broadcasting transmitters, ZEK, to Hong Kong island to a building which was being prepared for it at Causeway Bay, although the building was not yet ready. Dismantling of ZEK was commenced, and cross-harbour transport arranged.\n\nDecember 11th\n\nPage 9\n\nIques tuned by Momi\n\nThis and was given to understand that the guards in question were Indian regator Props\n\n6327.\n\n-3-\n\nDecember 11th. Machine gun fire reported reaching Hung Hom station. ZEK dismantling completed and equipment loaded into a lighter at the harbour edge. For safety it was decided to tow it across after dark. In the meantime the Chinese broadcast programme, normally transmitted by ZEK, was handled by a small emergency transmitter which had been installed on Kennedy Road in Hong Kong (q.v.). For further account of ZEK, see under \"Causeway Bay\".\n\nDecember 12th. Hung Hom station evacuated on instructions from the Postmaster General, the equipment being partly wrecked by the staff before leaving. It was understood that the masts and the station's stand-by generating plant would be demolished by the military authorities.\n\nThis was not done). Most of the Chinese staff had already disappeared and the European station technician, Mr. J.L. Anderson, had great difficulty in getting across the harbour to Hong Kong in a sampan.\n\nCauseway Bay\n\nDecember 11th. During the night of December 11th, the equipment comprising broadcasting, ZEK was towed across the harbour from Hung Hom. This gave some difficulty for neither light nor sound was permissible with fire from snipers (fifth column) coming across the harbour occasionally.\n\nDecember 12th. ZEK equipment being unloaded on to the Hong Kong wharf. This work was abandoned by the work-party during the morning when it came under fire from the opposite side of the harbour. They reported to me that the lighter had been cut adrift by the Chinese in a panic. I recovered the lighter late in the afternoon after having to indulge in the dangerous expedient of climbing over high walls to get into \"Protected Places\" whose guards had fled after locking up all doors and entrances. Contrary to expectation, I was not shot at during this procedure, as I should have been by our own patrols. I returned later with a special armed police guard for the lighter for the night.\n\nIt was now dark, and I observed what was, apparently, two-way fifth column signalling going on fairly freely across the harbour.\n\nDecember 13th. Offloading of ZEK resumed, and later again abandoned. I again proceeded to the wharf myself and completed the offloading. No road transport was available but a lorry which was found to be temporarily unoccupied was appropriated, and the radio transmitter finally delivered to its site at Causeway Bay. Erection of the equipment was put in hand immediately and continued non-stop until it was completed, with a short break when the work was once more abandoned this time due to heavy shell fire but personal attendance again restored confidence.\n\nAn aerial\n\nPage 9\n\nPage 9\n\n-4-\n\n10\n\nVI.\n\nAn aerial had to be rigged after dark, as working aloft in full view of firing from across the harbour was too risky.\n\nDecember 14th. Installation of plant completed and power tests commenced by evening.\n\nDecember 15th. Evening programme transmitted from this station. Transmission draws enemy fire and the station becomes an objective for their shelling. This station will now transmit the European programme while the Chinese programme is transmitted from Kennedy Road.\n\nDecember 16th. Evening programme missed by this station because in late afternoon a shell damaged the control lines from the studios.\n\nDecember 17th. P.W.D. unable to promise early restoration of damaged cables. Steps therefore taken to establish local control at the station itself. A dance-band microphone and amplifier were requisitioned from a cafe and installed together with a gramophone turntable as \"studio control equipment\" in the engine-room. An announcer was brought by car with a supply of records, and the programme was radiated on time. As I was anxious not to miss the usual broadcast of Daventry news, which was considered very desirable for local morale, I installed a short-wave receiver taken from my own residence in a near-by Chinese building and ran a line from it to the transmitter through the trees. As shelling was heavy and the Chinese building rather flimsy, the technician controlling the receiver had to lie on the floor while he controlled the retransmission, which was made satisfactorily to time.\n\nShortly after this the station had to be abandoned when it was reached by the Japanese front line, but transmission was satisfactory up to that time. Shells had fallen all around and very near, but the building had not been hit.\n\nKennedy Road.\n\n1. This was a small broadcast transmitter which I had installed on the Island before the outbreak of hostilities in a \"hidden\" position for use in case of emergency. It was of the greatest use during hostilities, taking over the whole programmes during the period between the evacuation of Hung Hom and the working of Causeway Bay station. Later it transmitted a Chinese programme while Causeway Bay transmitted the European one. When access to Causeway Bay became no longer possible, Kennedy Road was our last and only broadcasting station.\n\n2. This station also came under direct shelling from the Japanese whenever it started transmitting after the first few days. The building received several direct hits, but fortunately the apparatus escaped much damage. The aerial was twice shot away, but I was able to repair this with a volunteer party at dusk. Mr. T.B.

