ANTARCTICA

On December Hth, 1911. Ronald Amunsden erected a cairn at the site of the South Pole. on whlc-i they flew the Norwegian flag.- gust a month-before Robert F. Scott. a Eritisher. and his party of four men reached the spot. Scott and his four companions perished in the attempt.

What were they looking for. these men who gave their lives? Antarctica had guarded its secret well. What mineral wealth lies locked beneath its vast ice-fields and two-to-three high niouiitains” What promise of human habitation Is offered by its long-hidden ice- free "oasis"? Can heat be harness- ed from Mt, Erebiis. its 12.200 foot volcano. or from uranium? How do polar winds and ocean currents; affect the world's weather? This' summer when summer comes to Antarctica. a U. S. Navy ice- lireaker will steam toward its shores in round one of the most ambitious assaults yet planned on the riddles posed by that southern-' most continent. Major expeditioni units will follow to build a chainl of weather stations from frozeny waters east of Palmer Peninsulal to the South Pole.

Since the early 1770s,

England's Captain Cook circled tnel

ice-barricaded continent without sighting it. men of many nations have probed its secrets. Admiral Richard E. Bird followed Amund-i sen and Scott to the South Pole, flying over it November 29. I929, lluing one of two expeditions sponsored by the National Geog- .-aphic Society.

, They are trying to increase food production by improved methods of farming. and by the use of modern machinery. gRice and po- tatoes are being grown in greater quantities than formerlry.

The population is increasing each year so that there are more people to feed each year. so that the job of producing enough food for a good diet for all the people is an extremely difficult one.

Nehru's foreign policy seems to waver back and forth from time to time. He refused to join SEATO which the United States sponsored last fall. on the grounds that it is the type of military alliance which is more likely to lead to war than to prevent it. at the same time he has accepted millions of dollars

.in economic aid that the United

States has given. ,.

Now what is India's policy? It is still too early to know the ex. fect of Nehru's visit to Communist China. It appears. however. that he came away with mixed feelings. He now seems to agree that the Communist Chinese are too un. compromising and unyielding in their thinking and he turned down a request that India enter into an anti-United 'States peace pdct. He pointed out that India -is de- termined to follow a tneutral' pol- icy in the cold war between corn. munist and non-communist na- tions.

promises work were discussed at the Peiping conference. Winning India as an ally would be a great victory for the Chinese Commu- nists.

Nehru's visit fo Peiping may have opened the Indian leader's eyes to the dangers of communism. In that event. Nehru may decrease Indian co-operation with the com- munists. At any rate, what India does will he of considerable im- portance to the free world.

India's position is important he- rause of its huge population. more than 350 million. In 1917 she, won her independence from Britain and lis now governed as a democratic republic. and thus holds a position of great importance in Asia.

By remaining independent and working against communism, the lndiiln people can be a big force (for the cause of Asian democracy. Should India turn to communism. she could use her political influ- .cnce and an army of about 400,- 000 men to work against demo- cracy.

Thus. India is in a position in- iweaken or strengthen freedom in Asia. At present. she considers

her foregn policy to be (neutral'.l

but it is felt that she has favored the communist cause on a number of occasions.

India. it set-ms. had tried to be friendly to both sides. avoiding lmilltary alliances with either the Western allies or communist Rus- sia and hcir allies. Not all In- dians agree with Prime Minister Nehru in this. many would like to see their country allied with

niat.

Nehru's reasons for this are:

1. India is an impoverished na- tion and needs a long period of genes in which to build up agri- culture and to establish fac- torlas.

2. She cannot therefore, afford to become involved in the political- mllltary struggles of other na- tions.

:1. India would lose some of her independence arul be forced to obey the wmiu of bigger and wealthier nations lf aha became allies with them.

Within his own country Nehru)iaI fought strongly against commun- lsm. Economically, progress is be-

Ing made slowly under a five-year

improvement plan that is now three

years old. and Min for the pro- run is being provided by the nine ltates. about 00 million
