ANTARCTIC LAND
RIGHT IN QUESTION
Reply to British Inquiry as
to Byrd Not Decided by
State Department.
8y the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The State Department has before 1t
the question whether it shall reply to
q British communication several months
old which, while giving Comdr. Byrd
permission to use British claimed ter
ritory in the Antarctic, sets forth that
Great Britain had sovereignty over GER
tain lands In that area.
There has been no decision as to the
necessity OF reply by the American
Government and there are no tndica-
tons that any early action was con-
templated.
The announcement last February
that COmdr. Byrd had discovered some
new lands In the Antarctic brought out
the fact that international law lays
down the precept that discoveries Zach
as made by Byrd and his predecessors
Of American, British. Norwegian and
other nationality In the Antarctic es-
tablish q claim for the nation in whose
name the discovery Is made but do not
constitute q permanent right to the
land discovered. How far the discov-
cry of an unsettled land gives a right
to 1t, one international authority says,
Is a question which neither the law
nor the usages Of nations has yet
definitely settled.
The British government heretofore
has taken the position that q discovery
made by private individual In the
prosecution of q private enterprise gives
no right.
Unofiicially 1t was said here at the
time Of the announcement of Comdr.
Byrd's discovery that II the question
Of validity as to the claim to the land
for the United States should arise It
probably would be settled by an inter-
national arbitration commission.

The four-time American amateur
king and three-time open cham
pion brought his practice week to

beating par by five strokes and his
own course record by three shots.
In subduing the widely bally-
hooed terrors Of this famous course.
with its chasms and cliffs. its bunk

ocean, Jones shot one of the great
est rounds OF his career. Nothing
particular was at stake beyond the
battle between the worlds greatest
golfers and the formidable layout

ready weakened its endurance, per-
haps, by scoring that figure three
days ago. Yesterday he landed the