When the shelling was particularly severe, a technician would start up the apparatus and depart quickly, returning to shut down at the end of the programme. This was satisfactory because there was no protection, and most of the non-European staff flatly refused to go near the place.\n\n3. It is interesting to note that the Japanese (Major Asano) later claimed to me that they had put this station out of action by gunfire. This was not correct. The station was kept on the air right up to the time when it had to shut down owing to the final failure of the electricity supply. It is possible that I could have kept this station on the air right up to the time of the occupation if emergency generating plant which I had ordered for it had not been subjected to such abnormal delay that I had not received it.\n\nVII. STUDIOS\n\n1. From the cessation of broadcasting, at Kennedy Road to the day of the occupation, a programme of music and the Daventry news programmes were transmitted by local power from the studios to Government House by line. Mr. A.T. Lay, programme secretary, played the piano for some of these final transmissions.\n\n2. The broadcasting studios and control rooms in Gloucester Building remained relatively undisturbed throughout the hostilities.\n\n3. A public address system of ten loudspeakers distributed in various densely populated districts of Hong Kong and Kowloon, and controlled from the studios, could not be made use of on account of the early disorganisation of these outlying districts.\n\nVIII.

The Engineer-in-Charge at Cape D'Aguilar, Mr. F.K. Garton, telephoned to say that the military forces manning the guns there were \"running off the station\", and he asked for information. The Postmaster General telephoned to Military Headquarters who said that D'Aguilar was being evacuated but they had forgotten to tell us. They said that our staff should obtain transport from the military people there. This information was passed on to Mr. Garton. He telephoned again a little later to say that he could not get any assistance at all from the military people, but that he had obtained a car and, after destroying as much as possible of the plant, he would proceed to town with his European assistant (Mr. A.V. Harbottle), his wife and a female Chinese servant. The Chinese staff were told to disperse. Mr. Garton had no information as to what route to follow or to avoid. His car was ambushed at Wongneichong Gap, his wife was killed, and the Chinese amah badly wounded.\n\nOn the loss of the D'Aguilar transmitters, two small ship-type transmitters were found in a local depot, and a quick search made for a suitable central location in which to install them. The telephone company agreed to let us have a supply from their generators if required and the adjacent building of Marina House was therefore chosen. The transmitters and receivers were installed and on or about December 20th communication was re-established with Chunking and Manila. Aerials again proved an awkward problem, for anyone going on the roof during daylight was promptly shot at.\n\nThese transmitters and receivers worked satisfactorily up to the time of the occupation, working from the telephone company's supply after the public supply had failed.\n\nIX. PEAK RECEIVING STATION\n\n1. This station came under casual fire early on, but was not much interfered with until about December 16th when it came under very heavy shelling. The military officer in charge of an observation post in the station grounds told the Engineer-in-Charge, Mr. H.S. Rees, to evacuate. Rees asked me for instructions, and I consulted the Postmaster General, who rang up Military Headquarters. They said that the Peak was \"the safest place to be in\". However, in view of the very heavy shelling of the site, the refusal of the Chinese staff to stay, the flimsy nature of the single-storey building and the repeated injunctions of the military officers there to evacuate immediately, it was not considered reasonable to ask Mr. Rees to remain. A few receivers were got down to town from this station but not much could be done as there was no transport and the approaches to the station were also being heavily shelled.\n\nNote: A Chinese technician who managed to get through to the station next day reported that the building was badly damaged from several direct hits and the site covered by shell craters. I confirmed this myself after the occupation.\n\n2.

In particular, no retransmission of Daventry news was missed. The missionary building station continued in use until the public supply failed, and the Gloucester basement until the occupation.\n\nX.

