NORGE MAKES GOOD START.
Ship Easily Taken From TrOtzk
Hangar Despite Strong Wind.
BY WALTER DURANTY.
By Cable to The Star.


TROTZK AERODROME, May g
The dirigible Norge of the Amundsen-
Ellsworth Mobile expedition made an
excellent start for Vadso, in northern
most Norway, at 9:40 O'Clock yeSter-
day morning Despite Il 20-mile-an-
hour wind which it was feared would
make maneuvering difficult. the ship
was drawn out of the hangar rapidly
and successfully and Immediately
sailed away from Leningrad on the
penultimate lap of her Polar flight.
At midnight Tuesday Col. Mobile
received a meteorological report that
the weather was improving, sky like
" to clear yesterday morning ana
that the wind was milder from north
east. but likely to freshen as the
day passed. At $50 am. the mem
bers of the expedition jolted away
to Gatchina Palace in an army motor
truck. There were 10 degrees of frost
and deep mud puddles along the
road coated with ice. but the wind
was hardly perceptible and hopes ran
high that the ship would be able to
leave. Fortunately, also, the hangar
faces northeast so that there was
little danger of a side current in
turing the delicate fabric as it was
drawn out of the hangar.
Wind Reported in North.
At 7:3O the wind was stronger, and
Col. Mobile received a cable message
from Vadso that a 30-mile-an-hour
northerly wind was blowing there. He
decided. nevertheless. to start, and by
$50 O'Clock the final stock of hydrogen
and gasoline was aboard. The crew
took their places at 8:45, and half an
hour was spent in adjusting the bal
ance of the ship. At 9:17 Col. Mobile
ordered the work of drawing the Norge
from her hangar to begin.
At the bow there were number of
guide ropes, six others along the body
and a number more at the stern. Two
hundred Red soldiers took part in the
work. The motors had already been
tried out and found to be in perfect
order. AS the Norge emerged from
the hangar there came sudden, sharp
gust. The troops swayed on their
feet, and Comdr. Alturin, in charge of
the aerodrome, volleyed orders in Rus
sian.
The Norge's mascot, the little white
terrier Titina, yapped excitedly as the
ship rocked before the wind. The Rus
sian movie photographers whirled the
handles of their machines while their
colleague, Lebedenko, the Soviet Off
cial agency correspondent, pushed for
ward to the door of the gondola. He
certainly made fine picture-a fat
stocky person, so enveloped in furs
from feet to head that little except his
nose was visible. He was in sharp
contrast with the rest of the eXpedi-
ton The others were wearing ordi-
nary clothes with overcoats, and the
Italians wore their uniforms. Col.
Mobile wore a f1eece-lined coat over his
uniform and knee-high flying boots.
The temperature # the gondola had
been raised to Al degrees Fahrenheit

the plight of the coal industry. over
looking the depression in cotton,

This situation-the state of Great

to the fundamentals of the country's s

Relief Held Imperative.

Pitiless pressure upon British re-
sources is what is creating increasing
lv perilous emotions in the British
Isles. Relief in one direction or an
other is indispensable to the existing
political, social and economic system
over there.
The pending crisis may be con-
trolled. Disaster may be averted.
But only a profound improvement in
the industrial, commercial and fl
nancial situation can end discomfort
and fortify the bases of democratic
rule.
British workmen and their families
do not behave in this way for any
trifiing reason. These wOrkmen> are
not Bolshevists. They are proud of
Britain. British workers are as keen
in their nationalism as any Tory. J hey
say: You ask us to respect the prin-
ciple of private property. Very well,
work out an economic arrangement
that will give us a little of it. 1t will
be much easier for us to believe in
and to defend the principle of private
property if our labor enables us to
own something
Per Capita Tax Huge.
But consider the particulars in the
financial load the British nation is
carrying.
It's national income is reckoned at
S37474 per capita Taxation on this
income amounts to 1872 per cent, or
$S694 for every inhabitant. OF this
taxation a vast amount is accounted
for by war debts-by the fact that
Britain is paying her debt to the
United States while thus far unable
to collect a vastly greater debt owing
her by continental countries in
Europe.
For more than two generations, ac-
cording to figures of Mr.. Churchill,
British chancellor of the eXchequer,
Britain will be paying the United
States just a half million dollars a
day. She is paying us now about
$40, 100000 a year and the amount
will rise soon to $3.50, 1000, 900. Of the
nearly $11, 200, 900, ,000-she has re-
her by Italy the other day.
