THJ, RUSSIAN RESlUERS

By d queer quirk Of fate it has remained for Soviet Russia to rescue the Fascist expedition of General Mobile and Communists generally are losing no opportunity of telling the world about the rescue. They are exec .dingly thankful that their men, diametrically opposed to No bile in political faith, were ac- corded the opportunity of portraying the hero's role.
 Dispatches indicate that the Ger man Communists believe the Mobile expedition will be the first wedge in splitting the Fascist party in Italy. They assert that Dr. Finn Malm- eren repeatedly warned the Italian general that conditions were not suspicious for flight over the pole and that Mobile disregarded that warning with a result now too well known.
 The Socialist organ, Der Abend, says:
 Some of the victims of mad Fascist ambition have been rescued by the Russian ice breaker krassln' If the occasion were less serious the | entire affair would be world wide comedy. Civilization will forever : thank Professor Samoihovi1ch and l his alert crew for their brave rescue work"
 The Communists have hailed the
 rescue expedition as means O showing that the Reds are not cruel averaging men. that they think oI other things besides politics and tha no Communist would desert hi: men in the face of danger "as die Mobile"
 Regardless of ones political be liefs the results of the hcrOism Of the crew of the Krassin and of its lutre
 bid alrmen. will be watched throughout the world with lntens' interest. Seldom has fate dealt sucl
 an ironc blow to any political part.

But this would be saved in such small driblets that perhaps it would not be noticed.
 We are not giving advice on the problem; let those who intend to attend the forum or forums give the advice if they are not too modest or ba edward about it.

DESIRE INQUIRY
 INTO EXPEDITION
Sweden Wants to Know About 1 Mdmgre0'S Death

Stockholm, July 16 P-Svedish officials today were considering what steps could be taken toward a for nal inquiry into General Umberto Mobiles fatal expedition to the North Pole. The newspapers were suggesting juridical investigation. The Dagblad printed a report the source of which was not given. say ing that General Mobile lis in fact the Italian governments prisoner as he is forbidden to leave the base ship Citta Di Milano before he ha. , the Italia catastrophe and later events
 Swedish flyers in Spitzbergen have l been ordered to clear up the mys- 1 tery of Dr. Finn Malmgrens fate. His Italian companions buried him alive in the ice. but the admiralty announced it had received no con- firmation of the Swedish scientists 1 death. The search was ordered on the slim chance that he might he alive.
 Political Difficulties An expert on international law said that the law offered no hin. drance to formal inquiry into the Mobile expedition but that difficult ties of a political nature might bs encountered. He suggested that swe. den might propose Norwegian trial of some sort since the Spitz-
 bergen archipelago is under the | jurisdiction of Norway
 It was thought by others. how ever. that such an investigation
 would be hard to arrange as the jurisdiction of any country could
 only be vaguely defined. It was
 pointed out that Dr Malmgren had
 been left to perish in sort os No
 Mans Land and thus no country
 would have a clearyd defined right to
 command iuridical inquiry.
 General Mobile sent q message to
 Stockholm saying that the had no
 misunderstanding with Dr.. Malm-
 gren. He asserted that rela ations of
 the whole party were at all times
 frank and cordial.