Transport and food control broke down on the very first day of hostilities. It was difficult to keep non-European staff together at first, when some of them and their families had no food for several days. I appointed some of my own staff to obtain food by whatever means they could, and although they were very successful afterwards it unavoidably took them some days to work out suitable methods.\n\n3. I obtained a car and driver from the Auxiliary Transport Service on 9th December but the Chinese driver would not face the travelling which soon took us through areas of heavy shelling and after a few days he abandoned the work. I was able, however, to carry on with my own car. The department radio van early received a direct hit and was disintegrated into the surrounding trees. Fortunately no one was in it at the time.\n\n4. The behaviour of the staff generally was somewhat uneven, especially the non-Europeans, but with few exceptions they responded to suitable encouragement when inclined to falter.\n\n5. The organisation of my sub-department was based on a flexibility designed to meet unexpected situations as they might arise rather than on any cut and dried plans. I believe that this proved to be the best and that we were able to render the maximum services possible under difficult circumstances.\n\nXVI. OCCUPATION\n\nOn 25th December I was informed by the Postmaster General that the Colony had capitulated, and all remaining services ceased. On 26th December keys were handed over to the Japanese (Major Asano) in the studio waiting room. I had received instructions from the Hon. Colonial Secretary through the Postmaster General to give information and assistance which might be requested by the Japanese so long as it did not conflict with the Allied war effort.\n\nXVII POST OCCUPATION\n\n1. Several conferences were held by Major Asano with the Postmaster General and myself in which our cooperation was requested to re-establish broadcasting. Major Asano had a competent staff of his own.\n\n2. One consequence was that the small transmitter was transferred from Kennedy Road to the Gloucester Building and subsequently operated by the Japanese as JPHA. The transfer was carried out by my staff and was subjected to considerable delay.\n\n/In fact.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-591-5 Report on activities of Post Office- Engineering Branch during Battle of Hong Kong 24-12-1943 - 26-2-1944.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 578063, "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": "CO129-591-5 Report on activities of Post Office- Engineering Branch during Battle of Hong Kong 24-12-1943 - 26-2-1944", "page_number": 15, "title": "CO129-591-5 Report on activities of Post Office- Engineering Branch during Battle of Hong Kong 24-12-1943 - 26-2-1944", "content_text": "15\n\nEnd\n\nIn fact it was not that it would have a very simple one\n\n<\n\n-9-\n\noperating until considerably later than if the Japanese had done the job themselves.\n\n3. My staff did not repair the short-wave broadcasting transmitter in Kowloon. I visited it with Major Asano and estimated two months for repairs. We could have had it working in a week or two. The Japanese had it partly working, on much reduced power, in precisely two months.\n\n4. Later I was examined by Captain Tanaka in charge of Japanese radio telegraphs (not broadcasting). He required transmitters at D'Aguilar to be repaired. I spent some time examining the plant and making out reports on what was missing. Some of the short-wave transmitters I found were only little damaged. I was able to render them more effectively damaged and more difficult to repair despite the fact that I was under the surveillance of Japanese officers. After some time I was confronted with a squad of Japanese technical assistants and ordered to have a certain transmitter working within a few days. I demurred and in an interview with Captain Tanaka I succeeded in getting myself laid off from this work. I did nothing further for the Japanese, and I ascertained later that they were never able to get a single one of our transmitters at Cape D'Aguilar to function. In the end they brought down two of their own from Shanghai.\n\n5. During this period I was kept interned, with some restricted liberty of movement, in the Gloucester Building, with the Postmaster General and six of my staff. The Hon. F.C. Gimson, Colonial Secretary; Mr. (now Sir Grenville) Alabaster, Attorney General; Mr. R.A.C. North, Secretary for Chinese Affairs, and four of my staff were kept in the nearby Prince's Building. Those from Prince's Building were sent into the internment camp at Stanley some time in March and the remainder of us on 14th April, 1942.\n\n6. A small amount of money was given to us by Major Asano when the Kennedy Road transmitter was moved, but beyond this and one bag of rice, we received neither money nor food from the Japanese during the three and a half months we were kept in the Gloucester Building. We considered it our duty, however, to keep ourselves out of the Camp for as long as possible in order to do what we could to obstruct the Japanese war effort and to assist our own. Our funds and food were on the point of exhaustion in mid-April when the Japanese decided to move us into the concentration camp at Stanley.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour obedient servant,\n\nR.

