Objects and Reasons.

1. The object of this Ordinance is to establish in the Colony a Mercantile Marine Assistance Fund to be administer- ed by a Committee financed by the revenues of the Colony.

2. Similar Funds have been established in Singapore and Penang, under Straits Settlements Ordinance No. 125, s. 417 (as amended by No. 28 of 1926); but there the financing is done by debiting the expenses of the Fund against a particular section of the revenue, the fees paid in respect of Sunday Cargo Working exemptions. In Calcutta a proportion of the Sunday working fees is allocated to the Seamen's Welfare Committee there. In England similar service is performed by the Mercantile Marine Masters and Officers Relief Fund which receives contributions from the National Relief Fund, King George's Fund and other sources.
