(b) The Minister has also expressed his anxiety that I should

accept that, leaving aside the question of corruption, the Hongkong Government "were within their contractual right" (in terminating my probationary appointment) "in the way

that they did."

(c)

This condition is totally inadmissible, and I am surprised

that I should have been asked to accept it.

I will under no circumstances agree to waive or restrict,

in any way whatever, my right to have recourse to any legal means of redress open to me should this submission fail to obtain for me the relief to which I feel, and am

advised, that I am entitled.

On the contrary, my complaint is based upon the ground

that the Hongkong Government, in purporting to terminate my empayment in the manner described in this statement, and in the many representations which have preceded it, was guilty of an abusive and fraudulent misuse of the

conditions of my engagement.

My submission is that the facts already on file and now recapitulated herein, amply support this contention.

Since it has quite correctly been pointed out to me

that the Commissioner has power to go only into allegations of corruption, I have avoided in this

submission reference to the administrative aspects of

my complaint.

(d) Further, this statement concentrates upon the principal

· item of direct evidence of my complaint and does not

go into the detail of considerable circumstantial

evidence relevant to the complaint.
