OVER THE TOP OF

the practicabiIty of usins the polar
 route five months in the year, from
 Efsy to September. inclusive. when air conditions b the North are ideal. Almost immediately will follow some diversion of e1psess, light freight and passenger serrieeeto the new route. That this is unavoidable
 will be seen from a glance at a map
 of the world. Existing travel lanes
 between Europe and the Orient are over 11,ooo miles in length. Across
 the pole the same Interval is near 5000 miles or less than half.
 Connect these figures with our ex- port trade last year. In 1922 we supplied the Orient with $4So,se8.-
 Aos worth of goods To North En- rope and Scandinavia we sent in round numbers a total passing &600,- o06.o0o. Compute the carriage charges on one billion dollars worth of freight and take half of it. That ngure-it runs into millions-is what Scandinavia will profit when the polar route shall enable them to
