POSTSCRIPTS 
SCAR (Special Committee on Antarctic Research) was 
officially organized as a permanent committee of ICSU at 
The Hague meeting noted above. The committee is in 
process of preparing a long-range program of Antarctic re- 
search which will be broader in coverage than IGY and in 
which it is expected all participants in the current IGY 
program will share. 
Shortly after the delivery of this address the United 
Kingdom stated a position favoring the solution of Antarc- 
tic claims on some kind of international basis. Premier 
Nash of New Zealand later announced his country’s con- 
currence with this position. Dr. Somov, Russian Antarctic 
leader, is quoted in a newspaper account as saying he did 
not see how the Antarctic situation could be resolved except 
on some kind of international basis.
