sTEFANssoN TELLS OF
CONDITIONS IN NORTHLAND

Winnipeg, Oct. 21.-lt IS deplOr-
able and ridiculous what the schools
of Canada teach Canadian children
about the northlands Of the Doml-
nion," declared Vilhjalmur Stefans-
son, the noted explorer, while in
Winnipeg, lit amounts to most de-
famatory propaganda he added.
People generally display a lament
able ignorance concerning this coun-
try and it is simply due to the fact
that they are wrongly instructed
when they are children, according to
Stefansson. He pointed out that the
opinions of adults are hard to change
when they have an idea firmly root
ed in their minds, and explains that
the north country is very different
to what people believe.
There are $40 different species CT
Towering plants, and roughly three
times as many species OF towering
plants as Towering plants in the
Arctic country, according to Mr..
Steiansson, and he described some of
the conditions responsible for what,
to the people of Canada. seems anon
alous because of the climatic cOndi-
tions there. ~,
In the north, he explained, there
are two seasons similar to the seasons
Of the settled part of Canada.

not grow here fn the winter time the
grass cannot grow in the country
around and north of the Arctic cir

these plants grow as far north Is

added Mr.. StefanssCn.
Speaking of the development. of the
northland, Mr.. SteranssOn predicted
that it would be developed in the
same way as other countries. He ex-
planned that there are rich resources
up there, and when asked if the eli
mate would act as a deterrent, re-
piled, "a land is measured by its
productivity and not by its climate
and if land is productive it will be
developed irrespective of its eli

SEVERAL REASONS
 FOR LIKING U. s. A.
Chilean Finds That American People Are Big, Broad and Fair
 Minded.

Santiago, Chile, Jan. 7-"Why I am Yankophile" is the subject of an arti- cle contributed to Ultimas Noticias by a Chilean who has visited the United States. Some of the reasons he gives for liking the United States are:
 Because when d person falls down nobody laughs.
 When in the street a person steps on another's toes. they do not insult each other.
 The shopkeepers can leave their de- liveries on the doorstep.
 People keep in line at ticket offices and have respect for each others place in the line.
 Everybody takes d bath.
 People have only one surname. There is profound respect for the police. The public fear the police and not the police the public.
 The people know how to walk in the streets, always passing to the right, and they do not stop to talk. There is only first class on rail- road trains and special cars for smok- CTS.
 Drunkards in that country are an extinct species. The name doesn't make the man but the man the name. II is a sign of i'll breeding not to re l spect the opinions of others. CThere 1 are 200 religions in that countryD Youths of s are in the universities i and not in the stock exchange or sa- looms. Democracy co-exists with the gov 1 ernment.
