Sharp issue with a recent state-
ment by Charles A. Lindbergh mini-
mizing the utility-of Greenland-now
a United States protectorate-for
naval and air bases was made last
week by Prof. Emeritus William H.
Hobbs of the University, an inter-
nationally recognized authority on
that northerly island.
A geologist and the leader of three
expeditions to Greenland, Professor
Hobbs rebuked the famous aviator,
recalling that under his leadership
"an excellent landing field" had been
constructed in "west Greenland which
might have been, and now could be.
made miles in length and at least a
half mile in width with a perfect level
floor of hard clay."
Lindbergh, who has made a Green-
land flight for Pan American Airways,
had asserted that "Greenland's to-
pography and climate made the island
unusable as an air or naval spring-
board for an invasion of North Ameri-
ca from Europe," and, "flying condi-
tions in Greenland would be among
the most difficult in the world and
that naval operations would be handi-
apped because of ice."
Hobbs Scores Lindbergh
Hobbs took issue with the flier on
all points, and said that "if Lind-
bergh were better informed'and were
interested to promote rather than
obstruct the defense of this hemi-
sphere, he could have told the coun-
try what experience has shown, that
the climate of Greenland is on the
whole not unfavorable for flying, and
that the topography in some sec-
tions of the coast land (fortunately
in the strategic ones) is well adapt-
ed for both naval and air bases."
On the basis of his geological train-
ing and.actual experience in Alaska,
Professor Hobbs stated his refuta-
tion of Lindbergh's position thus:
"In the year 1930-31 seaplanes of
the British expedition to east Green-
land flew over wide areas of the coast
and also the inland ice throughout
every month of the year and without
a single major accident. For years
the Danish government has with suc-4
cess employed seaplanes for mapping3
the coastland of this great island ex-
tending well into the hinterland, both
on the west and in the remote north-
east.
"This certainly could not have been
done if flying conditions were so un-
favorable as is asserted by Colonel,
Lindbergh.
Suitable Areas Available
"There are moreover a number of
areas suitable for landing fields for
planes with wheel undercarriages andI
in 1929 I myself prepared an ex-i
cellent field of this type. Anne Lind-i
bergh's book shows) that Lindberghl
flew over this very field and so must
have seen it.
"As regards the climate of Green-
land it is almost without fog---20
foggy days a year within the most
strategic area-and though the storm
winds are both frequent and fierce,
they clear the winter snow off the
landing fields.
"The handicap' of ice in reaching
Greenland applies especially to the
-ast coast (which Lindbergh has seen)
out within the strategic area of south
Greenland 'the ports remain open
throughout the year.
Germans Established Stations
"The Colonel tells us that Green-
land is 'unusable as a springboard for
in invasion of North America from
Europe,' yet the Germans in 1929-30
nd 1930-31' established stations in
Greenland and subsequently a 'film-
ing' expedition there, under one of
1-Iitler's friends, carefully looked up
the best landing fields and saw to it
that the Danes at once carried out
weather observations on each of these
fields for several years."
As reported in an editorial of the
Chicago Daily News entitled, "Hobbs
vs. Lindbergh," the majority of both
interventionists and isolationists are
"delighted with the Greenland acqui-
sition as a protectorate." Hobbs.
himself, conceives of Greenland as
a 1*-lfway point "to the British Isles
within American waters," from which
"both planes and destroyers based on
south Greenland can play a large
role in running down German raiders
of all types, and from which cargoess
bound for Britain can proceed."
