At this moment Lord eciI who sits

said he would like to withdraw his
statement, but the American dele
gate insisted upon continuing his re-
marks, saying, You can reply later
Mr.. Porter showed by figures that
the consumption of opium in the
United States was approximately the
same as in most European countries
and he regretted that a reflection on
the Government and people of the
United States should have been re-
peated in a place some people hoped
to see become the parliament of the
world.

Turning his attention to Delegate
Loudon of Holland. who spoke yes
terday on the situation in the Philip
pines, Mr.. Porter said the United
States would never be entirely sue
cessful in eradicating the opium evil
there until the disease was struck
at the source. He said opium smok-
ing was just as rampant in the
Philippines when the United States
took over the islands as in the col

now defending the practice, but that

it must stop, and 1t had.

Milwaukee the first person to greet
us was Lieut.. Clayton Bissell. who
had acted as advance officer for US
along the Alaskan coast. Bissell
was the first friend from home
whom we had met previously on
the flight. and you can't imagine
what a pleasure It was to encoun-
ter him away up there at the end
of a ford in this lonely. out OF the
way corner Of the world.
"Bissell had constructed a run
way on the beach, so we pulled the
planes right up out of the way of
the floating ice and tied them down
Then we Jumped into a launch and
went out to the cruiser. The entire
crew was on deck. and they made
the ford ring with their cheers as
we came on board.
Realizing that we had only one
more long water jump ahead Of US.
We decided that we had better elimi-
nate as much risk as possible by
changing engines again. During
the days we spent here at Ivigtut
it rained most Of the time. but we
worked out in the open and paid
no attention TO the weather. even
though we were soaked through.
whenever the wind died down
the air would be filled with billions
of little flies and gnats, They were
the most troublesome gnats you
ever ssw-even worse than the In
sects we had encountered in the
tropics. They few into u eyes
up our noses. buzzed in and out of
our ears, and we had TO talk with
u lips tight shut 10 keep them
from swarming into mouths. In
fact. they were so bad that We
finally couldn't work until we got
some netting, draped II over our
heads, and tied it tight around our
nucks. II seemed very odd 10 find
all these insects away up here in
the arctic. The Danes told US that
they were always troubled with
them during the short Greenland
summer.
But even lodging iceberes, work
nE in the rain. and being halt de
vuured by Greenland gnats bothered
us very little now. The one thought
uppermost In our minds the
thought that crowded out all others
was that It would now require
only one more long hop the
sea to land us hack on the mainland
Of North America So we were
eagerly looking forward 10 our
flight across 10 Labrador

which they hurl with amazing accur-
scy. They both fish and hunt with
them. The spears have wooden
shafts, 10 which bone tips are tied on
with thongs. The Eskimo are just as
clever at manipulating their tiny
boats, made with curved bones
stretched with skin. as they are
with their spears. But II a white
man gets into a kyak 1t capsizes in
the twinkllng Of an eye. while the
Eskimo can handle It in a most mi.
raculous fashion. The native fastens
himself in. ties a skin around his
waist to make the kyak waterproof,
and then the boat seems TO become
a part Of him. The Eskimo can roll
upside down and go through all sorts
OF evolutions in the water that are
utterly impossible in any other craft

Icebergs cruised by all day long
on the way from their parent gla
ciers 10 the sea. and while we were
working on the planes we saw q

this mountain OF ice commenced TO

and splashed for fully five minutes
before It got on an even keel. There
