PROPERTY RIGHTS ENVOLvEO

At the north pole the question of
territorial ownerhsip, SO far as it
is raised at all. is purely academic,
for at that end of the earth a
motive for the continuous occupa-
ton (which must follow discovery
to establish possession is hardly
conceivable. much less known. No
body will ever want to ay where,
as Peary made certain-it had
long been held more than highly
probable there is nothing that
anybody wants. but merely sea
covered by storm swept ice. At
the south pole. however, conditions
are entirely different, says the New
York Times. ...
The antarctic continent is indeed
a dreary land. with a climate
somewhat worse than any in which
men have ever attempted to set up
permanent habitations; but, bad as
it is, living there would be easily
possible, and it would take nothing
more than the finding of gold
among those desolate mountains to
hurry a rush of eager treasure
seekers to them. That the gold is
there is far from improbable. The
antartic mountain range is an
evident continuation of the Andes,
and scattered along every known
part of that great chain of vol
canoes are deposits of the precious
metals. fhe presence of gold in
Terra del Fuego warrants the ex.
pectation that it exists on the other
side of what is. after all, rather
a strait than an~ocean.
Life would be hard in the
interior of the antarctic continent,
but it is the most notable of mans
superiorities that he can conquer
any climate, and what few men
have endured for short periods for
little more than glory of having
gone where none had been before
other men would gladly risk for
months or years if inspired by the
hope of setting. rich IN what is
perhaps the most attractive of all
ways. Amupdsen's story of his
journey, so far as it has been tolj,
reveals only by Implication that
hardships were suffered. They
we're doubtless such as only travel
ers with something of the re-
markabIe strength and endurance
of him and his companions could
face with any approach to safety,
but the facilities IF supp y and the
mean of shelter could be improved
until they we're not much inferior
to those of the Yukon country.
That not long ago was consider
ed nc less worthless than the ant
arctic continent is now, but with
the discovery CT gold there came
the knowledge derived from hard
experience that low temperatures
and nights six months long are not
insurperable obstacles to the found
ing of cities or to the equipping Of
them with most of the comforts
and many of the luxuries char
acteristic of urban life in lower
ATTITUDES. And where value is
there will ownership be surely.
