...where it is not wanted or where local political conditions face it with unwarranted risks," Nixon said. "But my own strong belief is that properly motivated private enterprise has a vital role to play." Nixon plainly had in mind Bolivia's recent nationalization of the U.S.-owned Bolivian Gulf Oil Co. and Peru's seizure last year of the International Petroleum Co. -both so far without compensation. The President said nothing about the use of such punitive weapons as the Hickenlooper Amendment, which provides for suspension of aid in case of nationalization of U.S. property without speedy...
Last week the Canadian government bowed to pressure and banned the killing of month-old seal pups in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The new policy means that the killing will now be restricted to seals over a month old. After one month the pups reach the "beater" stage, when they turn from white to brown and, leaving their ice floes, "beat" their way north to the Arctic. Hunters may use guns or arrows but may no longer club seals of any age to death...

...wanted an immediate pullout. On the House side, a vague resolution in support of eventual disengagement drew 109 cosponsors. But liberal Republicans Donald Riegle Jr. of Michigan and Paul McCloskey Jr. of California produced something stronger: a proposal to repeal, effective at the end of 1970, the 1964 Tonkin Gulf resolution under which President Johnson proceeded to bomb North Viet Nam and build the U.S. troop level in South Viet Nam past the half-million mark. None of the flat antiwar resolutions have a chance of passing, but their sponsors obviously feel that the measures are what their constituents want...
...mainly to the superpowers, who alone have the resources to snoop along the sea floor. Then, too, the negotiators left unresolved some technical questions of geography. Will those Latin American countries that claim territorial waters up to 200 miles beyond their shores accept a twelve mile limit? Should the Gulf of Riga, the Sea of Okhotsk, the East Siberian Sea and parts of the Black and White Seas, all of which Moscow claims as its own waters, come under the treaty...
