The Government of India are only willing to meet
us half-way. Their original proposal was that the special
pay and allowances attached to the post of Medical Officer,
V
Zabul, should remain at Rs-250 a month. In view of
><N
Lieutenant•Colonel Laly’s recommendations that they should
be raised to Rs.500 a month and the comraents of the Medical
Adviser, it was suggested to the Government of India that a
total of Rs.350 a month was justified. After further
consideration the Government of India are not prepared to
give more than Rs.300, although they are aware that the
post was unpopular amongst I.M.S. officers when the
allowances attached to it (including the allowance for
•
acting as Vice-Consul) amounted to Rs.350.

we can p? ess our suggestion any further. It is understood
that Captain E.A. O’Connor (an I.M.S. officer of nine

replacement of Lieutenant-Colonel Pyper. Perhaps so long
as a junbr officer holds the appointment, the special pay

and allowances now proposed are sufilcient.
3. '"ith regard to the customs compensatory allowance,
which is to be increased from Rs.50 to Rs.100 a month,
all that the Government of India are proposing to do is to
bring this allowance into line with that drawn by the Vice
