Governors' Emoluments
Telephone No. & Ext.
Department
In my letter FP 1/10 of 25 April I put
to you a number of points on this subject; and
I am grateful for the expeditious and
considerate way in which you and John Kennedy
dealt with them.
2. In paragraph 6 of that letter I said that
the cases of Fiji and the Western Pacific were
of quite exceptional complication and that I
proposed to make them the subject of a separate
letter to you. This is the promised letter.
It deals, however, not only with Fiji and the
Western Pacific but with the Governors of all
our remaining dependent territories. For the
thorough and painstaking researches which we
EN
have undertaking in the Commonwealth Office
have convinced me that the time has come when
equity demands that a root and branch review of
Governors' emoluments be undertaken.
3. In trying to assess the equitable salary
for any Colonial Governor we have, I suggest,
to take into account the following consideratias
(a) Relative responsibility.
(b) Historic relationships.
(c)
Differential between the Governor and the
highest paid member of his own staff.
