COMPARISONST

THE CIVIL SERVANT AT HOME

AND ABROAD.

The following is an interesting extraet from the report of the Public Service Salaries Commission of Malays

It is hardly possible to attempt any intimate comparison between the condi- tions of the Public Service in Great Bri- tain and in the Crown Colonies. We quote again what was well pointed out by Mr. (now Sir Reginald) Stubbs in paragraph of his report:

THE SHANGHAI MOTOR ACCIDENT TRIAL. CHAUFFEUR'S STORY OF A DEVIL BEFORE THE CAR

How the reflexion of the sun in a motor ear nerident was told in H.M. Supreme car windshield and a devil caused a motor Court, before his Honour Judge Sir Havilland de Saumarez, when the case was continued last week in which Mr. and Mr. G. A. Turner and their Chineno injuries to the two last named caused by servant sought to recover damages for

the collision of a car, hired from the Shanghai Garage Co., Ltd, and driven

In England it is usually peexible for a Civil Servant to adjust 'his ex- penditure to suit his income by exorcising economy in various directions, c.g., by living in a cheap house, by employing few servants and by spending little on by one of their servants, with a tree in entertaining In the Malay Peninsula Routa Pichon on June 4th last, economies of this kind are scarcely poe. The chauffeur in his evidenos stated that sible, especially in the case of u married

He must conform to a standard which is set for him by other people if he is not to diminish the credit of the service in the eyes of both unofficial Europeans and of the native communities.

He cannot, therefore, live in a cheap. house even if he could find one; be can- not dispense with the usual number of servants; he must belong to the usual clubs and generally live as other people do; and, if he is a married man or is in charge of a district, he must do a con- siderable amount of entertaining. It must be remembered that many parts of the F.M.S. now contain, as the Colony baa long contained, a prosperous and wealthy population of Europeans outside the Government service, a fact which na turally leads to the setting of a high standard of living.

"Although the above was written only with direct reference to Malaya and its Cadet Service it may be taken broadly as a correct and striking comment on what is the position of the great majority of European officers in practically all Malaya

and in most Crown Colones; and the fidelity of the picture can with difficulty be appreciated except by those who have resided in these places.
