I mentioned to you the statement in the cutting from the "Evening Standard" (opposite) that

Mr. Gimson had said over the Hong Kong radio that he would like a message of reassurance from the

British Government. This is curious if in fact (as reported in No.10) he had received the message

that as

at No.5 (see especially marked passage in paragraph 2b) on the 23rd August. You agreed, however, Admiral Harcourt is now in touch with him, it is unnecessary to send him any further message.

2. This afternoon the "Daily Herald" informed Mr. Haler that a message had appeared on the tape to the effect that, on landing, Admiral Harcourt had delivered to Mr. Gims on a message from the Secretary of State for the Colonies. This must be, of course, the message in paragraph 2 of No.9. There has not been any "general" message from the Secretary of State of reassurance, of a kind which can be published. I accordingly agreed with Mr. Haler that he should inform the "Daily Herald" that the message taken to Mr. Gimson by

Admiral Harcourt was of a routine service character and was not for publication.
