Uncle Harry what can you tell US
about China and the Washington
Conferencel" asked Helen.
'I'm glad you have brought up
this question because China is one
OF the big world problems OF the
day" replied Uncle Harry. The
meeting at Washington is generally
referred to as the Conference on
Disarmament, and the Far East, but
we would not be far wrong II we
substituted for the phrase the Far
East the one word. China. There
are, Of course, other phases Of the
Far East, but the big question con-
Germs China"
Some time ago. you told us about
the two separate governments in
China" said Joe rs il this that
makes the Chinese problem that
confroqts the Conference2"
Many Complications.
This is one part OF the Chinese
problem" said Uncle Harry. Both
the Northern Government. with
headquarters in Peking. and the
Southern Government, with head
quarters at Canton. have represen-
tatives in Washington. but the
Peking Government is the only one
that is officially recognized by the
governments that are holding the
Conference. At the same time, the
Canton Government claims to rep
resent a big proportion Of the Chi
nese people. and its spokesmen say
that unless its delegates are also rec
ognized by the Conference, the Gov
ernment Of Southern China cannot
recognize any decisions reached by
the Conference.
China, as you know. is vast
country, possessing enormous wealth
In natural resources. The Chinese
nation is one of the oldest Of nations
and In spite Of all the attacks that
have been made on Il. and in spite
Of the fact that it is always supposed
TO be behind the times in everything
1t has managed TO hold together as
a nation for thousands Of years.
Practically all Of the nations OF
the world have been trying for years
either to obtain rights TO the devel-
opment Of certain OF China's natura
resources, or to secure Chinese
trade. At various times, the leading
ports OF China have been seized by
foreign powers. For almost a hun.
dred years. Great Britain has con.
trolled and virtually owned Hong

She only lived little ways from the

cry. But her mother said she was
only doing II for her good. Alice
went IN the back yard and sat on u
etooi and she said am going to the
woods any how. She went out in the
woods and it got late and dark. ALICE
lost her path and went tho wrong
way. After sho found out she had
lost her way, she sat down and cried.
That night when her brother came
homo from work, her mother told him
10 go out and look for her. He went
out with lad and found Alice asleep
on tho ground. He brought her home.
Her mother gave her some supper and
told her never to go away again

iscd that she would never go away
again. Now, dear children. of T. d.

say one thing. They were sorry they
went over to the Jones. ms they could
have ate all the ice cream they
wanted IL they had stayed home. and
after they went over to the Jonescs
they did not get any: so no one should
