CHAPTER XVI THE IIRIGAND IS UNMOVIID

Faced with the iiltimatian of a raid on Tan ni-delivered with an agreeable casualnesa more appro- priate to an invitation to tea in a cathedral town -in England-the two Englishmen could only regard one another blankiy.

Rather oddly. it was Gerald Havelock who first found his voice.

"I think not." said he. "'I'hcre:s a gunboat at Chunking. she can be up here in plenty of time. if I send a message to her commander."

Wu smiled pleasantly. loss at Gerald than upon the world at large.

"To see what is right." he observ- ed. "and not to do it. is want of courage."

"What do you mean by that?" demanded Gerald angrily.

the table before him.

"It is proverb of our country." he answered quietly. "You see what is right. Mr. I-lavelock-but you will not do it."

why not?" asked Patrick Wu burned ccurteously to the missionary.

"Mr. James I do not think that Mr. Havelock is a fool-though he Is young. He dare not send for the gunboat. It would be folly. The country between here and Chung- king is in my hand. No message could get through. If the boat were here it would not dare to open fire These incidents are no longer popu- lar with your countrymen. Mr James. I am in relation with the Republican authorities of who pay my soldiers." "You're nothing but a brigand," began Gerald; then he saw the saw the warning lock in James' eyes. and changed his tone. "What on earth have you to gain by viol- ence. General? If you hold your hand. I might persuade my Com- pany in pay you some kind of monthly subsidy-on conditicn that you guarantee the safety of Tan Fu against other-mara.uders."

Patrick James frowned ferocioiis- 1y 0n this. but Gerald took no notice.

"Well General?" '

"Fine words,” stiid Wu Tso Ling slowly. "and an insinuating manner

"confound your virtue and your proverbs!"

The General ignored the out- burst. "You will pay, Mr. Have- lock?"

"1 said-No!"

Wu rose ponderousiy in his feet, pushing back his chair. "The sup- erior man." he said. "has neither anxiety nor fear. I shall be here a

little before sundown for the money." . Gerald rose in his turn. "You

couldn't. bluff Mr. Dale., General. and you can't bluff me! I may not send for the gunboatr-but you won't sack Tan Pu!"

Whether from the mention of Leslie Dale's name causing a net. tain uneasiness in the bandws mind, or from a determination to scare Gerald l-favelock thoroughly Wu for the first time In the course of the interview displayed anger

"Tb sack Tan Pu would be it righteous act!" he said. "it is only a. shelter for foreign devils! 'l"he mind of the superior man is conver- sant with righteousness."

"And yet." interrupted Pltrlcit James smoothly. leaning back inhis Ch'"- End 100538 at the Chinaman OVEP molly. "fcr fifty 'thousand dollars you would refrain from that righteous act!

"YOU HAVE HEARD MY TERMS"

Gerald had no intention of sag. in the initiative in the negotitat- 1011! bus from his own hands to those of the missionary.

"Surely we can be sensible-come to a reasonable compromise?" he protested.

"Mr. Havelock my terms."

Patrick James yawned vastily. displaying his many large and ex- cellent teeth.

"You realise General. this mean; 8 film If you persist?"

Wu shook his head. as if in mel. nnoholy reeret. "No. Mr. James. I understand the position of Mr, I-Iaveloek perfectly. He is bound in do all he can to save the money of his Company. He has tried.

Mr. Loran Baker in his remarks told the delegates that it was up to the industry to advertize their pro- ducts. The Government would try to stimulate sales by providing in- formation to fcod editors and radio programs but would not take an active part in advertising. he stat- ed. The processing of a high quality product which reaches the consum- er at top grade was unanimously agreed upon as being one of the most effective means cf advcrtiz- ing the fisheries products.

One Montreal man stated that on his way to the Conference he had ordered a fillet. on the carferry Abegweit which must have been three weeks old. He told the deleg- ates that to-urists. coming here. cer- tainly would not be inclined to eat fish if they received similar qual- ity products.

Mr. Eugene Gcrman of the Ex- tension Department of St. Dun- st.an's University. stated that he was sorry to say it but the condi- tions regarding fresh fish here would not be very'much better in the middle of summer.

He pointed out that local sup- pliers here had to fight an up- hill grind because they were tied in with big buyers who demanded that they be supplied with fresh fish the year round. He recounted his cwn experiences. incurred when selling fish when he would be coll- ed into the Charlottetown to talk with the top brass.

During the first business session the delegates were urged to ad- vertize their fillets in the '.7iiit.ed' States by Mr. D. A. Doraii of Bos- ton. There is where you can do a job for increasing ycur sales. he stated. The U.S. A. can not pos- sibly produce enough fish to fill her own demand.

Mr. Harrison urged that more at-

He settled his fur hat. and raised I hand in salute before tuminil away. , With that ceremonial close of the interview something seemed to snap in Gerald I-lavelock's brain. He was cciiscious only of A swirling red mist. before his eyes through which loomed wu's sneering face; of the ccnviction that once again he had failed in R task to which he had set his hand. He whipped the pistol from his pocket and levelled it between Wu's shoulder-blades. "Two can play at shooting you know!" he snarled as he did so. Next moment. Patrick James. with a. speed incredible in a man of,his size and bulk. had flung himself across the table. and gripped Ger- ald'a wrist, twisting it savagely un- til the barrel of the pistol pointed to the ceiling. It was as well, for the Mausers of wu's two guards were already half way from their LIA ywua. ..

O. K. Reluctant To Follow II. S.

(New York Titties service) LONDON. Jan. 25-Despite Corn- munist China's rejection of the tilted Nations ceasefire plan for Korea, British opinion was inani- festly still reluctant Monday to plunge deeper into controversy and conflict with the Peiping Govern- ment. by declaring China an ag- gresaor.

Kenneth Younger. minister of state for foreign affairs, who was recently Britain's chief delegate to the United Nations, said in Shef- field this afternoon that the world nrganization's first duty was "to settle quarrels by peaceful means" and "this it is determined to do so long as any hope remains." one hopes, he added, "that the door is not yet closed."

To declare China. an aggressor forthwith would be "unjustifiable." said the London Weekly spectator. "and it is hoped that the British Government will not yet approve such a step.” , There was certainly no belliger- ency in the Government's first re- actions to Peiping's rejection of the United Nations proposals for a ceasefire and negotiatio . A Ebr- eign Office spokesman expressed only "keen disappointment"-and nothing of the indignation that was voiced so quickly by secrretary of State D. Acheson in Washington yesterday and President Truman

today.

In opposing immediate con- demnation of China, the Spectator acknowledged that such an atti- tude would mean "a divergence of policy between this country. toge-

ther with some members of the commonwealth. and the United States,"

Although hesitant to follow the United states. the British Govern- ment apparently was not disposed to make further concessions to China. The Foreign Office spokes- man said that the United Nations plan rejected by Peiping "had gone the limit to meet. the Chinese point of view."
