...spur exports, 37 major heavy-industry companies formed the Japan Technical Cooperation Co., dispatched technical experts to India and Indonesia to explore markets for power and oil equipment, signed technical cooperation contracts with Viet Nam and the Burmese Defense Department. Some industrial exporters, however, feel that if nationalist-minded Southeast Asian countries restrict Japanese trade, or if Western European and Soviet competition gets too tough, Japan would turn to Red China to keep its exports rolling. Already Japanese businessmen are clamoring to exchange ships, trucks, bulldozers, locomotives, generators and other machinery with Red China for iron ore and coal...

...Indonesia's President Sukarno there was evidently a chill in the air. "I come from ... a warm climate where it is not so cold as it is here," he told Soviet bigwigs, "but . . . your smiles have warmed me." The little President of the big and uncommitted republic of Southeast Asia flashed a friendly grin as he skipped through the Distinguished Visitors Routine (TIME, Sept. 17), but the grin was full of ambiguity. At a mass meeting in Moscow, sandwiched between effusive compliments, was a message that must have sounded strange to propaganda-conditioned Russian ears. "Part of mankind doesn...

Some 10,000 years ago, when glaciers chilled northern Europe, the Sahara desert was a fertile, well-watered land. Among the most favored parts of it must have been the Tassili-N-Ajjer, a plateau about 900 miles southeast of Algiers. Today the region is one of the driest deserts on earth and almost uninhabited, but in prehistoric and early historic times it boiled with vigorous life. Last week French Anthropologist Henri Lhote was back in Algiers with proof of what Tassili-N-Ajjer (which means river plateau) was like while the rains still came...

...trappers. Then, with little fanfare, Campbell Chibougamau Mines Ltd. in 1952 sewed up a U.S. Government contract for its output, the next year started to sink a shaft. Last year it went into production, hauling concentrates laboriously by truck to the railroad at St. Felicien, 125 miles to the southeast.

Last week, bearded, bushed and suffering from a monumental thirst, he pulled into Tokyo. In his journeying, he was ten years, $35,000 and 30,000 miles from Montreal. He had driven his clumsy craft across the Atlantic Ocean, Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, parts of the Indian Ocean, the South China Sea and the East China Sea. Between him and his goal there are now only 3,100 relatively calm miles of the north Pacific and a 6,000-mile overland trip across Alaska, Canada and the U.S. If his luck holds, he is sure to become...
