Washington Calling
By MARQUIS Childs

REYKJAVIK, Iceland-If proof
were needed that the world is
bound together beyond any posi-
bility of isolation, it is this once
lonely island that seemed to lie so
far off the beaten track.
1t is not lonely now. Big planes
come and go, along what is the
shortest route to Europe. The
Americans have built big bases
here. They have set up radio
ranges and all the complex aids to
speed safety in the air.
For nearly 100 years, Icelanders
had lived their own separate and
secluded lives. They were proud of
their insularity. The ties they had
were with Europe rather than with
America.
Then came the Nazi thrust for
world power. Iceland was an i'm
portant spot on the Nazi map of
aggression. They had begun the
process of propaganda and infil-
tration which was to have been
followed by seizure of the island.
The Americans and the British
moved first. Their invasion was
hardly more welcome to the Ice
landers than the Nazis would have
been. Like most of the rest of us,
the Icelanders were still living in
the pre-air age when distance
seemed to guarantee security. Re-
laticns were strained, to put it
mildly, at the beginning of the
American occupation. Unpleasant
incidents marked the shattering of
their ancient self-sufficiency. Re-
Gently there has been a decided i'm
provement in the relations between
the two peoples, but it is not yet
by any means perfect.
On both sides there is strain.
For American soldiers stationed
here, the place seems bleak and
lonely. Fog and wind and rain
sweep over the rocky fields. The
capital of Reykjayik offers little in
the way of entertainment. and that
is particularly true for enlisted
men.
What is more important, it's hard
to realize you're part of the war,
and vital part, when you never
see it or hear it. There was danger
here for time. But it has long
since passed, and now this SPOT
seems like backwater.
Because OF transportation diff
cultles' 1t IS hard to live up to the
rotation policy under which trans
ters are made after specific term
OF service on the island. AS a re-

suit, many men have been here for
what seems like a never-ending
time. This makes for big morale
problem.
Talking with Jon Arnason, one
of Iceland's civic and political lead
ers, you're made strongly aware
of how abrupt have been the
changes in our world. A man in his
sixties, Arnason remembers when
it was four-day journey from his
home in Skagafjordur to Reykja-
vik. The automobile cut that trip
to ten hours. In the same length
of time today, you can fly to New
York or London.
Arnason has never been in Amer
lea, although nearly every year for
thirty years he visited Europe in
connection with development of the
cooperatives, of which he is leader,
or on government business. He is
also chairman of the Icelandic ma.
tional bank and his signature ap.
pears on all Icelandic currency,
which is one reason American fly.
ers like to get his name on their
shortsnorter bills.
Just as this island with its $780,.
900 people will never again be iso-
lated physically from the outside
! world, so, too, ideas and ideologies
from the outside today are current
here. Some of the younger genera
ton succumbed to NaZi propagan-
da. In scorn they greeted the in
vading Americans with the Nazi
salute.
But it is to little avail" he told
me. They always come back with
the answer: God is God,' and the
discussion is closed
In his grave, sloW-spoken way,
Arnason shakes his head little
sadly over such unreasonableness
He takes the view that Iceland
must now draw much closer to
America and learn the virtues of
the American system. Today there
are 200 Icelandic students going to
school in colleges in the United
States. If it were not for the war,
Of course, they would be studying
in Europe.
So Iceland, with its pride in its
ancient democratic tradition, is be-
ing drawn into the world stream,
as are all other places that once
were remote and distant.

themselves do the same at times. Certainly,
they can not call this a victory and list it
as an accompli shment for themselves.
