greenland bars big business men native eskimos protected by isolation policy can you imagine a country without railways hotels restaurants cinemas employers or employed a country vi here tourists and commercial travel ers are regarded as nuisances and not allowed to set foot on shore where policemen and criminals ire equally unknown and tettuce and parsley grown in cucumber frames are the only agricultural crops there is such a untry and a party of british explorers are leaving for ii shortly it is greenland and the object of the british expedition is to examine the possibilities of an arctic air route between this country and canada the arctic route is the shortest pos sible and it has certain other advan tages as well the longest stretch if sea flying goini by the faroe island wont be more thin about 300 mile and there are ttatura emergency landing grounds over a great part of the proposed airway- the most awk ward part of the journey will be that over greenland winter on the ice cap this is so beeau e of the fact tint the centre of greenland consists of a great ice plateau 8000 feet above se i level at its highest part and 500 miles across really greenland and ice land ought to chai ge names its greenland that specializes in ice while iceland can boast of green and smil ing fields can an airport be established on this ice plateau and can planes fly across it it involves a big climb for a loaded plane and weather condi tions above the ice may prove too treacherous for safet these are some the questions that the expedition will have to answer and in order to do so they are to spend next winter on the ice cap their base will be on the highest part of the plateau and from it parties ill gi out with dog sledges to make a thor ough survey of the icy mountains of the hymn this will take quite a long time for the average speed of a dog sledge is only about five miles an hour explorers are welcome in view of tin fact that visitors aiv unwelcome in greenland ships arent allowed to call at the ports unless in cases of emergency or with special permissioi for a strictly limited per iod how is the expedition going to fare may it find itself in difficulties with the authorities perhaps not he permitted to land explorers and scientists come into their own in greenland in more civil ized countries they prefer business men but here where the door is banged and barred against the busi ness man scientists and explorers are welcomed with open arms and given every possible help so the expedition will meet with no difficulties from greenlands author ities nor are the latter likely to ob ject to the air route if it proves practicable the greenland airport will have to be on the ice cap away from the inhabited parts of the cuntry in which there are no suitable ianiing- places safeguarding the eskimos the air route therefore would not interfere in anj way with he present closed door policy in greenland a policy by the way which shouldnt be unthinkingly condemned as unenlight ened the country is under danish rule and the object of the restrictions is to safeguard the eskimos who are the original inhabitants- if free access u the country were allowed their modes of life would be altered at present they live in the traditional way by means of fishing and hunting such an alteration might easily re sult in the extinction of the esikmos for instance certain european dis eases such as measles are often fatal when eskimos contract them so there are good reasons for the isolation system in other parts of the world where a different policy has been pur sued the eskimos are diminishing in numbers in greenland they are in creasing answers statue is erected for pet marjorie a statue has just been erected to a little girl who died
