Sefer Orchos Yosher by RC Kanievsky p.20:

".. And also about payos that they put behind their ears, Maran [the CI] was not pleased, and said that this looks like they are embaressed from the mitzva, and one shouldn't do it, and in chutz la'aretz they were afraid of the goyim who would mock us (even though anyway they mock), but here in EY that BH the generation has improved much amongst the bnei torah, there is no reason to degrade this.."
