A Dfsreputable Work
Never in the history of America
has the like Of this attack on the
soundness and independence Of edu-
cation been uncovered. In attack
ing the integrity Of the schools it
attacks the very basis of self
government. AS an attempted
threat to free institutions it Is In
the same class with the stealing
Of votes. And II Is no less dis.
reputable.
This electric effort to prevent
our democracy from thinking for
itself does not end with the schools
and universities, but covers all the
other sources OF public opinion as
well.

They Call 1t Honorable
"And on top OF 1t all comes the
assertion. Of one Of the leaders of the
electric nnonopolists that all this is
right and honorable, an assertion
made Immediately after he had found
it impossible to remember under
oath what he did with any part of
some twenty thousand dollars of re-
cent propaganda money-when he
paid IL, how he paid it, to whom he
paid IL, and what for.
This thing is nation wide. In

national organization to stimulate

them, and a lobby at Washington

that has been and Is being spent

issue The Italia will soon resume
its flight. / am only awaiting the
next favorable moment to give once
again the order to go.
We had a real field day before
starting, a day of hard work de-
voted to putting the last touches to
the travelling kit of the Italia.
Head for Archipelago
We were heading towards Franz
Josef Archipelago, and then for
the best known part of Nicholas IL
Land which lies to the extreme
east of that territory.
Nicholas III Land was dis covered
by explorers coming to 1t from the
east. They were prevented by ice
from preceding further. There
fore only one end of Nicholas III
Land has been mapped and rob ody
knows how far it may extend to the
west.
The Italia intended to follow the
coast line with the object of ascer'
tanning IL possible its complete con.
figuration. It was, moreover. my
hope to effect at least one anding.
Three members of the crew would
form the landing party If we were
able to make such an experiment.
lieutenant Zappii. of the Royal
italian Navy: Prof. Malmgran and
Prof Pontremoli.
1t was expected that the landing
party would be in a position to de-
termine the western boundary of
Nicholas III Land. making magnetic
observations and taking sopndings.
The geological conformation Of the
land was also to be studied.
If conditions permitted We hoped
to anchor the airship. ShoItd this
be found impossible. the landing
party would be secured against dan-
ger of the airship suddenly drifting
away. by means OF specially con.
structed cables attached 20 their
belts.
May Find New Land
Nm less important than the geo
logical, geographical and magnetic
records of Nicholas II Land will ne
the results we intend to achieve
by thorough exploration at the Pole
and the adjacent regions where
there may exist other islands or
lands yet unknown. To this end
we planned to follow a direct route
on curriculum to King 81 Bay, flying
as 1t were, as the crow flies, oyer
vast strip of entirely unexplored
space where, however, 1t is pre-
sumed no land may he found.
Summing up, we hoped to have
explored. on our return to Kings
Bay, a large zone on which no
human eyes have yet gazed. This
first dash of the Italia was in fact
most important OF all from the geo
graphical viewpoint. 1t should also
have given valuable results from
the standpoint OF the astronomer.
If it had not been found neces-
sary TO return on account OF the
weather we should have Travelled
| by the time we returned to Kings
Bay about $500 kilometers. but we
had taken aboard both fuel and
supplies for a journey of at least
1000 kilometeEs ((4,375 miles,, lasting
about so hours. One of the minor
| objects OF the trip was To ascer-
tain what truth there may he in
the proclaimed existence Of Gillis
Land, which was reported TO have
been seen from Franz Josef Land
by previous expedition. The
existence of ellis Land appears TO
be, to say the least, predetermined.
We will try to solve this little
problem.

{ Canada Province Profits
 By Auto License Laxity

Fredericton, N. F.. April 2 P>-- The province of New Brunswick eliminated tho ycar-cnd rush for automobile registration plates this year by extending 'hc expiration of 1927 rccistra tons for two months.
 Only with the beginning of March were motorists required to carry 1928 license plates. The result has been greatly increased motor travel on the highways throughout thc central and southern portions of the province. where snowfall was light.
 Instead of losing money by allow ing motorists more time in which to register. the provincial treasury has benefited by incerased receipts from gasoline taxes. The bordering state of Maine lent it's cooperation 10 the schcnl" in permitting New Brunswick drivers to enter that state with 1927 plates during Jann- ary and February. The plan prob ably will be continued in the future years, the authorities say.
