KING GEORGE V. LAND

LARGE ANTARCTIC TRACT CLAIMED BY AUSTRALIA

"CANBERRA, Australia-By a bil recently passed by the House of Representatives, the Commonwealth Government assumes control over that part of the territory in the antarctic seas comprising all the islands add territories, other that Adelio Land. situated south of the 60th degree south latitude and lying between the 160th degree east long tude and the 45th degree east longi- tude, comprising what is known as the Australian sector of antarcticn.

When Sir Douglas Mawson, the Australian explorer. proclaimed British sovereignty over this sector, ha did so at two points, one of which he named Scullin Monolith and the other Cape Bruce. These two lonely outposts of the British Empire will perpetuate the names of two cen secutive Australian prime ministers." Adelie Land is a narrow triangle of Freach territory bisecting the Aus- tralian sector, which covers an area of something like" 3,000,000 square

miles.

The new Australian territory is yet unnamed but it is likely to be called King George V. Land, & name already applied to a portion of this area. The greater part of the sector was explored by Sir Douglas Maw. son in the Discovery in 1929.30 and in 1930-31. The Mawson expedition explored Enderby Land, Kemp Land, Queen Mary Land, and George V Laad and discovered and named new areas known now as Macrobertson Land and Princess Elizabeth Land.

On Feb. 7, 1993, a British Order- in- Council was issued affirming that King George possessed sovereign rights over the area and placing this territory under the control of Australia.

The area is of considerable eco- nomic value. In 1919, 1,869 whales were captured in these regions yield ing 47,237 barrels of oil. By 1931, this production had increased to 40,000 whales yielding 8,250,000 barrels. In 1930, 43 floating factories, 232 whale catchers and 10 transport Ivessele owned by 33 different com- panies mostly Norwegian, set sail for the antractic.

The Commonwealth Government will ratify the League of Nations whaling convention providing for in. ternational regulation of whaling in these arens to prevent the exter- mication of this valuable industry. Bird and seal life will also be pro- tected with the same object.

KING ALEXANDER MEETS STUDENTS

BELGRADE RECEPTION LEADS TO BETTER FEELING.

*BELGRADE, Yugoslavia Mod eration of anti-royalist feeling among students here is indicated by the recent reception.. by King Alexander in his palace of 500 members of the Belgrade "Students" Home." The King remained with the students for nearly an hour talking freely with them about miny subjects and entering into direct contact with them. He WLS enthusiastically checred by them.

A short time ago the university youth here were vehemently oppposed to the dictatorial regime and frequent- ly carried out dramatic public de monstrations against it, occasionally even crying out "Down with the King!" Indeed, the inmates of the "Students' Home" itself once took complete possession of the building and, defying the police for a day and night, protested against the Govern ment. Yet these students are practi- cally all scholarship boye and are subsidized by the Kinge' bounty, Now, however, they are outwardly more peaceable than at any time since the dictatorship was inaugurated.

MYSTERIOUS MEXICAN

RACE

A PUZZLE FOR ARCHAEOLOGISTS.

Mexico-Excavations in the heart of Mexico have disclosed an ancient structure like a Mayan temple, and have fired imaginations of students of that old, mysterious race.

Archaeologists were unwilling to-day to pronounce it definitely of Mayan origin, but nevertheless said it might be such and intimated that their pre sent theories might be upset regarding the tribe which inhabited the Yucatan Peninsula and Central America and disappeared mysteriously about the

fourteenth century.

The discovery was made in diggings near the Mexican National Cathedral, on the site of the great Aztec central Byramid, which was destroyed by the Spanish conquistadores, to provide material for the first church in the New World.

.

Origins of the Mayans and the reasons for their disappearance are as baffling as the temples they left for the jungles to reclaim in south-eastern Mexico, but it has been doubted whether they ever inhabited central Mexico.

Some months ago the Mexican Government began removing - cld buildings on the central plaza around which most of the recorded. history of Mexico is written, in an attempt to settle the 400-year-old question of what was below the Aztec pyramid.

A score of Mexican archaeologists have been studying the findings monuments, idols, pottery and avi- dences of great underground

DEBT PAYMENTS IN SILVER

Extension of Presi dent's Authority

QUESTION OF THE DECEMBER INSTALMENT

Washington, Aug. 16.-Senator Key. Fittman, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said to- day that a sufficient number of Con- gressmen had relented in their attitude toward foreign debtors to assure the acceptance of ailver in settlement of the December debt ins talments.

Immediately after his return from the World Economis Conference, Senator Pittman said he believed that Congress would refuse to grant

further favours to the debtors who had not paid their instalments, or to any of them, in fact,

A more recent aurrey made by the Senator, however, indicated that the authority of President Roosevelt to accept silver will be extended when Congress meets in January.

Although the debts become due on December 15, Benator Pittman said the Prendent could make a tentative arrangement with the debtors and, should they decide to pay in silver, Congress would undoubtedly approve. The delivery of the silver could be

taken at any time.

While Senator Pittman did not meri- tion it, it was learned to-day that some of the more ardent silver advocates believe that, if the President's autho rity is extended, it should be amended in the American market. so that the silver must be purchased
