Indonesia Is Gaining In Fight For
Survival As Young, PopuIous Nation

Washington IndoneSia, weight
ed down by economic dislocation
and political dissension, is gradu
ally getting grip on some of its
most urgent problems, particularly
education.
Sixth most populous among the
worlds nations and one of the
youngest (less than six years old,
the Far East republic is relying
heavily on spirit of cooperation
at the village level in its struggle
for survival.
This is how Beverly M. Bowie of
the National Geographic Magazine
staff sizes up the situation In the
current issue His findings stem
from a journey of more than 10000
miles among the 1900 islands and
100000 people of the archipela-
go.
His article is pointed up by To-
color, 34-by-29-inch wall map of
southeast Asia that goes out with
the magazine to the National Geo
graphic Society's 2,150,000 men,
Der families.
Many of the postwar upheavals
that have altered the face of the
Orient are reflected on the map
which includes, besides Indonesia,
parts of Communist China, coveted
Formosa, the independent Philip
pines, embattled Indochina and the
Malay peninsula. The eclipse of
Western colonialism is spelled out
in changed place names: Batavia,
capital of the Netherlands Indies,
has now become Djakarta, Indo-
nesia's metropolis of 2,500,000 in
habitants.
Other names have gone native
Only in the Philippines does the
West seem to have scored a point:
Pambujan Sur has been renamed
General Macarthur.
AS the revised names suggest,
southeast Asia is trying to mold
the future according to its own de-
sires. SO far there is a wide gulf
between the possibilities and actual
achievements.
What potentialities the future
holds can be seen in Sumatra. It's
raw materials are of untold value:
coal, oil, rubber, tea, coffee, to-
bacco, water power and plenty of
fertile land. But there is also dire
shortage of foreign exchange and
pitifully few technicians.
AS for Indonesia as a whole, its
standard of living is little above
prewar levels. Japanese occupation,
internal strife, disintegration of
authority all took their toll.
In east Java alone so percent

attack a year. Nearly 21a million
suffer from tuberculosis and 600,-
900 are blind. There is one doctor
for every $1,000 people.
The shortage of trained person
mel runs throughout the economy
lawyers, engineers, agronomists,
teachers, plumbers, electricians.
But there is a bright spot. Mr..
Bowie writes that perhaps the
most important fact about Indo-
nesia is that it wants so desperate
ly to learn" It has cut its litter

from $4,000 in 1910 to $4,000 to-
day, its high schools from 144, to
200 and its student body from 2
million to more than 8 million.
Not the least of it's education
problems turned around the multi
plicity of languages. The republic
had to create a common tongue
based on Malay to replace some 40
languages, including Dutch and the
overly simple but popular market

His death left his country
struggling with a government
crisis resulting from the resig-
nation last month of Premier
Matrika P. Koirala.
Deposed Briefly in 1850
Long an advocate of more
democratic government for his
land of 9 million hillmen, King
Tribhuvana was deposed briefly
in 1850 by the Ranas, hereditary
premiers who since 1846 had
been the actual rulers of the
state sandwiched between India
and Tibet.
King Tribhuvana took refuge
in the Indian embassy in Kat
mandu, the Nepalese capital,
while his three -year-old grand
son was placed on the throne.
Later he was permitted to fly
to New Delhi for medical treat
ment. While in the Indian cap
ital he aligned himself with de-
mands by Indian officials and
rebellious Nepalese elements for
improved rule in his homeland
India's Prime Minister Nehru
later proposed that he be al
lowed to return to the throne
and that constitutional reforms
be carried out. This touched
off a popular movement at home
and early in 1851 the Nepalese
parliament agreed to King Trib-
huvana's return and relegated
the RanaS to the background.

E.C.H. Rowland Wrote Words
To Mile. From Armentjeres'

nearly half century as movie
manager.
Mr.. Rowland had been a Brit
ish army infantryman who
fought at Mons in World War I.
One day in March, 1915, Mr..
Rowland and some cronies were
sitting in a little winery in Ar
mentieres. Mr.. Rowland was
doodling on a menu trying to
think up some catchy lyrics for
a troop show.
A chic little 18-year-old
French waitress caught his eye.
Inspiration came and he dashed
off the famous verses beginning
"Mademoiselle from Armen-
there's, parley voo?"
Mr.. Rowland rushed the verses
to his friend, 1t. Gitz Rice of the
Canadian army, a composer who
produced the music that same
day.
The number was a terrific hit
at the troop show and soon
dozens of other verses, most of
them unprintable, were being
improvised in camps and bar
racks rooms.
Members of the American
Expeditionary Force heard the
song in Paris and made it their
own. OF all songs at American
Legion conventions between the
two wars it was the most endur-
ing. But in Britain it was seldom
heard. Here "Tipperary" was
preferred.
Mr.. Rowland said it didn't
matter that he made no money
out of the song. Il wrote it to
cheer up the troops and I was
glad it gave them so much
pleasure" he said.