Following is suggested answer to Parliamentary Question.\n\nPotentialities of illegal Communist activities have been a constant source of anxiety to Hong Kong Government, which has not failed to take note of Communist methods in Malaya and elsewhere.\n\n2. As a result of the increase of Communist activities in the Far East, a series of precautionary measures have been taken to curb activities by Communist or other political organisations likely to cause violence in Hong Kong. Among these measures is the Public Order Ordinance passed by the Legislative Council on 28th October, which gives the Government more drastic powers for maintaining public order in the event of a political or other emergency and, in particular, to deal with organised bodies which may resort to violence. The Deportation of Aliens Ordinance has also been amended to make it easier to expel certain undesirables and disturbers of the peace.\n\n3. A difficulty facing the Hong Kong Government hitherto has been the freedom of entry and exit from the Colony in practice, accorded to persons of Chinese race. The Hong Kong Government has felt unable, in the present circumstances, to continue to allow uncontrolled entry and has therefore now instituted control over Chinese arriving from all countries other than China.\n\n4. Arrangements for close liaison with Malaya and Siam regarding movements of known or suspected Communists have been made. Similar liaison will shortly be arranged with other neighbouring Governments.\n\n5. The Hong Kong Government has recently nipped in the bud attempts to recruit Communists for action in Malaya or elsewhere, and is considering whether those concerned should be prosecuted or deported. Deportation proceedings are in train in connection with several other cases where it was found that Communists were attempting to use Hong Kong as a base for activities directed against the Government of China.\n\n6. The Chief of Police in Hong Kong has held consultations with the Chief of Police for Kwangtung Province and it is proposed to hold shortly a joint meeting with the Chief of Macao Police to discuss cooperation on security matters.\n\n7. Prosecution in connection with clandestine printing and distribution of Communist literature hostile to the Chinese Government is being launched, since in previous cases warning failed to produce results.

It is known and can be produced in evidence, within security limits, that this organisation is widespread in Hong Kong and closely knitted and directed. The latent power of influence is large and could dislocate the economic life of the Colony and stretch the security forces beyond their limits, and there are comrades not far distant trained to terrorism and banditry.\n\n3. \nIt is true that this influence is not directed against the interests of Hong Kong at the moment, except inasmuch as it disturbs friendly relations with the established Government of China, but there is the fact that the operations of recruiting and penetration are becoming more apparent publicly and that the influence has reached a stage when it might be turned against the Colony either in accordance with revealed world Communist policy or ebullience of growing strength. It is likely that several judicious deportations will restore a sensitivity to action by the Government of Hong Kong, which formerly obtained and is greatly to be desired.\n\n## 40\n\n1. \nThe cases are, briefly:- \n\n**WONG YAN SHUK @ WONG YAM LA @ WANG YIN SHU @ BAHREIT**. \nThis man was a teacher and editor in Shanghai, who came to Hong Kong in 1941 and after 3 months left for Singapore. There he taught until the outbreak of war, when he became Assistant Director of the Propaganda Section of the Anti-Japanese Mobilisation Association, directed chiefly by Communists. He fled to Sumatra and appeared as a Communist propagandist after liberation and was as anti-British as anti-Dutch. He was arrested by the Dutch and agreed to leave Sumatra. On arrival here, he was instructed how to behave and reports on his behaviour are in the file.\n\nHe is apparently of some standing, as he appears as sponsor for one **CHUNG MIN MO**, an aspirant Communist activist and suggests his use as an armourer. The aspirant was active in Kedah, Sumatra, and it seems clear that \"Bahren\" is the Netherlands Indies expert and as such used to screen candidates with that background. It is reasonable to assume that his understanding of good behaviour is not ours and that his ability and standing in the Party render his continued activity in Hong Kong highly undesirable.\n\n2. \n**TSE KIN**. \nThis man admits in his autobiography that he induced two Tat Tak students to work and be concerned in the purchase of arms. The report of his superiors explains his conversion to Communist thought in the Tat Tak and it is evident from their own report that the activities of the three in the Hok Shan District were carried on while still students.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-617-5 Deportation orders against Yam Shuk Wong- Kin Tse- Yui Chung- Fong Siu- Madame Lui Sze... 18-4-1947 - 25-2-1949.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 594354, "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": "CO129-617-5 Deportation orders against Yam Shuk Wong- Kin Tse- Yui Chung- Fong Siu- Madame Lui Sze... 18-4-1947 - 25-2-1949", "page_number": 14, "title": "CO129-617-5 Deportation orders against Yam Shuk Wong- Kin Tse- Yui Chung- Fong Siu- Madame Lui Sze... 18-4-1947 - 25-2-1949", "content_text": "## \n3. \n**CHUNG YUI**. \nAssociate of TSE KIN in activist operations who apparently believes in \"freely developing the people's armed struggle\" and in attacks like that on Hok Shan City.\n\n4. \n**SIU FONG**. \nAssociate of TSE KIN and SO CHING, who was also a Communist activist and in \"our armed unit consisting of about 100 members\".\n\n5. \n**Madame SZE LUI**. \nThe Pui Kiu School at No. 6 Broadwood Road has been suspected for some time as being used as a cloak for Communist activity, despite its reputation as a good establishment.

