Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Thursday, November 17, 1960 INTERPRETING French Seeking Bigger Voice By J.jM. ROBERTS dissociated Press News Analyst Some people in Washington think that if the United States will provide the North Atlantic defense force with nuclear weapons, France can be persuaded to drop her plans for national striking force of her own. But the French decision to establish her _ own force was not a militatry decision. It is a politi cal One. French leaders think they de serve a bigger voice than they are getting in NATO and other Allied affairs. President Charles de Gaulle is extremely jealous of France’s national standing in the world. A nuclear striking force for NATO could completely satisfy his ideas about France’s defense, even thought it might always be under the command of an Ameri can, without touching this upper- Social Calendar The following clubs will meet on campus tonight: The South Louisiana Hometown Club will meet at 7:30 p.m. in Room 227 of the Academic Build ing.

A separate French striking force ,is not opposed for itself by the United States. The opposition is to any new national forces as they are likely to incite creation of more and more. French ex perts say the Swedes are likely to be next after them. There have been reports that Japan is almost ready, and there is much specula tion about Red . China. And the more members there are in the Atom Club, the more complicated becomes the prospect of ever ar riving at controls or abolition. The nuclear striking force for NATO is expected to be one of the key topics at next month’s conference in Paris, although it can be discussed on a tentative basis only pending installation of the new administration in Wash ington. . I think they’re carrying this daylight CQ too far!” Sound Off (Editor’s note: The “article” mentioned in the letter refers to an editorial in the Houston Press, Tuesday, Nov. 15, titled “Don’t Hinder the Aggies—Let Reveille Run Free.’ The text of the edi torial appears on page 1.) Editor, ‘ The Battalion: I have just finished reading an article in the Houston Press about the rule passed by the Southwest Conference hindering the per formance of “Reveille” at Aggie football games. I would like for you to look into the legality of an athletic conference passing such a ruling. This could be another angle to aid you in your fight. Our mascot, “Shasta,” is pro hibited by a similar rule, but the rule wasn’t made by an athletic conference. A&M,; being an old institution, • has many fine traditions—fight to keep them. If you attended a young institution such as I do, and had to fight to help establish traditions, you would know its value even more. So fight ’em for everything you’re worth. E. J.

(Editor’s note: Fourth in the series or articles on South Ameri can countries, this was written by Edwin Smith and Jose 'Cohen.) By EDWIN SMITH and JOSE COHEN Guatemala, “the country of eternal spring,” is the first coun try at the north of the five na tions that constitute Central America, the link between North and South America. The countries which border Guatemala are Mexico on the northwest and El Salvador and Honduras on the southeast. The topography of the country is mainly mountainous with a large plateau on the southern part. It has a long and broad coastline that is between the Cordillera of Los Andes and the Pacific Ocean. On the northern part there is a great fertile valley created and supported by the Motagua River, the longest river in Central America and one of the few which is navigable. The main export of Guatemala is coffee—internationally known in the coffee world market for its quality. The sugar cane production has been increased to the extent that the United States has consented to a reciprocal trade agreement with Guatemala for this new and productive export. As a tourist attraction, Guate mala is well known for its ruins, which belonged to one of the true leading ancient civilizations of America—the Mayas-Quiche. The most famous tourist at tractions are two big lakes at different altitudes, which, by a freak of nature, are connected by an underground river which levels their water levels as does a siphon. These two lakes have no seen inlets or outlets of water thus it is imagined that an under ground river supplies one, and at the same time serves as an outlet for the other- The lake at the highest altitude is named Atittan, meaning “surrounded by moun tains,” and the other lake is named Amatittan, meaning “place of sacrifices.” The best typical hotel in Guate mala for tourists is the Sanjuyu, (place of kings) Hotel. It is situ ated on the shoreline of Lake Atittan, and is nationally known for its colonial style. The capital city of Guatemala is the largest and most populated in Central America. It is sur rounded by mountains and is the only one of its kind in America. In December of this year, for the facilities of American tour ists, a non-stop jet air flight will be inaugurated from Houston and New Orleans to La Aurora, air port situated on the outskirts of Guatemala City. The Guatemalan airport of La Aurora will be the first airport available to jet air craft in Central America. Guatemala as a country has different traditions, customs, and mode of living which indicate a quest for originality which con trasts with the rest of the coun tries in America. It is a country proud of being friendly and independent nation and respected as such by the rest of the world.
