OBSERVATIONS.

Enclosure No. 2, being the Hongkong Government's recom- mendations and observations on the Report (made in the light of representations) sets forth amer ous observations with regard to the pay of various poata. We select the following extracts being of general interest:

Dollar Salaries.

Attention is invited to the state- ment in paragraph 14 of the Re port that, in order to counter- balance the increase in the cost of living, a rise of 20% in dollar salaries is called for. This pro- nouncement further strengthens the contention that the present salaries of the local employees of Government are inadequate.
