cHAP. 111] THE UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA 985 of public officers as Parliament may determine. Any officer who is not retained in the public service as the result of the Union shall receive the same treatment as he would have been entitled to receive on abolition of office under the Government of which he was a servant. Those who are retained shall have all their existing and accruing rights made good to them, and can retire on such pension and at such age as they could have done under the law of the Colony in which they originally served. The services of no officer are to be dispensed with simply because he does not know Dutch or English. Special provision is to be made by Parliament if necessary for the permanent officers of the Colonial Parliaments who may lose office because of the Union. The provisions are not at all ungenerous, and are evidently designed to obviate the hostility to the Union of the great body of public servants in South Africa. None the less, the demands made upon the anxiety of public servants for the best interests of the South African States is shown by the fact that they will many of them undoubtedly lose their posts by the operation of the amalgamation of the services of the Colonies. It is true that many posts will still be preserved, but it is equally certain that there must be a very considerable total reduction, especially in the better-paid offices. At the same time, the pensions payable on abolition of office will be a small consolation to those for whom places cannot be found in the new administrations. § 7. FinaxciaL Provisions The financial clauses! are of considerable importance and are somewhat lengthy. All revenues, from whatever sources, over which the Colonies have at the time of union power of appropriation shall vest in the Governor-General in Council. There shall be formed a Railway and Harbour Fund into which shall be paid all revenues from the administration of railways, ports, and harbours, and such fund is to be appro- priated by Parliament for the purposes of the railways, ports, bss, 117-33.
