WHEEL OF ROTARY
Blamed By Chinese For Storm
When the Australian Rotary delegation to the East travelled some time ago by the Taiping, a large wheel, the insignia of the Rotarians, was hoisted up and affixed near the bridge of the ship.
Soon after leaving Sydney, the Taiping ran into the worst storm. of her history. Three passengers |were injured, and the wind reach-
ed a force of 100 miles an hour.
The Chinese members of the crew looked upward towards the Rotary_wheel, conferred among themselves, and decided that the Rotary wheel was a bad omen! It was causing the storm to round and round.
The captain was informed of the Chinese superstition, and the wheel was removed.
Delivering the annual oration founded in memory of Dr. George
"Chinese" Morrison, at the In- stitute of Anatomy' in Canberra, the Consul General for China (Dr. C. J. Pao) made an appeal for closer understanding and closer co-operation between the people of Australia and those of China.
"A real economic co-operation between Australia and China on a basis of reciprocity, that would result in mutual advantage, is primarily important,” said Dr. Pao. It is urgent that a closer relationship and a better under- standing be created between our two great nations."
Dr. Pao added that, in the education for her people, China, after years of turmoil and stagna- tion, had found a way for her revival and resurrection. The world was witnessing in China to-day, not the death of a nation, but the pangs of an ancient civil- isation in the process of re-birth.
