why anybody with special

qualifications and speciallaed knowledge should join the Essential Services Corpo, regarding which an Ordinance has been introduced before Legislative Council, and on behalf of which Ills Excellency the Governor made a radio append on Wednes- day evening. Loyalty to the place that provides a livelihood and a sanctuary is one consideration; the importance of Hongkong in the individual lives of the community is another; appreciation of the necessity of communal service" in a time of emergency yet another; and there is the recognition of inescapable duty. These are all valid reasons for the fullest possible support being given to tin integral aspect of defence in Hongkong and, in themselves, should command a ready response to the appeal for volun. Leers to offer their services in a capacity, for which they are best fitted. The Governor also laid emphasis on yet another aspect-the necessity of the civilian population properly bearing a burden which cannot be laid on the shoulders of the military reinforcements

should a crisis arise; It is the responsibility of Becing that essential services are fully maintained. This is a job that can be best carried out by those fully trained and experienced in the task. It is a job for the civvies, and while'there is no doubt that In the event of an emergency these specialists would be eager to pull their ›weight, it is manifestly desirable that they should be organised for their duties beforehand. Hence the creation of the Essential Services. Corps and the appeal. for immediate volunteering. It has been tacitly admitted that the attempt to create, an Essential Services Wing of the Volun- teer Defence Force has falled, and it has „been suggested that one reason is that many people" who would like to have

not done so because they feared they

would come under military discipline. There may be an element of truth in this; it is more likely, however, that many of those who found themselves posted to the Essential Services and Key Post Groups in 1941 remember the invidious treatment which they received when the war finally came to an end. For many there was little or no recognition of their active services and they were made to feel neglected and forgolten people, Fear that they would be accorded similar treatment in the event of another emergency has probably been the principal reasoci for the apathy towards the Essential Services Wing of the Defence Force. And if there is any criticism of the Bill now before Legis. Intive Council to raise an Essential Services. Corps it is that it makes no detailed provision for priviloges, pay and benefits. The explanation given is that Government wishes to make this elastic organisation and it is an accep table proposition.
