World Boundaries Shifted In 1946
Jap Upheaval, Treaties With Axis Satellites Produce New Changes For Mapmakers
Washington. Peace treaties were drafted, kings were ousted and recalled, old empire ties were loosened, and new independent governments set up—these and other events in 1946 brought change and transition to world maps, National Geographic society researchers reported today
In Europe, agreements were reached on peace treaties for Italy, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and Finland. Several boundary revisions were involved. Austrian and German discussions were put off until 1947.
Transfers to United Nations trusteeship were approved for eight former League-of-Nations mandates—the Australian land-herritory in New Guinea, New Zealand's in Western Samoa, the four African mandates of Togoland and Cameroons which are divided between France and Great Britain, the British-controlled area of Tanganyika, and Belgium's Ruanda Urundi.
Along the "powder-keg border" between Italy and Yugoslavia, draft-treaty terms awarded Yugoslavia most of the Istrian Peninsula, with the former Italian city of Trieste to be made a "Free Territory" under United Nations' authority.
Italy also loses to France small sections along its Alpine frontier, and to Greece, the Dodecanese Islands of the eastern Mediterranean. The Italians, however, are to keep the South Tyrol area, claimed by Austria, while final decision on their African colonies has been postponed to next year.
Hungary gives up to Czechoslovakia a bit of border land around Bratislava, and in the northeast loses to Romania the long-contested region of Transylvania, a temporary gift from the Axis to Hungary in 1940.
Romania, in turn, leaves with Bulgaria the South Dobruja area along the lower Danube, and confirms its independence. So Sofia is of fettle, Bassarabia, and Bucayina.
To the Russians also go Finland's Far North territory and ice-free port of Petsamo, as well as a 50-year lease on Porkkala Udd Peninsula for a Soviet naval base on the Gulf of Finland.
In the juggling of royalty, Europe saw the abdication of Victor Emmanuel of Italy, followed by the establishment of an Italian republic. King George II of Greece returned to his throne. But Bulgaria, Albania, and Hungary voted to replace their former monarchies by republics.
On the other side of the world, Japan—reduced to its home islands—experienced a government upheaval. Under direction of the supreme commander for Allied powers, the Japanese emperor was shorn of power and the nation's constitution revised along Western lines. In a general election, among other innovations, women voted for the first time.
To Pacific islands and Asiatic countries liberated from the Japanese, the year brought other big changes.
The long-scheduled independence
of the Philippines was celebrated on July 4.
Colonial rule over the rich, tropical islands of the Netherlands Indies was changed by recognition, in fact, of the Indonesian Republic of Java, Madoera, and Sumatra, and the signing of preliminary agreements looking forward to an interim United States of Indonesia, to be linked witt the Netherlands Kingdom.
In the British imperial sphere, the vast sub-continent of India was offered full independence by Great Britain, although conflicting Hindu and Moslem groups failed to reach accord on a united government. Burma later was offered freedom on the same terms.
A smaller historical note was the British annexation, as a crown colony, of the long-family-ruled "White Rajah" state of Sarawak on the northwest coast of Borneo. Northern Borneo also changed status within the country as the last of the royal chartered companies to that of a British crown colony.
In the Middle East, the British mandatory regime made way for a new sovereign Arab state, Trans-Jordan, whose ruling prince was promoted to regal rank.
In neighboring French Indochina, amid sporadic uprisings, the native republics of Viet Nam and Cochin China were recognized within the French union and federation, with varying degrees of increased self-rule projected for other states.
Along the western border of the country, Siam returned to France the Indochina areas of Cambodia and Laos which, under Japanese pressure, the Vichy government had transferred to Siam in 1941.
Deep inside southwest Asia, another small but potentially important frontier was affected by an agreement under which Afghanistan gave up all claim to the Kushka district of the Turkmen Soviet Republic in return for certain river rights and border adjustments.
House-Building Peak Expected In 1948
Chicago. (UP)—Year after next is the soonest this nation can hope to surpass previous records in the production of housing, according to the United States Savings and Loan League.
The league's committee on trends and economic policies reported on a survey which, it said, indicated that approximately 950,000 new dwellings will be constructed in 1948, which will be more than the 937,000 units put up by the industry during the peak year of 1925.
The committee further suggested that beginning with 1949, the building industry in the U.S. can produce a million new homes.
Professors See Triple At Wichita U.
Seeing triple is nothing new at the University of Wichita, where the 29-year-old Batt boys, from left to right Ted, Joe, and Lee, are at school. Ted is majoring in aeronautics, Lee is studying dramatics, and Joe is taking premedic work. Home of the three navy veterans is Augusta.
Buyer Resistance Hits Retailers
New York. (UP)—Benjamin H. Namm, president of the National Retail Dry Goods Association, predicted today that "faircant, indiscriminate" consumer buying probably will end in 1947 and warned that inferior goods will meet increasing resistance by the public.
He urged retailers to renew their cautious buying practices discarded during the war if they are to avoid "a glut of unsalable merchandise and serious inventory losses for both retailers and manufacturers, such as precipitated the 1921 crash."
While a retailer who restores his buying and selling policies to a "sound, common sense basis" in 1947 "may well sacrifice some of his potential sales and profits," such action "will be a small price to pay for insurance against disastrous inventory losses and a damaging setback to the country's business," according to Namm, chariman of the Namm Store, Brooklyn, N.Y.
"If retailers as a whole follow sound buying policies during the coming year," he continued, "their influence can be felt throughout our entire economy. They can play a major role in preventing a repetition of a boom and bust such as followed the last war."
40-Year Occupation Of Germany Seen
Brigadier Treadwell divided the aims of occupation into three classes—demilitarization, denazification and democratization. The last, he believes, will give the Allies their acid test.
Pittsburgh. UP)—An allied occupation of Germany which may last as long as 40 years is foreseen by Brigadier J. W.F. Treadwell, director-general of public relations in the British zone.
The veteran of 20 years service with the Scottish Guards made the prediction during a visit here on leave with his American-born wife.
The present generation cannot grasp democracy, Treadwell said, and it may have to be taught to succeed generations in schools. He suggestion, therefore, that the those children "grow into power."
Grant's Pass, Ore. (UP)—H. W. Baker helped to relieve the housing shortage by selling his home, and remodeling a large hay barn on his property for himself.
