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-

most political thought in his
mind.
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.

(Editor’s note: The “article”
mentioned in the letter refers to
an editorial in the Houston Press,
Tuesday, Nov. 15, titled “Don’t

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.

4TH IN A SERIES
Guatemala Known As
‘Coun try ofEterna l Spring ’
no “Aggie lover.” The Cougars
are still the best, but I just hate
to see such an injustice.
(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.
