With Gass

Now that Sir David Trench has relinquished his post as Wes tern Pacific High Commissioner {to be kicked upstairs as Gov ernor of Hong Kong ) it breaks up a very happy and efficient working combination between Sir David and WHPC Chief Secretary, Mr. M. D. I. Gass.

Which reminds us of the time three years ago when Sir David's appointment was first announced and the wags in Honiara were saying to each other, “Have you heard? We’re to have Trench warfare, using Gass!”
