PAGE TWELVE THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1951 Chinese Nationalists Riot Protesting British Move Taipeh, Formosa, April 18--(AP) --Forty Chinese students, angered over reports that Britain had pro- posed giving Formosa to the Chin- ese Reds, yesterday hauled down the Union Jack at the British consulate at nearby Tansui. They hoisted the Chinese Na-' tionalist flag and ripped British emblems from two consular cars, but did no further harm to the consulate or its personnel. They chalked anti-British slogans on the walls. A consulate official hauled down the. Nationalist flag, but the stu- dents immediately ran it up again. Police stationed at the consulate --an old Dutch fort overlooking Formosa Straits--finally persuaded "the students to leave. They carried the torn-down Union Jack with them. The flag was recovered and re- turned to Consul E. H. Jacobs- Larkcom. N Chalked signs -- "Appeasers" and ."Down with British Imperialism" -- were left on consulate walls, homes of British residents and the wall of a Canadian-run Presbyterian mission school. Peter Chang, a Nationalist emis- sary to the Formosan provincial government, said Nationalist. offi- cials deplore the affairs and are anxious to prevent a recurrence. Early last year a similar incident | erupted when Britain switched . recognition from the Chinese Na- tionalists to the Communists. Riot- ing soldiers pulled down the Union Jack and demonstrated in the con- sulate courtyard.
