Sir A. Galsworthy
General Pearson called to see me this afternoon
after the completion of the UNISON exercise.
He said he had kept a very close eye on Hong Kong
and felt some relief that things were now easier there.
He went on to express the view that earlier, after the
onset of the crisis, there had been a certain amount of
friction between the civil and military authorities but
he thought these difficulties were now all straightened
out. The fact was that General Worsley was a splendid
fighting soldier. He had plenty of dash and guts but
was not of the contemplative temperament which could
settle down to a long period of psychological warfare,
and found it difficult to resist the temptation to
strike back when action could be unfortunately
provocative.
Nevertheless the military had now been
assigned a definite role and his impression was that
things were working quite smoothly and, curiously, that
General Worsley and Mr. Gass seemed to co-operate well
together, perhaps precisely because they were such
opposites. He would certainly like to pay a tribute
to the efficiency of the machine in Hong Kong which he
felt had stood up remarkably well under conditions of
crisis and operated extremely smoothly. There was no
doubt that we had won most of the battles so far (even

that we could only hang on in the hope that if there had to be any
withdrawal, either before or at the time when
the leases fell in, we could do so with honour to
ourselves and with justice to the safety of the millions
in Hong Kong for whom we were responsible.

I am very sorry not to have sent this on before for you to
General Pearson also came to see me and said very much the same thing as
he had said to Sir Saville Garner. I made a point of asking General
Pearson for his candid opinion of the way in which Mr. Gass has been
conducting affairs during the time he has been Acting Governor,
mentioning the allegations circulating in some quarters in London and in
Hong Kong that he was not up to the job. General Pearson said that he,
General Carver and all concerned in Singapore believe that Mr. Gass has
been doing an excellent job. They felt that he had acted with coolness,
courage and sound judgment, and had complete confidence in him.