Until 1941, Subject was a teacher in various Chinese vernacular schools in Shanghai, as well as editor of two Chinese newspapers there.\n\n2. He left Shanghai in 1941 and, after staying in Hong Kong for about three months, went to Singapore where he taught in the Nam Kiu Teachers Training School.\n\n3. On the outbreak of the Pacific War, he joined Tan Ka Kee's Anti-Japanese Mobilization Association, becoming Assistant Director of the Propaganda Section.\n\n4. When the Japanese were advancing on Singapore, Subject, with others, fled to Sumatra.\n\n5. There, he made his H.Q. at Medan and became a prime mover in the Anti-Fascist League and the Anti-Japanese Union of Overseas Chinese. In 1943, the Japanese clamped down on these organisations, and again Subject fled, this time into the interior of Sumatra. There, he contacted other 'left-wingers'.\n\n6. When the Japanese capitulated, Subject returned to Medan, where he began to spread Communist propaganda. It is also alleged that he was given the job of reforming the Communist party in Medan. His written articles and statements became anti-Imperialist and anti-Dutch. He was a leading contributor to the Democratic Party Daily News, which was strongly left-wing, anti-Dutch, and anti-British.\n\n7. In 1946, he also became a lecturer on Communist policy at a Communist Training School at Medan, known as the Youth Freedom Training Institute.\n\n8. In 1947, Subject made a short trip to Singapore, and after he returned to Indonesia, he was arrested by the Dutch at Pematang Siantar on 6.8.47 for allegedly anti-Dutch activities. According to a statement made to Special Branch, his arrest was caused by K.M.T. elements who were in conflict with the Chinese Democratic League, with which Subject allied himself.\n\n9. Subject was later released by the Dutch on his signing an agreement to leave Sumatra, and on 27.9.47, he arrived in Hong Kong.\n\n10. Seen by Special Branch, he was instructed as to the manner in which persons granted asylum in Hong Kong were expected to behave. He claimed as his friends here several 'leftist' writers, giving their names.\n\n11. Copies of reports on WONG YAM SHUK dealing with his history up to the time of his arrival in Hong Kong on 27.9.47 are available at files (1), (2), and (3).\n\n12. Subject wanted to live at No. 97, 1st fl., San Hui, Castle Peak, and gave his correspondence address as care of the Tat Tak Institute.\n\n13. He was reported later as being in ill health, in poor financial circumstances, and receiving a monthly allowance of $100.00 from the Life Publishing Company, a leftist concern. He also wrote and published a book called 'Indonesia Struggle'. \n\n## File References\n- Files (1), (2), and (3) contain reports on WONG YAM SHUK's history up to his arrival in Hong Kong. \n- Correspondence address: care of the `Tat Tak Institute`\n- Published book: `Indonesia Struggle`", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-617-5 Deportation orders against Yam Shuk Wong- Kin Tse- Yui Chung- Fong Siu- Madame Lui Sze... 18-4-1947 - 25-2-1949.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 594356, "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": "CO129-617-5 Deportation orders against Yam Shuk Wong- Kin Tse- Yui Chung- Fong Siu- Madame Lui Sze... 18-4-1947 - 25-2-1949", "page_number": 16, "title": "CO129-617-5 Deportation orders against Yam Shuk Wong- Kin Tse- Yui Chung- Fong Siu- Madame Lui Sze... 18-4-1947 - 25-2-1949", "content_text": "## \nAbove is an introduction letter by WONG YAM SHUK (`$3`).\n\n罹 LO (AL)\n\nSept. 19th.\n\nI have seen FAI CHAIN TUNG, LAM HAK SHING (`#XM`), (TAT TAK Student) and 2 other men very familiar with SIU CHUNG HON (`††L†`) and FAI.\n\nGeneral opinion is that CHUNG PIU's showing in Medan is very good and that no other political background can be disclosed.\n\nHaving learned about his return to China, CHUONG MIN MO (`#14`) made haste and come with him on the same ship.

