Show detail Hide detail

The LONGINES CHRONOSCOPE, a television journal of the important issues of the hour, presents an interview with Sir Hubert Wilkins, famous arctic explorer, journalist and consultant on arctic affairs. The interviewers are: Larry Laseur, CBC Television News Staff and Kenneth Crawford, National Affairs editor of Newsweek Magazine. The panel and guest are introduced by Frank Knight.~Sir Hubert Wilkins is questioned by the panel and his observations and remarks are of particular interest, since the question of NATO, SETO and United States defense policy is discussed. "Is it possible for man to live and do battle in the Arctic wastelands"--"can man navigate under ice in nuclear submarines". Sir Hubert gives detailed explanations on how armies coud be transported under ice packs, how they could be serviced and maintained and how the vast Arctic achipelago could be utilized defensively by United States forces. Climate, clothing, equipment and possible procedures are discussed and Sir Hubert expresses the hope he may someday head a scientific expedition to the Arctic for the purposes of better studying the feasibility of living under the ice. Short promo on Longines' role in exploration and providing unsurpassed timekeeping since 1866. <14mn 24s>
