When Katanga's Cattier sailed, he left behind him his two inseparable agents, Messrs. Fernand Pisart and Camille Gutt. When they saw the conference getting no place they announced they had booked reservations for Europe. When it became clear that Director Storke would accede to nothing, Messrs. Pisart & Gutt sailed and the conference was officially ended, all copper companies were free to grab for all they could. Roan's Storke remained alone on the battlefield, told the U. S.
