explorer of renown, expressed the view OF
all his British colleagues when he said,
after paper had been read by Peary be-
fore the Royal Geographical Society in Lon

shown and with the help of those Esklmos'
who seem to be his very children, there may
be a possibility of success. No one VII be
more glad of it than those who have been

Peary's Plans.
At this meeting of the Royal Geographi-
cal Society, Peary gave what was probably
his briefest and best summary of what he
hopes to do. His words on that occasion
have never been published, except in the
official proceedings of the society. He
said:
My plan of campaign requires but a
few words 1t contemplates the utilization
of the utmost efforts and fullest resources

tions of the world. have been trying for 1t
for nearly four centuries, and have not got
it vet, and because to win 1t will be the
crown OF those four centuries of effort and
sacrifice and splendid heroism."
Naturally an audience of British arctic
explorers could hardly indorse Peary's third
proposition; but they cheered him until
they were hoarse. Grave scientists and
gray-headed admirals were so worked up
by his enthusiasm that they behaved like
schoolboys.
A Question of Money.
Although hundreds of expeditions have
tried to reach the north and south poles
and have always failed, arctic and antarc-
tic explorers, with few exceptions, believe
that the poles can be reached. They say
that the whole question is one of money,
assuming, of course. that the leader of the
expedition is a well qualified and expert
enced man. like Peary or gallant Captain
Sverdrup of the Fran.
Napsen only obtained S125,G00. mostly
from the Norwegian government, with
which to build the Fran and equip her for
the drifting expedition which landed him
farthest north" When Captain Sverdrup
took the Fran on her second polar expedi-
tion-1S9S- 1902-he only asked his govern
ment for 1925, which was granted. Axel
Heiberg and the Ringues brothers, patriotic
Norwegians, put up the rest of the money,
some $40, 600 or 1000. With this compare
lively small sum, Sverdrup carried out one
of the most successful arctic expeditions in
recent years
Peary has said, in effect. Give me $780,
COO, and l will reach the pole" Nansen de-
clared that there was>a certainty of reach
ing the pole If the leader of an expedition
could have unlimited funds at his COM
mand Other arctic explorers have said the
same thing.
There has probably not been a polar ex-
petition in which the leader has had every
thing that he wanted; he has always been

best equipment he could afford, not with the
best that money could buy. And because
of his lack of funds, he has usually been
obliged to make what is termed "a dash for
the pole" instead of advancing, by a series
of expeditions and relief expeditions, from
one base to another and leaving depots of
stores and provisions all along his route.
