Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Friday, October 28, 1960 INTERPRETING CADET SLOUCH f < riifliiiii by Jim Earle US Said Favoring Atomic Power Pool By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst The United States is now re ported to favor an Allied pool of atomic power in the North At lantic Treaty Organization in the hope of persuading France not to press development of her own nuclear striking force on the out side. France, on the other hand, is determined to go ahead with a national force even if the Polaris force should be integrated into NATO. The United States fears this will produce division in NATO and nuclear arms race among its members. There is also the impact on the spirit of Western European Un ion itself, under which West Ger man rearmament is integrated in to NATO under controls, includ ing a commitment not to produce nuclear weapons. A strong display of national ism, such as France’s is bound to be felt in a structure which was designed primarily to submerge such. France, on the other hand, in sists that the nuclear force would merely put her in the same posi tion, with regard to the alliance, which Britain and the United States already occupy. She in sists on an equal voice on wheth er nuclear weapons would be used in an emergency, and how. She points out that Britain and U. S. reservation of the right to sup ply and command NATO’s nu clear deterrent in effect leaves two national forces just a$ France’s would be a third. A week ago the United States said reports that she had agreed to make NATO a nuclear power were not true or at least pre mature. Since then the French General Assembly has approved the plan of French President Charles de Gaulle and President Eisenhower is reported considering a trip to Paris during the NATO meeting in December in support of an American poll offer. France, in the last week, like wise has denied that her policy is in any way based on fear that the United States might event- ualy withdraw from Europe. : J ~***^.., “ ... that’s what I call rough yell practice!” Job Interviews THE BATTALION Opinions expressed in The Battalion are those of the stu- lent writers only.

(Editor’s note: This begins a series of articles on South Am erican countries writtes by stu dents on the campus represent ing their respective lands. The preliminary article on Co lombia was written by two stu dents from that country, Alvaro Restrepo and Rafael Chagin. Res- trepo is a freshman this year, and Chagin will graduate in 1962. The series has been encouraged by the Pan American Club, where students from all over South Am- merica have united for social ac tivities and services to the col lege. It is intended that each South American country be repre sented in the series.) By ALVARO RESTREPO and RAFAEL CHAGIN Colombia, the nearest South American country to the United States is an exciting vacationland located on the northernmost part of South America, east of the Panama Canal and west of the oil-rich country of Venezuela. The country is essentially agri cultural: it has plenty of beauti ful qnd soil-rich valleys, abun dant water and a great variety of climates. The livestock industry is grow ing rapidly and it has been esti mated the 66.2 million acres are devoted to this purpose. Coffee is the main agricultural product but the exploding increase in pop ulation and the decline in coffee prices have made the people to start relying on diversified type of agriculture. A great number of facilities are given by the government to im prove agriculture in every way. Each day, the Stockman’s Nation al Bank in Bogota and through out the country assist many farm and ranchers who need cap ital to sow grain, to reap a har vest or to buy cattle. There is plenty of uncultivated land, and this is most important part of all; you can get land without money; all you can fence. The government will allow you homestead land on the condition that you add improvements each year for twenty years. The only difficulty for Colom bians is that they lack the know how or technical knowledge in all phases of agriculture. The ex panding demand for consumer goods is slightly met because of primitive methods .of production' in agriculture. On the other hand, faces of the economy such as FRIDAY “BATTLE CRY” with Van Heflin Plus “SAYONARA” with Marlon Brando FRIDAY NIGHT LATE SHOW “CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON” and “TARANTULA” SATURDAY “GIRL IN LOVERS’ LANE” “THE WILD RIDE” “THE BOY AND THE PIRATES” “PLATINUM HIGH SCHOOL” SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY “THE LOST WORLD” with Michael Rennie Plus “THE SIGN OF ZORRO” with Guy Williams petroleum, chemials, textiles, fer tilizers, mining, forestry and con struction works encounter the same situation. The total population of Colom bia is 14 million, of what about 59 percent is of mixed European and Indian stock. 20 per cent pure European, 5 per cent pure negro and 2 per cent pure Indian. Colombia has had a long and honored tradition of democratic liberalism smeared a few years ago by a dictatorship which last ed only three years. Under the democratic adminis tration of President Alberto Lleras the country is enjoying a relatively high level of prosper ity.
