NATIONS SEEK
FIRST CHANCE
AT NORTH POLE
Top Of World, Once Despised,
Now Wanted as Station
on Air Route
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
NEA Corvice Writer

Washington, April 21.-Nobody
would have considered the north pole
worth quarreling over a few years
ago. Today the question, ITO whom
shall the pole belong?" is interna-
tionally so delicate that several big
governments hate to have it discuss
ed. lest trouble be bred.
The idea is that the pole is the
shortest way of getting from almost
anywhere to almost anywhere else.
In the days when it could be Wis
tied only by dog-power, on a diet of
tallow candles, at terrific cost in
hardship and the expenditure of
months of appallingly hard work, the
routes shortness was Infinitely more
than Offset by its difficulties.
Now, however. that the traveller
can shut himself inside nice warm
cabin and fly across it at 60 to 100
miles an hour. .shortness counts.
So to whom does the north pole
belong? Still more to the point, if
there's any land in the poles vicini-
ty, which would make agood way sta
ton on a trip across, to whom does
that land belong?
Answers: It belongs to whomsoever
finds it first and stakes it out
Hence the Macmillan expedition
which the United States navy is fit
ing out. Hence also the Norwegian
expedition under Amundson, which
already is on its way. England. ia
pan and Russia are reported making
similar preparations.

antiquaries, as curiosities. That,
barrow predicted, will be prohibit
tions fate
My anonymous official didn't say
he thought so. too, but he did re-
commend me to read the barrow ar
ticle when l put my question.
Conversations which it seems i'm
possible can lead up to the subject
Of prohibition nevertheless do lead
up to it.
Another official cant refer to
by name, but a very well-known
one, and a Methodist bishops son
at that. was discussing American
education f1r my benefit lately.
"Its strength he said, "lies in the
fact that no attempt ever has been
made in this country to force schools
on any community. When they were
wanted. the people who wanted them
established them. Having wanted
them. these same people naturally
supported them.
But early in our history there
were communities which opposed
public education. They'd have re-
belled if the central government had
tried to cram it down their threats,
just as certain communities virtual
~ are in rebellion now against pro-
hbtion. That wouldn't have pro-
NOTED education. 1t would have re-
tarded it, just as national prohibit
ton has retarded temperance"
