Peary came aboard the A. P. tug and declared: This is new record in newspaper enter prise and l appreciate the compli- ment.'
 For five days our men remained with Peary at Battle Harbor. Cook sailed from Copenhagen for New York on the Oscar II accompanied by an A. r. man. Every day our men at Battle Harbor reported more of peary's story. The New York office wirelessed each message 10 the Os- car II. Cook would read ii and our man with him would wireless what he said to New York, This office would send if on up the coast to Battle Harbor. So, thanks to the wireless and q bit of luck, we had from Pcary while he was still in the North all that he had promised us and some ten thousand words that We had no reason to expect.
 Element of Chance
 "Plan as you will the element of chance always is present in news gathering. But sometimes luck is just pluck. There was Dayey One Of our boys, up against it in many ways but always claiming that he was luckiest, as he certainly was the happiest, man alive. Wish you could have known him. Comical, little. sawed off, but every inch of him mans man; with q heart like an OK; afraid Of nothing, always ready, and always insisting that all was well with him and the world.

You . will recall that after the war King Albert and Queen Elizabeth of Bel gium visited this country. l don't suppose you remember the A. P. chap who chased them about. That was Davey.

 "Davey couldn't make the weight for the army or navy, but he got q war assignment from the A. r. He was given a mission that meant hardship. deprivation. and that he might never come back. But you would have thought that some one had handed him q million dollars. He chuckled and beamed and said rather apologotically: Well, you know boys, I always vas q lucky guy

 "Peary made good at the Pole on April 6. 1909, and he made good with us. His dramatic message filed with the Marconi wireless station at Indian Harhor, Labrador, was wirclesscd to Cape Ray, Newfound- land, then sent over the government land lines to Port aux Basques. whence it was relayed by cable to Canso, Nova Scotia. At that point the Postal Telegraph Company pick ed it up and delivered it to our of flee in New York, Peary had full filled the first part of his promise 10 us and We had no reason to ex- pect further word direct from him until our men, hurried north, in torccptcd him for the promised in- rorvicw.

 Cooks Earlier Story
 "It so happened that just five days earlier Dr. Frederick A. Cook had appeared on the news horizon. DbA Ildu CbllfAL II tlll .N'N I LII n 4Dl the Arctic on July 4. 1907. He, too, had sold the rights for publication Of his Arctic story 10 others. But when q Danish steamer bound for Copenhagen picked him up off the west coast of Greenland, the captain Of the steamer wirelessed to Copen- hagen that Cook claimed to have reached the North Pole on April q, 1908.
 This message was Immediately relaycd to us. Now Pcary had been out of touch with the rest of the world for more than year and as soon as we received his message wc twirclcssod back 10 him the first news he had that Cook claimed to have reached the Pole nearly a year earlier than he had. We were not surprised when on the next day VIC received a second despatch from ] Peary. reitcrating his claim 10 being the first at the top Of the world and adding that Cook should not he taken too seriously; that the two Eskimos who had acCompani"d Cook said that he went no distance north, and not out of sight of land

Eastern Division Superin- tendent Describes Thrill ling Stories and Argu- ments on North Pole Dis coyery Back in 1909.
The Associated Press

New York. May 27,-CP.-The something merciless' about news of the day was described in a radio address last night by Edward Me Kcrnon. Superintendent of the East crn division or The Associated Press, speaking from station WIZ.
 News may cause one heart to re- joice but break another, Mr. Nc Kernon said, explaining the reasons as follows:
 Story of Sept. 6. 1909
 Tt was just 50 minutes after twelve o'clock noon Of September 6. 1909 when a startling message flashed into the New York office Of The Associated Press. Quicker than it can be told. it was penetrating every nook and corner of the civil ized world. It found its way into a home at Portland, Me, and a brave little woman wcpt for joy. It whis- percd in the ear of the guest Of honor at a state dinner in the gild- ed ballroom of the Tiyoi Casino at Copenhagen, Denmark. He said, I am glad and gave no other sign.
 50 The Associated Press first gave to the world the historic mes sage stars and Stripes nailed to tho North Pole" So also began the famous controversy that for days crowded other news off the first page.
 pcary'S Pledge
 Long before Robert F. Pcary sailed for the Arctic on the Roose- yelt from Sydney, Nova Scotia, July r, 1908, it had been suggested that The Associated Press finance the expedition and have his story for eX- elusive publication. The reply was that it was the function of The Associated Press 10 report news, not to make it, and he sold his pros pective story to others. But Peary was a good sport, He recognized that his earlier and unsuccessful eXpedi- tions had been made possible large " through the interest aroused in his quest by the despatches of The Associated Press. So he voluntarily made this promise That if he reach ed the North Pole he would, first send one message announcing his success to The Associated Press and, second, that he would give one interview 10 the first A. ?. man who met him on his return.

Profits, Five Billion

Out Of 800 900 corporations in the
United States, the article stated. the
1000 mentioned stand to make
profits of more than five billion dol
lars during 1926, while the $4,000
smaller corporations combined will
not make so much.
It was said that 16S super-corpora
tons made a profit of more than
$13, 100000 each, during the last
fiscal year, and that their profits
alone aggregated 50, 300 900, 900 on a
gross business of twenty-five billion,
OF an average of almost 10 per cent.
Small Firms Suffer
The 399,O32 smaller corporations
did a gross business of about $72,-
000,000,0 900, it was said. Many of
them made no profits at all, and
some went to the wall.
Coupled with charges that the
larger corporations have been able
to drive many smaller ones to the
wall through non-activity of the
Government in prosecuting antitrust
Investigations, and with the Federal
Trade Commission recent report
of vast inequality of the national
wealth, the Posts revelations have
