It may be remembered, says the Straits Times of the 8th Instant, that when the unofficial mem- bes of Council resigned over the Military Con tribution que lion, they thereby dis-rganised a Committee that had been appointed to er quire into certain claims advanced by the sub- ordinate branch of the Civil Service of the Colony, Sportentally, the allegation of the subordinate Civil servants is that, since the higher Civil servants have, obtained exchange compensation, something ought to be done for the subordinates also. The pressure is perhaps greater upon these subordt. Bate Civil servants who are natives of India or

Ceylon, and who have to remit money to a rupee- using country. We understand that, on the Commission has been dissolved, the subordinate

members of the Civil Service desire to approach the Govrmor by pastion.