In 1941 he was still in Singapore where in 1942 he became a member of the Anti-Enemy Mobilization Committee formed by Tan Kah Kee. When the Japanese were advancing down the peninsula, WONG apparently decided to seek fresh fields and accompanied by several fellow Committee members he fled with HU YIT TSE to Sumatra (4.2.42).\n\nIn Sumatra, WONG took up station at Medan and was a prime mover in the Anti-Fascist League and the Anti-Japanese Union of Overseas Chinese, but in September 1943 the Japanese clamped down on these associations and many of the members were arrested. WONG, with his customary dexterity, escaped into the interior. Sometime in the following year he, together with other prominent communists, was contacted in Brastagi by HU YIT TSE who was later to become head of the Southern (Malayan) Branch Staff of the Democratic League covering Sumatra. Following the capitulation, WONG promptly reappeared in Medan where he exploited the prevailing chaotic conditions to spread communist propaganda.\n\nIt was then decided that HU YIT TSE and LAU BOH SAN should go to Singapore to re-open contact with the M.C.P. SHAO CHUNG HA and WONG were to reorganize the C.P. in Medan. WONG's statements and articles formerly anti-Japanese and anti-Fascist in tone gradually switched over to anti-Imperialist and particularly anti-Dutch. Simultaneously the Anti-Fascist League underwent a metamorphosis and emerged as a branch of the Chinese Democratic League, closely linked with the Republican movement and the Youth Federation.

They hate the \"3 levies\" which oppress them and aspire after a better living. They do not know how to attain their aspiration and the majority merely blame the Government.\n\nIn our opinion, it is time for us to return and freely develop the people's armed struggle.\n\n(2) **THE KEY**: Lacking regular troops and \"FO ON\" Corps, the place is garrisoned by the local defence units. When we attacked HOKSHAN CITY some months ago, the District Government was thrown into a panic. Being unable to maintain peace and order, they issued an order allowing gambling houses to be kept so as to raise funds for buying arms and organise a self-defence unit. It expects to collect, within a short period, from MAN CHUK, WO KUK, and WAM SAI Villages, a sufficient amount with which to purchase three sub-machine guns. It is therefore imperative that we should organise the people and initiate the armed struggle counter-measure against the enemy.\n\nThe transfer of NG CHI TAT (†LO), which will take place shortly, provides us with a good opportunity for our activities. When he is otherwise engaged and the new Magistrate is unaccustomed to the conditions in HOKSHAN, the people's work and armed struggle undertaken by us may lay a foundation that leads to victory. Therefore, we must take advantage of this opportunity to coincide with activities carried out in other places in HOKSHAN.\n\n(3) **OUR CONDITION**: Our armed unit consisting of about 100 members is not big and remains underground. In view of the size of HOKSHAN, it should be expanded. People's work has not extended from the base of our native Villages. If we act in time, we may, through our social connections, succeed in organising the people and causing them to rise and take part in the armed struggle.\n\nAlthough we (three of us) do not come from the same Village, we are in concert in our movements. On our return, we will be cautious in our actions. We can mobilise 20 persons, including poor tenant farmers, primary school students, and our fellow students, and raise funds with which to buy 1 sub-machine gun and a certain number of rifles. We therefore apply to be sent at once (preferably within a week).\n\n**OUR SCHEME**:\n\n1. We hope to be able to contact the responsible officer at the base at HOKSHAN and to get instructions from him to proceed to our respective Villages to develop the work.\n\n2. On our return to the Village from the base, we will make arrangements to buy arms or ask our friends and relatives to loan us their arms. (We expect to buy 1 sub-machine gun and several rifles.)\n\n3. This is a difficult problem to be solved. When we have got the men and arms, we will require some political and military executives with experience in struggles to lead us in order to make it a success.

