FAVORS SUBMARINE

StefanssOn Thinks This Method Superior to Either

San Francisco. Apri! .9.-ln the way of modern methods of transportation as means of reaching the North Pole, the submarine comes first in the estimation ot Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the Arctic ex- plorer. Next comes the dirigible balloon, and finally the arplane.
 "The submarine appears 10 me to be perfectly practicable way. of reaching the pole as well as a comfortable way for one could carry all the necessary com fort" said Mir Stefansson on his recent visit here while discussing arctic eXplora- tions with friends "I seldom have seen a stretch of ice extending more than 50 niles without coming to open water Un- der the circumstances there never would be any difficulty in the matter of get ting to the surface Also the navigator would be assured of calm water when he came up in these ice-hemmed bits of water
 "The submarine already has been used for getting to ice-bound ports by pass ing under the ice. They may be pro vided with wheels so as to go along the channel bottom. A large submarine VIII only weigh about 500 pounds on the wheels when submerged in this manner. In con- structing an under-ice submarine the per iscope and much of the above-deck con struction would be done away with, ana in place of it would be a deck coming to a ridge similar to a roof which would cut through thin ice when coming to the surface. Ocean ice is mushy, and nave seen a whale come up through a thick ness of six or seven inches of ice.

SENATE DISCUSSES
LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Washington, June 3O.--The league
of nations covenant and the influences
at work to secure it's acceptance by
the United States furnished the We
hicle today for another long debate in
the Senate.
Renewing his charge that interna-
tonal bankers are sponsoring the
league for selfish purposes, Senator
Borah, Republican, of Idaho, charged
that Thocas w. Lamont, a partner in
the Morgan banking house, had pur-
chased the New York Evening Post as
part of propaganda to force Senate
acceptance Of the covenant. He
charged that the league to enforce
peace, headed by former President
Taft, also was controlled by the bank
erS.
Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, of Ne
braska, defending Mr.. Taft and his
organization, replied that not only
business men but organized labor, the
churches, the farmers and the people
generally were demanding ratification
OF the covenant. Every test of popu-
lar opinion that had been taken any
where, he said, had shown an over
whelming sentiment for the league.
The league covenant was defended
also by Senator Gerry, Democrat, of
Rhode Island, in a speech declaring it
the only hope Of Europe during re-
! construction, and was attacked by Sen
ator Fall, Republican, of New Mexi-
co, who declared he could not vote for
its ratification without violating his
| oath as Senator.
Many others were drawn into the de
bate, which occupied virtually the en-
tire days session.
