Missing HK Yacht The Deputies Reds'

Mystery Deepens

TWO PORTUGUESE WOMEN REPORTED TO BE ABOARD

-

There was still no news this morning of the yacht Kert on which Mr W. J. C. Josling and a party of friends were said to have sailed in the direction of Macao from Hongkong waters last Sunday afternoon.

Mr Josling, according to information released this morning, borrowed the yacht from its owner, Capt. W. D. Neil, of the Merchant Navy. The vessel was then lying in the Causeway Bay typhoon shelter in the care of the A. King Slipway (well- known yacht builders).

With Me Josling and another Englishman, three. Portuguese women, 1 Shanghai Chinese, and a crew of a coxawain and a sallor, the yacht left the on- chorage about 1.50 p.m. On Sunday for a cruise' to Cheung Chau Island. They reached there about 5.15 p.m. and Josling's English companion and one Portuguese woman *disembarked, retuming to

Deadlock In Paris Talks Tightens

Paris, Mar. 15.

The deadlock in the junior Big Four conference on German rearmament, which the Russians re- gard as the No. 1 issue, tightened another notch tonight.

PRES the free world's decision to

rearm itself can be said to represent majority opinion, although the neces- sity for such a policy evokes no sense of satisfaction. On the contrary it illuminates the chronic international situation almost entirely created by Soviet belligereney, as expressed through a well-planned programme of imperialist expansionism, and of Soviet intransigency and obstruc- tionism as illustrated at Lake Success and other international conferences. In Paris, for example, Mr Gromyko Is making no honest attempt to reach agreement with the Foreign Ministers" deputies of the United States, Britain and France, and by his attitude is making it palpably clear that Russia. has no intention of discussing at high level the causes of the current inter national tension, or of trying to eliminate them. Not without, signifi- canco, did. Mr. Gromyko this week observe that "this is not the time to talk of failure." It can have only one Interpretation: that the Soviet repre- sentative is certain the talks will fall, and that he is not propared to do any- thing to avert such an ignominious reault. By this typical attitude at the conference table, Russia forfeits. the free world's, confidence in the good faith and honest Intentions of the Soviets, and compels the Wost to make preparations for the next evil move which the Kremlin may have planned.

Hitherto. this technique of intimidation and bluff has met with some success, but the free world is no longer willing to be frightened; to deny itself the right to make the necessary preparations to.. discourage and withstand aggression. The non-Soviet bloc, as President Truman emphasises, has learnt that it must rearm because firstly, it offers the chief and only hope of preventing a third world war; and secondly, if Rus sia insists upon provoking an interna- tional conflict, it will enable the free world to withstand the onslaught.. Aggression, however covert, is a viola- tion of international. law and a denial of the principles of the United Na- tions. Soviet Russia has committed aggression in a number of ways during the past five years and she gives no
