...program of Antarctic research. In May 1958, President Eisenhower invited them all to Washington to discuss a continuing joint policy for Antarctica. This, he argued, "could have the additional advantage of preventing unnecessary and undesirable political rivalries in that continent, the uneconomic expenditure of funds to defend individual national inter ests, and the recurrent possibility of international misunderstanding.'' After an amicable seven-week conference, all twelve nations signed an Antarctic treaty, and last week the U.S. Senate ratified...
...this regional group proceeded to prove under Secretary General Lleras that it could work by handling minor disputes. The one thing that it never got was the intangible factor diplomats call "presence"-confident acceptance of the OAS by its members as the competent and natural body to handle big inter-American problems. Hindering such presence is the feeling that the OAS is dominated by the U.S. Lately, Cuba has added another handicap in the form of a deliberate anti-OAS campaign. Last month, calling the OAS Washington's "Ministry of Colonies," it tried, unsuccessfully, to take its dispute with...
Lamb Stew Years. The inter-American system that has produced the OAS was invented by Símon Bolivar, South America's George Washington. In 1826 hemisphere nations met with him in Panama to produce a treaty dealing with common defense, peaceful settlement of disputes and abolition of slave trading.

In 1910 the organization got its present Spanish-colonial-style headquarters in Washington and a permanent secretariat, the Pan American Union. It then began a three...
...shaped antenna. It was a major space-age breakthrough. After one earlier failure, the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration had successfully launched an Echo satellite, a huge, metal ized balloon capable of reflecting radio messages from earth. The U.S. thus opened the door to a new system of inter continental communications unaffected by either the curvature of the earth's surface or atmospheric disturbance...
Urging congressional support, Ike unwrapped two bold new programs of his own to "promote" free world stability. Both sound ideas, they had an unfortunate late-in-the-day, late-in-the-Administration sound about them. At the inter-American economic conference in Bogotá, Colombia next month, Eisenhower said, the U.S. would put forward a new $600 million loan program for Latin America. And to the U.N. General Assembly, he went on, the U.S. would soon present a new food-for-peace plan for using the agricultural abundance of the U.S. to "feed the hungry of the world," letting...
