MUCH OF PAC|F|C'S
FLOOR UNMAPPED
Spots as Large as United
States Have Never Been
Sounded by Vessels.

Scattered through the broad reaches
OF the Pacific Ocean are many spots
on the floor Of the greatest sea on the
globe where man has never found
bottom. Spaces exist in the racine
where the United States could be
dropped into depths whose distance
from the surface is known only IN
places spaced $50 miles apart. other
places have been found where con
tinent as large as Australia could be
placed in a part of the ocean whose
depth Is unknown to man.
Even though the introduction of the
sonic depth finder has revolutionized
the science Of finding deep spots in
the floor of the ocean and charting the
depths almost as accurately as noun
tain ranges are charted above the sur
face. there are many spots in the vast
reaches of the western ocean. Tar OF
the beaten travel lanes. where no
depthfinding device has ever sought
the secret Of the ocean moor.
Vast Chasms known.
Such we'll known deeps as the Tus-
carora Deep. discovered in 1913 by
the II. s. S. Tuscarora. maneuvering
near ,Iapan. and the great deep near
the Aleutian Islands. named the Aleu-
tan Deep, have become famous. but
who knows that there are not other
and deeper holes in the floor OF the
ocean than these tremendous chasms
miles and more under the surface.
where the light of day never pen
trates and primeval forms of life vege-
tate and live their brief span of exist
ence in the ooZe of the ocean floor
These questions are raised by hydroS-
raphers as they survey the hydro
graphic map Of the Pacific ocean ne
tween the western borders of the
United States and the small lslanos
which dot the ocean expanses.
Two years ago the naval vessels
Hull and Maryland. equipped with the
sonic depth finder. charted the noor OF
the ocean in a direct line from San
Francisco to Honolulu. another line
from Honolulu to Page Page. Samoa;
another line from Page Page to Auck-
land. New Zealand, and still another
line from Page Page to Cape Howe
Australia. Two years earlier the
Howe, another Navy craft. charted
the bottom of the Pacific from Page
Tago to Sydney. Australia.
Record Set In 1925.
The greatest depth on these lines
was found in 1925. by the Maryland,
on a line about half way between Sa-
moa and New Zealand. where the
depth finder recorded a depth of 4,50S
fathoms. more than 5 miles. The next
greatest depth was found by officers
OF the Maryland just off Page Page,
where the shores of the tropical island
soped rapidly off to Alas fathoms,
dropping almost straight down to this
tremendous hole in the ocean floor.
Yet G. w. Littlehales of the United
States photographic Office declares
there are other great deeps whose bot
, tom has never been explored, even by
the remarkably accurate sonic depth
finder. Here is what Mr.. Littlehafes
saws of the Pacific:

ITO furnish evidence. by measuring
the depth of the ocean, that would YER

doubtless based upon misleading APP
pearance of the surface of the sea,
was to the United States Navy rec.
ognized obligation which resulted in
this service becoming the pioneer in
furnishing authentic measurements OF
the depths of this great ocean. whose
expanse exceeds by 100000 square
miles the total land surface of the
globe.
1T was in 1873 that the L. s, S.
Tuscarora ran the first transoceanic
lines of soundings in the Pacific, in the
course of which the Aleutian Deep was
found and the great trough bordering
Japan was discovered and named Tus-
carora Deep Soon afterward the

single authentic sounding is recorded.
Besides giving the measurement
OF a depth. a sounding must be &C
companied by two additional CO.
ordinates determining its position,
since such a measurement applies
only to one place on the globe: and
to be useful in defining conf1gura
ton, a sounding must be attended
with other soundings at intervals
apart bearing a suitable relation to the
dimensions of the geographical forms
whose confguration is sought to be
developed.
Fleet Got Much Data.
"As formative influence upon
those engaged in measuring deep-sea
soundings, the photographic Office
undertook an investigation to deter
mine the form and dimensions of the
slenderest formation. composed Of the
materials of the crust of the earth
that could be raised from the depths
Of the ocean to a elimination in prox
unity to the surface. with sufficient
crushing strength to remain standing
under its own weight and the weight
of the superintendent body of water
on the principle that if the intervals
between soundings were regulated to
disclose the presence of the slenderest
| formation that could stand, then any
geographical formation that might
exist in Nature would be likely to be
| found. This investigation is published
in the proceedings of the First Pan
Pacific Science Congress. held in Homo

