threatened to raise the issue. The
fact that il did not como up justifies
the diplomatic reticenee in Washing
ton in the view Of informed officials.
The Canadian claim is q blanket
declaration Of sovereignty over all
lands which may exist within the
triangle formed By the northern ex-
plored Canadian arctic regions and
the projection to the north pole Of
the eastern and western longitudinal
boundaries Of Canada. Presumably.
il would include claim to fractional
section Of the pole itself, shaped like
a piece Of pie.
Much Unknown Territory
There is a lot Of unknown territory
within that triangle, hut neither the
Byrd expedition nor any other OF
those Of particular interest in the
United States Is planning to map 1t.
Cape Morris Jessup, Byrd's sched-
uled hop-off for the pole, lies to the
east and the land thich he and 9TH
err arctic explorers believe he will
find. is due north Of the cape, out
side the zone covered by Canada's
blanket claim.
Even the Canadians apparently feel
that simple visual discovery OF new
lands furnishes only q slender and
dcbatable claim Of ownership. There
arc vast and almost uninhabitcd

say the celebrated red jacketed
