Meanwhile the wrath of Manufacturer George D. Haskell (Bausch Machine & Tool Co.) of Springfield, Mass., has grown mighty. Years ago he decided that the Aluminum Co. of America was monopolizing a highly profitable business.

That hope has eluded fulfillment like a mirage and Peking has grown hot, hotter, too hot. Last week the delegates passed a motion to adjourn indefinitely, packed their traps and trinkets, departed...
...greatgrandmother." This fact, "a source of unending pride . . . has grown into a humble yet valiant desire to write of times in which, if he had been the arbiter of his own destiny, he would gladly have lived." For ten years he has been gathering the material, and "foot by foot the hallowed ground has been travelled" for an historical novel with the Anglo-French struggle in the 1750's for domination of Canada as its background. Here, at last, is that novel. Its titular figure is Peter Joel, border mystery-man, who dyed his doeskins black, sooted his face...
