iOtro Punto Focal de Ia Guerra Frla?

Aunque a los neozelandeses no les preocupa
que los norteamericanos esten ahf, q~uisieran. sin
embargo, que ell t~erritorio permaneciera libre
mientras no Sc llegue a un acuerdo sobre las
reclamaciones territoriales.
Ell problema de las reclamaciones territoriales
en- Ell Antartico, 10 ~present6 ante la Asamblea Ge-
neral de las Naciones Unidas la delegation de la
India, pero la Asamblea decide no discutirlo sino
hasta despu6s del Ano G~eofisico. Por 10 tanto
volvera a aplazarlo, en- ell case de que Sc prorrogue
ell Ano Geofisico, pero no cabe duda de que
tarde o temprano volvera a ser colocado en- el
temario de la Asamblea.
Australia es ell pals que reclama mayor can
tidad de ~territorio en- Ell Antartico despues de
Noruega, Gran Bretana y Nueva Zelandia.
Ell ~territorio que reclama la Argentina cubre
por complete ell que reclama Gran Bretaha. Chile
y Francia, reclaman tambien diferentes ~sectores
del continente. Estados Unidos nj reconoce min
guna reclamation nj reclama territories para ST.
LO unico que hace es reservarse los derechos
que puedan correspondents por sus actividades
y exploraciones en- Ell continente.
Algunas n~aciones que reclaman algdn sector
quisieran que Estados Unidos hiciera 10 mismo,
porque segdn elias seria ash mas facil llegar a
un acuerdo para repartirse ell continente.
otro ~problema que debe resolverse es Ell re-
ferente a los derechos de pesca en- las aguas
antarticas. Este asunto es muy interesante por-
que en- elias abundan las ballenas.
Suceda 10 que sucediere con las reclamaciones
de otros paises ell gobierno australiano y ell neo'
zelandes consideran esencial que la Union Sovie-
tica no Sc quede establecida en- la Antartida
Aunque completamente desolado, Ell continente
tiene I'm gran valor estrategico para Australia y
Nueva Zelandia, paises que quedarfan amenazados
81 los ~sovieticos tuvieran bases permanentes en-
Ell. Esa es precisamente la causa de que los fun
cionarios australianos cream que la Union Sovetica
no abandonara facilmente las posiciones que ha
ocupsdo en- ell septimo continente.
Diario las Américas., 1958-02-16

Los funcionarios del gobierno australiano
temen que la Antartida Sc c~onvierta en- otro punto
focal de la guerra fra.
I'm momento dificil Sc producira cuando ter
mine Ell Ano Geofisico international 81 Russia Sc
MEGA, como Green muchos, q abandonar las bases
que ha establecido en- ell t~erritorio que Australis
considera suyo. Los rusos tienen cuatro bases
del Ano Geofisico en- la TERRA de Wilkes, que
esta situada en- ell norte del Continente Antartico.
Entire esas bases las mas importantes son la
gigantesca "Mirny', en- la cual viven 100 perso-
mas y ell oasis 'Bostok Pionerskaya". La base del
Oasis es estrategicamente importante, porque Sc
encuentra en- una region Iibre de hielos, formada
por lagos azules rodeados por pardas montanas
desnudas. Ninguna de las cuatro bases esta a mas
de 1000 Kilometres de la costa meridional de
Australia. Las cuatro Sc hallan en- ell sector del
Antartico que Australia reclama para 81.
Los funcionarios australianos mostraron auten-
tea satisfaction cuando Sc informo que ell comite
c~ientifico, director del Ano Geofisico, habia deci-
dido prorrogar ell Aho Geofisico renunciando a la
idea de ponerle fin este aho, que era 10 que Sc
habia decidido al principle. Los funcionarios ma
nifestaron, sin embargo, que la idea de prorrogar
las investigaciones del Ano GeofSico es mas bien
gubernamental que ~cientifica y necesita por 10
tanto que la r~atifiquen los g~obiernos interesados.
Anadieron que Australia Sc complace en- prorro-
gar ell Ano Geofisico aunque solo sea porque asf
Sc aplaza ell ~conflicto, al parecer inevitable, con
la Union Sovietica por causa de las bases. Los
paises que reclaman alguna parte del continente
acordaron una ~"tregua' por tanto tempo cuanto
duren las investigaciones del Ano Geofisico.
Aqui Sc cree que aplazar ell choque con Russia
es convenience porque la atm6Sfera para una So
luci6n arm6nica sera seguramente mas favorable
dentro de dos amos que ahora.
Ell gobierno neozelandes teme, por su parte,
chocar con Estados Unidos porque csc pals ha esta-
blecido bases, como la de Bahia de McMurdo, que
estan situadas en- Ell sector que reclama Nueva
Zelandia.

bezaba Imre Macy.

Nasser> Prox,mo k.onarca Absolute
WILBUR G. LANDREY

Cuando Canal Abdel Nasser sea proclamado
Presidente de la nueva Repiblica Arabe Unida,
de Egipto y Siria, Sc convertira en- uno de los
monarcas mas obsolutos del mundo, aunque SUI
poder sera completamente legal.
Nasser ha dicho que ell nuevo Estsdo sera
una "Republica Democratica". Pero en- su calidad
de Presidente, Ell nombrara no solo a los MEM
consoles Executives Juno para Egipto y otro para
Siria (sino tambien a todos los miembros de la
nueva Asamblea Nacional.
Nj siquiera en- Russia hay hombre alguno que
tenga la facultad legal de nombrar a todos los
miembros de una Camara Legislative.
Solo ell tempo dira, desde luego, los efectos
que este poder absolute producira en- la ~practica.
En- un plebiscito que Sc celebrara este mes,
los dos paises aprobaran la fusion. Ell Yemen esta
discutiendo la posibilidad de unirse a la nueva
Republica y Ell Presidente de Siria, Shukri Ell
Kuwalty, invite al Libano a hacer 10 mismo "ya

que los comunistas Sc apoderaran de Siria. ESQ

concedido a Nasser, ell politico que pusc fueFa
de la ley al Partido Communists en- Eglpto.
AL principle, solo los ministerios de Relacio-
mes Exteriores y Defensa Sc fusionaran total
mente.
Los autores de la union esperan que los otros
ministerios Sc vayan fusionando uno a uno. AL
mismo tempo los actuales consoles Executives
Sc convertiran en- organismos locales administra'
tivos.
Todavia es un misterio como Sc produJo tan
rapidamente la decision de unir a los dos paises.
La causa decisiva, segun los diplomaticos, fue un
Gambia de punto de vista en- Ell %ejercito sirio.
Ell mayor general Aft Bizri, Jefe del Estado
Mayor sirio, de quien Sc crefa que era partidario
de los sovieticos, fue a Ell Cairo en- avion, repen-
tinamente, ell mes pasado con ~oficiales de otras
facciones del ejercito, segun dicen los diploma
ticos. Dejaron una nota al gobierno sirio lnfor'
mandole que iban a Egipto a laborar por la
unidad.
Ell Gabinete sirio celebr6 largas sesiones.
Cuatro dias mas tarde ell Ministro de Relaciones
Exteriores, Salah AL Bitar, miembro del Partido
Socialista Bath, que estaba desde hacia mucho
tempo en- favor de la union con Egipto, fue tam
bien en- avi6n Ell Cairo para luchar por la unidad
Immediate y complete.
Dejando las razones del ejercito aparte, parece
ser que los partidos sirios temfan Ell poder STEM
pre- en- aumento de los comunistas. Segun algunos,
llegaron a convencerse de que solo Nasser podia
~contener a los comunistas.
