Himalayan Battlefield An interested reader has written in, inquiring about the India-China border war, and why news coverage is so poor on it. First of all, it is not because either the U.S. government, the wire services, or even the Indian or Chinese authorities are keeping correspondents quiet — there just don’t happen to be'any in the area! United Press International (UPI), which feeds us our wire news at this newspaper, has its Eastern or Oriental headquarters in Tokyo, Japan. They have other offices.in Taipei, Manila, and Hong Kong. But India is a huge subcontinent. Transportation into the very mountainous area involved is almost nonexistent — ;_ a narrow dirt road, passable only to jeeps or mules, enters the area. Radio communications are the only connections with the outside world. This almost inaccessable mountain region “mothers” the Indus river and several others — but no one has ever been able to trace it to its source, at least up until the date of our Encyclopaedia Britannica. The country is that rugged. There are mountain passes through the huge chain, 1,500 miles long, with its 29,000-foot peaks, but these passes themselves are at 14,000 and 15,000 feet —higher than most of the mountains in the U.S.! The region is sparsely populated, and mainly by very primitive peoples. It is not normally an area where newsmen would be assigned. So there just aren’t any there. Winter is starting, snow’s are now common, and all of the passes will be closed for the winter. When talking about this as the India-China border, you must remember that the parts of “China” bordering on India are Singkiang and Tibet —two very primitive, almost roadless areas of barren, dry steppes. Why didn’t the U.S. leap to the defense of India ? Because w’e have no defense treaty with India. We told them publicly several times that we would be happy to help them, but we cannot “invade” them to do so! Until they asked for help, our hands were tied. Their minister of defense flew to this country, and mapped out plans with the pentagon and Congress, and will now receive aid. - . China has to drive far enough inland before the winter snows block the and their supply lines to get a self-supporting area. Then, no doubt, they will yell and scream for a truce until spring. p India must remain firm and drive them out. More tomorrow on India, and background on the situation.
