I am doubtful whether in such a case their written
application for travel facilities would in itself be
sufficient, and whether it would not also be necessary to
produce evidende, which could only be oral, that the man
had ceased to work before the Company had ceased to pay
him*
Regarding those falling under head (3); even if
evidence can be produced that the man was an unsatisfactory
employee, he cannot be prosecuted and the only course open
to the Conpany is to discharge him*
b. Regarding the reference of all applications for
release to the Consul’s Committee* Quite apart from the
objections mentioned in paragraph 3 of my letter of 10th
June, it seems to me, that until we dan devise a means to
punish men who fall under categories (2) and (3) above, it
would be unnecessarily publicising the weakness of the
Order, if we require that all applications should be
examined by a Committee, who, if they act conscientiously,
must inevitably be inclined to recommend that the vast
majority of these be rejected* If, on the other hand,
the Committee is to be so guided that it deals leniently
with applecations, I feel that it would not be long before
acceptance became automatic, which surely, we ourselves can
qo with more dignity and less trouble; keeping the
Committee in reserve to deal with extreme cases*