This document bears a postscript or commentary by Yam Shuk (Subject) in which he corroborates Chung Piu's statement that he was a member of the Peace Preservation Corps at Medan, and a member of the Clique within this Corps friendly to the Democratic Parties. He comments on Chung Piu's probable connection with the Malayan Communist Party. Wong Yam Shuk has obviously had conversation with Chung Piu and advances the opinion that whilst his sense of patriotism is strong, he is lacking in class consciousness, he has no other (K.M.T.?) background and Wong Yam Shuk thinks it would be an easy matter to reform him (awaken his class consciousness?). Wong comments on the fact that Chung Piu is a mechanic capable of repairing arms and suggests someone named Lo should interview him.

I devote myself in the studying of progressive books and I begin to hate the slavery education of former days.\n\nThree months after I entered the TAT TAK INSTITUTE, the People's Liberation Army started their major counter-offensive. I was moved by the development of the new situation and the appeal for returning to the rural areas. Being a revolutionary youth, I should devote myself to the Revolution. With a view to receiving the counter-offensive great army, we should develop armed struggle in rural areas.\n\nWhen I determined to return to rural areas, I joined the \"New Youths\" through the introduction of CHENG SAN, my classmate, and also submitted my autobiography. Comrade KI FONG CHI, who contacted me, told me that the superior had approved my application and a form was handed to me to be filled in.\n\nI also introduced SIU FONG and CHUNG YUI, my schoolmates in TAT TAK, to return to the rural areas and both of them have written their autobiographies.\n\nIn order to get ready the travelling expenses for our trip, each of us obtained $1,000 odd from our country homes.

Meanwhile, I understood that Mr. TSE KIN was still full with orthodox idea of K, so I asked SIU MING(#M) to enlighten him.

He showed determination to return after he was subject to test by Comrades of our Party and still he is. He even suggested being put on test in works and struggles in his capacity of one of the masses in order to prove his loyalty to revolutionary tasks and clarify his political tendency.\n\nHe hopes that he may have his wish fulfilled in the rural areas.

He was far away from his country home and it was difficult for him to receive financial aid; |\n| 2 | Prompted by patriotism; |\n| 3 | Having no knowledge of K Party; and |\n| | Literate youths in the rear were enthusiastic to join the Army. |\n\nAfter the victory in the resistance war he sojourned in Hongkong on his way to Chungking. He stayed in the house of Comrade TSE CHING YUUNG(415), who shook his faith in K.(Kuomintang). In a well-planned manner, a number of books were introduced to him to read and he was quite sensitive and he readily accepted the views of others. Henceforth he has preliminary recognition of the right and wrong of the Kuomintang and Chinese Communist Party and what they offered towards the Chinese Revolution.\n\nHence he has abandoned his desire to return to China to enter one of the universities and remains in Hongkong to study in the TAT TAK INSTITUTE. In a step in advance he has accepted new education and new knowledge.

However, the manufacturing sector continues to face difficulties due to rising production costs and increased competition from neighboring regions.\n\n### Key Issues\n\n1. **Trade Balance**: The trade deficit has widened due to increased imports and decreased exports.\n2. **Inflation Rate**: The inflation rate remains moderate, at 2.5% as of the last quarter.\n3. **Employment**: The unemployment rate has slightly decreased, indicating a stable labor market.\n\n### Recommendations\n\nTo address the current economic challenges, the following measures are proposed:\n- Enhance support for the manufacturing sector through `XCR(85)72` initiatives.\n- Implement policies to improve trade balance, such as promoting local products through `GR1178/1922/32(III)`.\n- Monitor inflation closely and adjust monetary policies as necessary.\n\nPage 363\n\n**RESTRICTED**", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-617-5 Deportation orders against Yam Shuk Wong- Kin Tse- Yui Chung- Fong Siu- Madame Lui Sze... 18-4-1947 - 25-2-1949.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 } ]
