U. S.-British Rift Over Asia
Policy Hits Delicate Point
By J. M. ROBERTS, JR.
AP Foreign Affairs Analyst
The division between the United
States and the British Common
wealth over Asiatic policy has
reached such a delicate point that
Secretary Acheson doesn’t want
to talk about it.
The attitude of Prime Minister
Nehru of India toward U. S. and
United Nations policy has passed
from non-cooperation to attack.
Judging by Prime Minister Att
lee’s speech Tuesday, the British
government, occupying an extreme
ly weak position at home, sways
back and forth.
Britain, forced out of her regal
position, has had trouble in even
keeping India within the common
wealth. She wants no split with
Nehru over policy toward Commun
ist China. Nehru happens this time
to be speaking the language of
vast British financial interests in
China.
Britain is still inclined, however,
to join in branding China as an ag
gressor, or as Attlee put it, to
condemn “Chinese intervention in
support of an aggressor,” but not
to follow through with sanctions.
The United States seems re
signed to this course, despite the
danger that this slap on the wrist
without any follow-through, this
half-measure, might really be
worse than nothing.
It is silly, of course, to consider
Nehru’s idea that Communist China
be admitted to U. N. membership
while she is doing, through her
Korean intervention, exactly what
the U. N. has called on all nations
not to do.
Nehru may have something when
he says the Communist' government
of China should have been admitted
to the U. N. as soon as it estab
lished itself in firm control of the
country. Britain felt that way at
the time. It would have fitted long
standing U. S. policy.
Across the very narrow no man’s
land between peace and war, the
enemy’s unitv lies in might.

Armstrong County, S. D.
Has No Federal Employes
Armstrong County, S. D., Jan. 25
—(ZP)—Armstrong County residents
will never have a big mass meeting
over the government report that
they live in the only county in the
nation without a-federal employe.
If anyone felt inclined to call
such a meeting and everyone came,
the attendance would be 52 per
sons. That’s by the 1950 census
count.
Anyway it would be too much
trouble for the handful of ranchers
and Indians scattered over .Arm
strong’s 530 square miles of rolling
west-central South Dakota prairie
to gather for such a purpose.
Armstrong has distinctions other
than its lack of government em
ployes.
It has. no towns. It’s reported to
be the only U. S. county without
a post office. And it has undoubt
edly the smallest voting popula-
' tion. A single voting precinct is
adequate for the whole county,
which lies in. the Cheyenne River
Indian Reservation.
As a state unit, Armstrongds un
organized. It is attached to ad
joining Stanley County for politi
cal purposes. However, a state leg-

islator from Dewey County has in
troduced a bill in the legislature
that would take Armstrong’s 330,-
000 acres and incorporate them in
his county.
Maybe he sees Armstrong as a
growing proposition. It’s gained 10
residents since the 1940 census.
Armstrong draws its name from
Moses K. Armstrong, a surveyor
who drove an ox team from Minne
sota to Dakota Territory in 1859.
He was a delegate to Congress from
the territory from 1871 to 1875 and
lectured throughout the nation on
the territory’s advantages.
Historians report that, while a
congressional delegate, Armstrong
wrote to Dr. H. F. Livingstone,
agent at Crow Creek and a-staunch
Republican: “Have I any Demo
cratic friends in Buffalo County?”
The mail that brought Arm
strong’s letter to the agency also
brought news of the hanging of
two outlaws at Bijou Hills. Liv
ingstone returned Armstrong’s let
ter with this note:
“There were two Demo'crdts' in'
Buffalo. Both were hung last
night.”

What a strange world! This’little boy sees
only g warped image when he views the.glpbe
'through ill-fitting glasses. His world is out of
focus. To correct this faulty-view, he must re
move the spectacles.
Many children today are getting a con
fused picture of life. Their spiritual vision is
impaired by human frailties. Their compan
ions and their environment are too often a bad
influence. The world about them is not always
a clear, lovely sight.
To strengthen their outlook,-children must
have the benefit of spiritual training. They must
be allowed to look upon a more beautiful way
of living—and then be encouraged to better
their activities and habits. It is the Church
which helps give them the clean, clear vision
oi a truly successful Christian life.
Bring the children of your family and your
community to church school and church—and
bring the world into proper focus for them.
THE CHURCH FOR ALL...
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest fenr-
I for on earth for the building of
character and good citizenship. It
is a storehouse of spiritual values.
Without a strong Church, neither
democracy nor civilization can
survive. There are four sound
reasons why every person should
aitejid services regularly and sup
port the Church. They are: fi)
For his own sake. (2) For his
children's sake. (3) For the sake
of his community and nation. (4)
For the sake of the Church itself,
■which needs his mc*al and ma
terial support. Plan to go to
churgh regularly and read your
Bible daily. _
