WASHINGTON. Feb. 1G.-Secret preparation for transarctic aerial ex- petitions are being made in Franee, Germany and 2aSsia, accor.!.ns to In- formation given navy department ,.ffi- cials today by Haakon H. Hammer. or ganizer in the United States for Ronald Amundsen, Norwegian explorer. who plans venture of his own this summer into the north polar regions.
 Explaining that he had just re- turned from Europe, Mir. Hanln,e.. sal he knew of the keeL interest aroused there when it was annourced' that the American navy was planning polar expedition.
 "The news that the Unlt4l States government has postponed the naval expedition he sad. will be welcomed everywher. in Europe"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-02-17

there has ever been. painstaking en. deasor to make 1t honest and faithful to the trust reposed in it.
 And yet, in Mir. Bright's words there has been no want of ample criticism. Criticism, good and bad, and different. Sometimes amusing, sometimes irrifat. ing, intelligent. truthful criticism, which is welcome, because it is helpful ig- norant but honest criticism, which is not objectionable. because an explana- ton is all that is necessary: malicious and untruthful criticism. which is not hurtful, because, in the words of the man who died the other day, the truth will prevail t-:.s.' Fs3t +s..S [
 Attacks have been freely aimed both at its form of organiza ton and it's method of operation. For instance, it is openly charged by an officer of the Ku Klux K1an that it Is controlled by Jewish influence Tor. that it is. pro- Fatican in the, tendency of it's news service. It can hardly be- necessary for me to say, that I am not Jew nor a Catholic. On both my fathers and mothers sides come from long line of Methodists.
 Prejudice Is Absent siss 7
 / While I trust every one connected with the organiza tion approves the first article in the bill of rights adopted by our forefa thers, assuring freedom of, worship in this country, and while in the past thirty years. at, least five directors have been elected every year---the board consisting of fifteen members---it happens that one Jewish gentleman, alone, is or ever has been member of the board And as to the Catholic utilization of members, in all the thirty years, l think it is true that there never have been. more than two members of the Catholic church on the board, at. anyt time, and not half dozen altogether. I am making this statement, not, because anybody that I knowAof. has ever undertaken to determine hiie religious beliefs of the members of the board, as d ground for judging their. qualifiea tions, Abut as an illustration of the false charges made against the institution. rtS ,.s
 .. As L have said many of the criti- cisms are born of, ignorance of the facts. For instance, a man reads something in newspaper and either oyerlooks the credit line, or it may be there is no credit line, and he assumes that 1t is an Associated Press tele- gram, and at once charges us with the responsibility for it. f
 It may also interest you to learn, that. by actual investigation, in the thirty years that have passed, although thousands of words have been sent out, daily, and although there are thirteen hundred daily newspapers pfinting its dispatches, the total cost of lawyers fees and all other payments, incidental to libel suits have been less than the cost, of the lead pencils used in the service. This must be some proof, that accuracy is earnestly sought. ,7rs '..
 '.'I do not pretend that the: Associa- ted Press is perfect. Absolute iner- rancys is impossible. The fraiitiAs of human nature attach to it's work as they do to others, but this much is certain, that it is not Intentionally nntrurhfiI1 "

DOCKERS' STkIhE
 ARRESTS PORT WORK OF NATION
Sheedy Rise In Neces- saries Of Life Certain .
 In England

LONDON, Feb. 16.-(By the Asso- ciated Press. )---A strike throwing 120,- COG well organized docsmen. which staH3ed automatically at noon today, will arrest the port work of the whole nation asld if it continues for any con siderable lime may also make idle an- other million oramore men concerned in auxiliary waterside work and GcEend- eitgtfades and industries,
 This Rockers walkout is likely to prove niucL more inconvenient to the public than the recent railway strike. in that any prolonged cessation. of work at the docks would prevent the unload ing forthcoming food and raw materials "a matter almost impossible for even the :mosr willing government to remedy.
 Tue minister of labor tried his hard est to prevent the strike materializing, but,F owing to the obduracy of the em- ployers, especially those connected with the port of London. without success.
 Macdonald Absent
 Premier Macdonald is spending the weekend in the country at Chequers to get, a much-needed rest but it is hoped that next week he may take some step in .an Sndeavor to find a way out of the difficulty.
 Having had ample notice of the strike the port authorities have been able to speed uP the unloading of ves- sels and make other arrangements to meet the situation, so there is not like ly to be any immediate shortage of food. But inevitably there will be heavy losses from perisbable goods should the strike last very long, and there is certain to be,a speedy rise in the necessaries of life.J. ..--.
 'Larders To Be Effected
 The first effects of the strike on housewives. larders probably will be felt through the stoppage of bacon, , eggs, butter and other dairy products. of which large quantities come from Scandinavian countries to New Castle where about 6,000 lockers are directly affected, >.
 At IS Scottish ports, 12,000 dock workers are idel. about 5000 of them being in Glasgow, where the unloading of 60 steamships has ceased.
 The collieries also are directly affected, as South Wales ports have about 10000 idle, thus affecting the delivery of pit props and other mine timber so that thousands of miners soon may be idle. >s E7
 At Liverpool the steamship Athena was able to clear for New York at , p. m., closely followed by the Messiah for the same port with full cargo
 The Canadian Pacific liner Metaga- ma, which is due to sail February 9, has been taken out of dock and anchor el in the Mersey as precaution against being held up.
 Another effect here is the closing down of cold storage warehouses, which are. among the largest in the world "nd contain many thousand tons of fsodstftHs
