Loftus, advisor to the Assistant Sec retary of State for Far Eastern, South Asian and African Affairs, told members of the Hertford Rotary and Lions Clubs here Tuesday night. Mr. Loftus was guest speaker at a joint meeting of the two civic clubs held at the Hacienda. Approximately 45 members and guests were on hand to hear the talk on the situation in Asia. Introduced by C. R. Holmes, Mr. Loftus told the group that the world is now divided into two forces; one side is composed of some 40 free gov- I ernments, including the United States 'while the other side, headed by Rus sia is made up of those nations in fluenced by Russia. "The Korean war has brought about a consolidation of these forces, and this state of affairs will continue for a long time," was the opinion given by Mr. Loftus. A movement for a third strong force in world affairs has been wiped out due to the Korean War and the etand taken over this situation by the free governments of the world. Continuing, Mr. Loftus stated that we can look for a continued struggle between the forces led by the United States and the one led by Russia. There, is no guess as to what Russia's next move will be, but it is necessary that the United States has the back ing of large masses of people such as in China and India as well as those in other countries of the world. "Tie peqple of Asia, living as they have in tiie past with Ut knowledge of - the world .oytsiaVtiteir own com munities, know very little, about the United States," Mr. Loftus said, "and since shaking off the administration of government from afar and winning independence themselves they are now inclined to care little about anything except their own advancement." The United States cannot carry the burden of total settlement of all prob lems in Asia, the official said, but some can be handled and we can count on other free governments to help work out a solution to many of the problems. Reporting that the standard of liv ing in India is about 1-20 of that en joyed by America, Mr. Loftus added that the United States cannot pull out of Asia because the free governments there are not firmly entrenched and sufficiently strong to provide the eco nomic development desired by the people and to do so would offer the opportunity for -growth of Commun ism which might be adopted by the people as the "next best way" to ob tain the goal. BPW dub P anning For National M Perquimans Business and Profes sional Women' Club is now formulat ing plans for the observance of Nat ional Business Women's Week, Oc tober 15 through 21.