And it is with satisfaction that

not possible to draw the contours OF
the configuraton, because, on account
of the sparseness of the soundings
conjecture everywhere arises in at
tempting to do SO. and there still re-
main great areas in this ocean that
are entirely without soundings. In
the North Pacific there Is tract twice
as large as the United States which
has been crossed by only a single line
of soundings spaced about ESQ miles
apart. and in other parts of the Pacific

view OF the fact that the latter we're
now in the government they could use
police forces to fight the Communists.
Trade unions which sided with the
Communists were suppressed in many
places, but in spite of this new per-
secution of revolutionary workers, the
influence of the Communists increased
by leaps and bounds.
In the meantime the coalition gov
eminent turned its face from Warsaw
to Moscow and sought peace with the
Soviet Union. The result was the
signing of the non-aggression treaty
with the Soviet government.
NOV let us come to the clericals or
~ the reactionaries. They became
the most militant and the most active
element in the country. They worked
day and night, openly and secretly to
capture the power OF the government.
Tho they were in secret alliance with
the Polish fascist, they raised the cry
that the coalition government is work
ing In the interest of the Poles by CIV
ing them freedom in the country and
that It is selling the country to Rus
STA by signing the non.aggression
treaty and allowing the trade unions
to function in the country, which are
falling into the hands of the Com
munists. Their press became the most
violent opponent Of the government,
openly propagating the necessity Of

reactionaries. The students also join
ed hands with the reactionaries.
What did the coalition government
do? 1t simply allowed the clericals
and the fascist to organize openly and
1t did not take a step to save its own
skin. 1t even did not do anything to
weed out the clericals or reactionaries
from the army. The social-democrats
and the populists had the cabinet, but
the army was in the hands of the
clericals. 1t was as clear as daylight
that the reactionaries are about ready
to smash the coalition government and
take over the power once more. Now
they began to make open maneuvers
against the government.
ON November 81 demonstration OF
" the students Of the University of
Kovno was organized with the slogan
for the overthrow of the government.
The police OF Kovno tried to suppress
the demonstration. The fascist led by
the former clerical ministers, fought
the police with sticks and knives. Still
the coalition government did not make
step to suppress the fascist move
ment. On the other hand, the clericals
or the fascist raised a cry all over
the country that the police OF the coali-
ton government smashed the heads
Of the patriots" who are ready to
die for the country.
Then came the Hateful day OF Decem-
Der 16. The seimas opened. The re-
dictionaries openly declared that they
are ready to smash the government.

cial-democrats and populists. the lead
ers OF the nationalist party, Smetona

the socialdemocrats and populists. 1t
was thought that they would use force
to maintain the power, but it seems
that they weighed the situation and
found that the occasion was not OPP
perfume at that moment to maintain
power by force They saw that the
masses are against them. They could
not trust the ranks of the army, there
fore, they decided to submit to the
results Of the, elections and allow the
social-democrats and populists to
establish a new government.
The coalition government began to
work by allowing little more free
dom for the masses. The workers
were permitted to openly organize into
trade unions, amnesty was declared
for political prisoners. That is about
all. The Communist Party of Lithu-
ania, Of course, was still forbidden to
function, nevertheless, the released
Communists found ways and means to
get into contact with the masses of the
workers.
Now, struggle began for the con-
troll of the trade unions between the
Communists and the social-democrats.
The Communists saw danger in the
splitting OF the trade unions and, there
fore, worked very hard TO save them
from disruption. They saw that the
reactionaries, tho defeated in the cleo
lions, were rallying their forces and
were preparing to make an onslaught
upon the workers at the first oppor-
tunity. Therefore. the Communists

Disbursements in Dividends and
Interest in 1926 Almost Equal to
Total Wages Paid Factory Workers

If we could ascertain the dividends
on equipment for railroads and other
utilities We would probably find that
at least a third of all dividends orr
ginated in this group Of services.
The s9,OOO.OO0,OOO paid in 1926 to
the owners of the country's corpora
tons was nearly equal to all the
wages paid to real producers in the
country's factories. But the wages
went to people who spent them almost
Immediately for the necessaries of
life. Dividend and interest payments
on the other hand, went to individ-
uals with such large incomes that
only small part could be spent for
the necessaries and comforts of life.
The remainder went to provide the
rich with unnecessary mental services
or. to increase the insecurity of the
wage earner's life by over-expand-
ing the country's productive power.
