CIVIL SERVICE BONUS.

A Defence and A Protest.

The Civil Service Confederation has addressed a letter to all members of Parliament in regard to the debate on the Civil Service war bonus.

Except in the Post Office, where a small bonus was granted to the [lower-paid staff in 1915, no oompensation (says the Con- foderation) was made to Civil servants for the enormous rise in the cost of living until July 1916, when a bonus WAS granted generally to all Civil servants gutting less than £3 a week.

The system adopted produced many anomalies and injustices. and was reviewed by the Civil Service National Whitley Council early in 1920, and as a result the

Ministry of Labour figures were taken as the basis; but it is not the case, a is so frequently alleged, that all Civil servants get full compensation for the increased cost of living.

The feet is that, as from the 1st of March 1920. those Civil servants receiving 35s, a week or less obtained an increase of 130 per cent. the figuré of the increase in cost of living at that dato. Beyond 358, a week up to £200 a year the increase was reduced to 60 per cont., and above £200 2 year to With the exception, 40 per cent. therefore, of those Civil servants who are receiving 35s, a week or less, the bonus has never com- pensated for the increased cost of living.

The sliding scale adopted was based on the average cost of living figure of the previous four. months, subject to revision at periodical intervals. As a result Civil servants were receiving a bonus based on the average, of the July to October Index figures,

November, December, and Jan- bary, when the index figures were 176, 169, and 165 respectively.

Now, however, that a fall has set in, the lag operates with the reverse effect. If the increases had been immediate, the decreases would have been immediate also: in one direction but arrears involve arrears in the other. This is bound to be the case in any sliding scale based upon the average of several months.

The suggestion that the officials of the Ministry of Labour cook the figures in order to increase their own salaries is as ludicrous as it is inean and scurrilous. No eharge either of unfair dealing or undue profit can be substantiated against the Civil Service.

It would not be right to con- clude without a protest against the way in which the Civil Service is being used for political commemorative enterprise of the purposes. To-day it is national Peace Exhibition to be held under economy; to-morrow it may be the auspices of Tokyo Prefecture. something else, and if the British Mr. Keitaro Sato, a prominent Civil Service is to be used as a business man and the Chairman
