ONE WORLD AND ANTARCTICA
Sir,-The first and last of Corwin’s Twelve Points are of special importance. One World is getting more remote, but there is still hope. The world appears like a child set too many impossible . tasks. An attitude of mind is being formed which later may break out in a neurosis. Antarctica, it seems to me, will be a future insoluble problem if direction is
not given now. I have read of several expeditions, national in character, to this potential storehouse, but have not read what is to happen when one country discovers, say, uranium ore in quantity. Where do the United Nations come in? Are they seeing to it that any resources found are for all the people of our earth? Should not the United Nations now be the directing power; should they not now have agreed about the form of international control of any found resources? Is it not the responsibility of the New Zealand Government to bring the future of Antarctica to the attention of the United Nations? But there is still hope. There may not be any resources,
E. C.
