Grim, nevertheless Stalin is raising a hubbub among the international lawyers the world over; for what does the Soviet Government do but claim even the pack ice all the way to the North Pole! Ah, the bit in the teeth; the jump at the starting post in the race for the Arctic! For pack ice is good for radio stations and even landing fields. What a merry mess for the lawyers...
