Science

Opening the Arctic region to com
mercial use is not impossible. A
great deal Of research work along that
line is being done by different scien,
tifc agencies and big business enter
prises.
Many wrong ideas about both the
Arctic and Antarctic regions prevail
Most persons have merely vague
idea that they are lands of intense
cold and ice all the year, and that
they are similar. Both these regions
have plant life. There are over four
hundred species Of Towering plants in
the north Polar region. There are
only two species in the south pole sec.
ton. This indicates the great diff.
ferences existing between the two
polar regions.
The mean temperature for the three
summer months--June, July and Au-
gust-in the northern region lis five
degrees above freezing, which Is not
an impossible climate At the south
pole for the same corresponding time
of year it is 20 degrees below freez-
ing.
Coal and oil may be the industries
that will lure capital to the north DO
lar regions, but the possibility Of
business reaching the south pole Is
very remote

FIGHT TAX
Demand Revision of Peace
Treaties and General
Disarmament.
Disarmament,
BY JOHN w. RAPBR


HE Labor party is second in
numbers in the House of Com
mons, with 1877 members of the
total membership of 615, not quite %
per cent. (The number was 1873 until
a few days ago when one member an
nounced his withdrawal from the
party)
| Twenty-nine of the members repre-
sent Scotch districts, eighteen are
from Welsh districts and 10 are from
English districts, most Of them locat
ed in the great industrial section that
includes Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester
Birmingham and Derby and Is general
| ly referred to as the Midlands.
There is a great difference in the
style of the labor declaration of prin
ciples and the style of the other three
parties. The program of the Union
lists was announced in a speech made
by Bonar Law, the prime minister who
retired recently on account of Ill health
while the National Liberal policy was
outlined in a speech made by Lloyd
George Both are in the style Of Re
publican and Democratic politicians in
the United States, Lloyd George S
speech especially being in the well
known blaa style of American poll
ticians.
The Independent Liberals, led by
Asquith. announced the party program
through a manifesto issued from party
headquarters instead OF through a
speech by the leader. More than two
thirds Of this manifesto Is devoted to
denouncing the administration of the
the government formed by Lloyd
George and the Conservatives.
Little Denunciation
Labors program. or. as we would
say in the United States. labor
platform, was announced through a
manifesto issued from party head
quarters. This manifesto makes only
slight reference TO the other parties or
the criticism of them, mentioning
them briefly in two places.
All of the rest of the manifesto is
constructive. 1t IS made up short,
terse paragraphs, twenty-five Of which
state definitely it's position on twenty
five different questions.
1t QemandS revision OF the peace
treaties as "the first step to peace.
1t demands reparations with Ger
many's capacity to pay; calls for an
all-inclusive League of Nations with
general disarmament as the goal; ad-
vocates real independence for Egypt
and self government for india
Deals With Taxes
The manifesto declares against in
direct taxation and opposes all i'm
posts. customs, excise or stamp du-
ties. 1t favors reopening trade with
foreign countries, the national or
ganization OF production and a large
program Of construction In public
works. Ii advocates a reduction OF
rents 20 help farmers and board

JAPS TAKE
!. @ u A K E AS
FATALISTS
Little Men Accept Disaster
to Nation as Act Of
Gods.
NEA Service Staff writer.


NT EW YORK, Sept. "A dingy
lin tramp steamer slid into dock at
- Staten Island. From her stern
foated the Rising Sun" emblem Of
Japan.
Her deck was noisy with the laugh
ter of little men
Look! How they laugh!'' said
some one on the dock vastly sur
prised.
''Japs are fatalists." another said
grimly They can laugh at earth
daakes and death"
But those laughing Japanese on the
rusty tramp knew nothing Of the
great calamity. They were happy be-
cause they had reached the turning
point Of a long voyage; soon they
would be sailing back home. to wives,
sweethearts and parents.
Noise Lessons Suddenly
Very suddenly the noise on deck
lessened. The laughter quieted and
died out. Then a stir among the
small men and deep silence.
Officers were gravely reading the
foreign newspapers with their queer
marks, headlines big and black, that
quarantine officers had Just brought
aboard
Now the wireless operator de-
tached himself from the group with
the newspapers. With slow steps he
made his way below, to emerge short
ly with slips of rice papers in his
hand paper covered with the picture
writing Of Japan.
Quiet groups of little men gathered
round. One. better educated than
the rest. monotonously intoned the
soft japanese syllables.
Not a face changed Not an eye
winked. No sign Of emotion was
printed on those set faces. Slowly
they moved away to take up their
duties
But there was no more laughter.
Happiness had vanished
This was the first Japanese ship to
reach New York since news came Of
the Japanese earthquake disaster
The entire crew Of the tramp
steamer, Mayo Maru claimed Yoke
hama and Toxic and the country in
between as home.
All lost? They don't know
Fates Unknown
Chief Officer S. Kameda wonders
what has become of the girl in Yoke
hama that he was to marry on his
return from this voyage. What has
been the fate Of the parents he babe
good-by In Toxic?
we can only wait and hope" he
For centuries our race has lived face
TO face with death. Always we knew
that the earth might shake and
bring disaster.
What has come Is but the will Of
the gods. 1t is fate and must be ac-
cepted.

MarvelS
BY BERTON BRALEY

By BERTON BRALEY
Ulysses roamed about the world
And saw, he said, lot Of 1t;
But all the tales that he unfurled
Concerned a. tiny spot of It.
Today when travels what we seek
We take a car and ride about
And cover more ground In week
Than Ulysses lied about.
Ulysses told convincingly
OF monsters. gods, and goddesses;
Yet wonders that we daily see
Would fill a dozen Oddysses.
The simple-minded Grecian folk,
With never thought Of censuring,
Believed each word Ulysses spoke
About his long adventuring.
Yet had he told Of radio
Which undulates through space
to us,
Or steam, or aeropianes-which grow
So quickly commonplace to US,
The Greeks would probably have
said
I'VE can't believe these airy tales
The old mans crazy in the head,
Or else he's telling fairy talesl"
In brief-a stranger world we view
And travel far and wide about
Than that which old Ulysses knew
Or claimed he knew, and lied
about!
