New Problems FE Canada Created By llearinament

OTTAWA. Jen. b-(CP)- Trade Howe announced the rvoi-M's reaimament drive will create new problems for Canada in 1061.

"some adjustments will be need- ed." he predicted in his 3.000-word review of the 1930 trade and econ- omlc success story, a story that may well have its sequel in the new year.

"Looking ahead in the year 1952. it is only too apparent that the re- armament and defence programs of the free nations of the world will be to major factor in the 1951 econ- omic picture.

"Here in Canada. increased pro- duction to meet our mivn defence needs and to fulfill our commit.- merits under the North Atlantic: Treaty is bound to create problems in an economy already operating- clrxse to capacity." i

Ho Ping shivered. in spite of the hot sun in which he stood. The general had not raised his voice. nor moved a finger. But there was a latent menace in his words, which Ho Ping recognized with the in- stinct of a. people which has en- dured much at the hands of bandits over countless generations.

Dale has two guests in his house.” said 1-lo Ping. "A while man and his wife. They came up river by the last, steamboat. A Mr. Have- lcck." And Ho Ping stumbled bad- ly over his rendering of the name.

The general hoisted himself up- right. in his chair. He moved re- rnnrkably swiftly for so heavily. built it man. The movoment incid- ently revealed the faintly astonish- lng words "Vie Parisiennc" painted on the top rail of the chair. Had Ho Ping dared to ask the question. the general wculd have been de- lighted to inform him-with 3 twink- le in his eyes -that he had enjoyed few exploits in his career so much as the anibushlng of n French plea- sure steamer so e years before ”Thls Mr, Ha elock." said the general. "He is a guest of Mr. Dale?” "He has come to work with Mr. Dale." corrected 1-lo Ping. Wu-Tso-Ling took a heavy mono- grammed cigarette case from the breast pocket of his tunic, and lighted a fresh cigarette.

"I should be glad to know acme- thlng of this Mr. I-lavelock." he said, and blew smoke-rings neatly through each other with the art born of long practice.

Havelcck is H young man." said Ho Ping, shifting his feet. The grcund was stony in the extreme. and he had had to lead his pony for some five miles in the heat of the day. "lie has xery good clothes, and rides well. He speaks no Chinese. He is. in my judgment, 4: person of little understanding."

The general smiled benevolei-itl,v. and leaned back once more. "Con- tinue llo Ping."

"My master is not exceptionally pleased with the company of Mr. I-iavelock."

"And the woman. Ho Ping?" Shameless. like all European wo- men. Without regard for her hus- band. or my master. shrill-voiced. and quite without courtesy." The general closed his eyes, "You have done well in speaking to me of tiiese things. l-lo Ping. You will convey to your master my coin- pliments. I hope soon to pay hint A visit of ceremony. But of that you need not speak-as yet. You have my leave to go." l-lo Ping stcod not upon the order of his going. He went at once. And until he re-entered the narrow ill- smelled streets of Tan Pu. he re- mained quite certain in his own mind that never again would he obey Ieslie Dnle's orders to cairy messages to General Wu-Tso-Ling in the frutnesses od his own hills.

CHAPTER IV "HE'S BEEN IE!-ID SOFIT

While Ho Ping, thus weary and ex- asperated alike in body and mind. sweated over the stony tracks on his return journey to Ten Pu. Leslie Dale faced Patrick James ecross the big table in the latter's study. Like Leslie's own room this looked across the roofs of Tan Fu to the river. Like Leslie's it was the room e man whose work came first and oom- forts by comparison nowhere.

Like Leslie's it was fumlshed with the oddest mixture of bits and pieces collected from all over the place; shanghai. Japan, Old Xen- rd. But unlike Leslie's a woman's hand was apparent. and most dearly. The chintzes were clean. The books were dusted. 'I11e cur- tains toned with the chintses. And there were some charming water- colour sketches on the walls of Jan- et's old home in Ireland. sketches inede long ago by -Janet herself.

4. How do we know that?

The thermometer shows that the tempo.-aiure of the inside of the body is usually lowered in a man who has been drinking.
