U. S USE OF ARCTIC OCEAN
YEARS BEHIND RUSSIANS
By LOUIS R. HUBER
COLLEGE, Alaska.—Soviet Russia
is years ahead ot America in mak
ing use of the Arctic Ocean as a
shipping route, as well as in de
veloping industry in Arctic latit
udes.
That Is the gist of a study made
public at the University of Alaska
here recently 'by Dr. Terence Arm
strong, natural scientist of the
Scott Polar Research Institute at
Cambridge, England.
A recognized world authority on
the Soviet Arctic, Dr. Armstrong
is author of the book, "The North
ern Sea Route: Soviet Exploration
of the Northwest Passage."
Russian success in sending cargo
ships along the coast of northern
Siberia regularly is "undeniably a
great achievement, and one which
contrasts sharply with correspond
ing development in the western
hemisphere,” he said.
This raises the question, he In
dicated, of whether the United
States and Canada may not he
passing up development of a re
gion whose economic value and
communications channels may one
day be sorely needed.
Although the Northwest Passage
along Canada's island-studded nor
thern coast was discovered in the
middle of the nineteenth century,
little attempt has ever been made
to send commercial vessels along
this route, or to establish indus
tries other than the whaling of
50 years ago in its vicinity.
Last summer, however, HMCS
Labrador, Canada’s newest and fin
est patrol ship, of 7,000 tons, cros
sed from the Atlantic to the Pac
ific Ocean along this route; and
two United States icebreakers—
the Navy’s Burton Island and the
Coast Guard’s Northwind—explor
ed the western reaches of this
historic passage.
Nothing very definite is known
about mineral deposits; however,
uranium already 1b being mined in
Northwestern Canada and the U.S.
Navy has found oil in Northern
Alaska.
Obstacles to be overcome in de
veloping the American Arctic and
in making regular use of the North
west Passage are on the same
order as those the Russians have
overcome—except that Siberia has
more large rivers emptying into
the Arctic Ocean.
“The Siberian waters are ice
bound and impassable at least sev
en months of the year—in some
parts for eight, nine or ten. In
the remainder there is plenty of
ice about, and this in turn causes
fog which tend to be most frequent
in the months when there is least
ice,” said Dr. Armstrong.
A large number of Russian sea
vices—icebreakers, meteorological
stations, hydrographic operations
and a large staff of natural scien
tists—undoubtedly were used in
the Siberian effort, he said.
Strict secrecy is enforced, how
ever, on all Russian activities in
the Arctic—economic as well as
military. '
Something is known about, the
timber traffic arross the Kara §ea,
however, because foreign vessels
are permitted to follow this route
in carrying these Soviet exports
to world lumber markets.
Foreign vessels first call at
Murmansk, the eastern-Arctic port
to which so many American freight
convoys sailed during World War
Two.
Russian officials board th e s e
ships, seal up all cameras, and ac
company the vessels across the
Kara Sea to the mouth of the Yen
esei River. This artery is then
followed for 400 miles to the south
to obtain the timber.
The Yenesei River valley was
opened to world trade briefly, in
cidently, just before World War
I by a company organized In Eng
land and in the Scandinavian coun
tries by Jonas Lied, a Norwegian.
That war, and seizing of power
in Russia by the Communists, put
a stop to the venture. It lasted
long enough to reveal, however,
that the Yenesei and other Siber
ian river valleys contain a wealth
of resources.
The same kind of resources may
lie across the Arctic Ocean in this
hemisphere, Dr. Armstrong believ
es; and, besides, there may be
valuable shipping econ o m 1 e s
through use of the Northwest Pas
sage: It would shorten the dis
tance from Europe to the Far East
considerably.
In Victoria, British Columbia,
the Canadian port at which HMCS
Labrador ended her Atlantic-Pac
ific voyage, Capt. Owen Robert
son predicted that within a few
years freighters will be making
regular trips through the North
west Passage.
The use of radar and helicopters
removes the uncertainty that dog
ged navigators of an earlier day,
he explained.
At one time his vessel proceeded
in dense fog at 15 knots, although
1300 icebergs were visible on the
radar screen. At qther times, he
said, helicopters scouted the
course through the ice, and then
“sat down” on ice floes while
waiting for the Labrador to catch
up with them.
If these services were available
to vessels during the "open” sea
son it would make the Northwest
Passage well worth using. Captain
Robertson said.
