(4) The existing rates of
pa S 1 frfl Q
e between India
and Aden, and vice versa (apparently an
4f*
uneconomic rate) should continue.
3 . Prima facie, these proposals appear to be
reasonable, though I am not sure whether H.M.G. can be
expected to contribute towards pension or gratuities
for servants of the Government of India for whom no
employment can be found. However the proposals seem
to be worthy of consideration and might be passed on to
the colonial Office in due course.
4. For the moment it seems to be useless to pass
on the proposals to the Colonial Office in their present
form. We do not appear to have any information as to
what the existing rates of pay of the postal and
telephone staff are, nor do the Government of India
give any indication of what they mean by a ’’proper
proportion” of the charges involved in compulsory
retirements. Unless any other Department can supply
additional information on these points, it is submitted
that we should refer the matter back to India and ask
for more precise details. Draft letter is submitted
accordingly. ^
