Stefansson Tells of
Conditions In Arctic

vilhjalmur Stefansson IL great
Arctic explorer. but an exceedingly
modest one. He always disclaims
being q hero or having undergone
any extraordinary hardships In the
Arctic regions says the Scientific
American.
Mr.. Stefansson is definitely of the
opinion that with proper precautions
and preparations life In the Arctic
may be relatively pleasant, and fly
Ing within the Arctic circle perfectly
possible.
At lecture which the explorer de-
livered before the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers, Mr.. Stef-
ansson took pains to explode certain
erroneous Ideas which have appar-
emily been handed down to US from
the ancient Greeks. The notion Is
prevalent that for at least half the
year the Arctic regions are In dark
ness. AS a matter of fact, for two
thirds of the year the sun never sets
at the North pole, and 1t Is only dur
ing one-third of the year that there
Is night. What Is more, snow and
ice are such perfect refectors OF
light, that there Is never. at the
North pole, the absolute darkness
which may prevail at the equator.
Another popular fallacy is that the
maximum of extreme cold is found
at the North pole; the maximum de-
gree OF cold has actually been found
and recorded In the province of va
kutsk In Siberia (1.100 miles from
the North pole). where tempera-
ture of s3 degrees below zero, Fab
renheit, has been found.

Cash Sins.

With suave kindness, Thatcher
explained what we were there for

without looking. These particular
pillow cases had been sold for cash
and the duplicate delivery Sins

would investigate.
Presently he returned with the
duplicate delivery slips in his hand.
For this time, at least, we were
playing in luck that element
which Thatcher Colt maintains
cannot be disregarded in the in
vestigation Of crime, the conduct
of war, or any other gamble in
human affairs. As he gave the
slips into the Commissioners
hands, Mr.. Pearlman explained
that every one of the pillows and
cases was accounted for by those
little pieces Of paper.

cases. quickly made stenograph-

.sked Thatcher Colt.

Well, as to that, Detec-
tive Gernsback couldn't say. The
commissioner hadn't ordered him to
find out anything about sales slips.
What he had asked him to do was
to find the origin of the pillow
cases and that, Detective Germs
back, who seemed to think his
good fortune was an evidence of
superior cunning and competence,
had triumphantly accomplished.
Sales slips were no part Of his
thoughts and by voice and rolling
eyes he gave the Commissioner ia
understand that.

Fiat Money

Under the constitution the federal
government reserves to itself the
power to coin money. States, NUM-
cipalities or individuals have nothing
to do with the national coinage.
But this proviso applies only to
legal tender. It has no effect on
barter. exchange. the sale Of securi-
ties or promissory notes or other EVIL
dences of indebtedness.
With these facts in mind it will be
interesting to note the workings OF
the experiment which is being pro-
posed at st. Paul where Mayor VIII
liam Mahoney proposes to issue city
script as a cure for unemployment.
Under his proposal the certificates
or script would be issued against a
100000 reserve fund to be set up by
the Board of Public Welfare. They
would be used to pay workers on pro-
jects inaugurated to provide jobs for
the unemployed.
To each 81 certificate two-cent
special stamp would be added weekly
by the holder. At the end Of the year
the certificate, with slO4 in stamps
attached, would be redeemed by the
welfare board for 81 in currency, the
extra four cents would cover cost Of
issuance.
Redemption at discount would be
possible during the year.
Mayor Mahoney said he expected
local business houses to accept the
script in payment for services and
commodities if the plan is adopted.
The certificates also would be accept
ed in payment of taxes and other OBJ
legations to the city and county.
The job Of figuring out the legal OF
constitutional status of this new form
of money may safely be left to the
lawyers. The average man will be in
terested in learning II it enables will
ing but hard-pressed citizens to live
on self-respecting basis. If it does
all that is claimed for it We may have

The Growth Of Bartering
Minneapolis Tribune)

One OF the inevitable effects of de-
flation is the growing tendency tow
ard barter that is evident in the COM
mercial relations between individuals
and nations. In no country has this
primitive form Of exchange seen
greater advances than in America in
the last year. where, according to Pro-
lessor j. D. Brown. lao exchanges are
operating in % states for the sole pur-
pose OF exchanging goods and SER
vices. Even further expansion of the
barter movement is contemplated. for
plan OF federal assistance for these
exchanges is being considered, Profess
sor Brown declared IN q speech be-
fore the American Statistical aSsoci-
alton.
More than 100000 unemployed in
California are obtaining the necessi-
ties Of life In exchange for a days
work and In Minneapolis, through
such organizations as the Organized
Unemployed. similar aims are being
carried ont. The pressure OF thou
sands Of unemployed men In every
large city, on one hand. and the vast
amount OF surplus food that fails to
demand market, on the other, have
inevitably led to the effort Of these
two units in the producing system ia
get together. Flooded markets and
debated price levels are forcing this
type Of exchange between individuals
who hold either surplus of some
goods. and are lacking others. or those
who are unable to find a market for
their services. In the international
field something not entirely diSsimi-
lar Is taking place, as witness the
proposal being considered by Canada
and Soviet Russia which contemplates
! the exchange Of Canadian goods for
, Russian oil.
Obviously bartertng has serious linn.

No More Vital Task

Federal budget balancing is the
most vital issue before the congress
today. President-Elect Roosevelt
properly summons Democratic lead
ers to New York to impress upon
them the paramountcy Of this ac-
ton.
II business recovery is to be aided
1t is essential that the federal gov
eminent place its finances upon a
firm basis, not by additional taxes
alone, but first and foremost by a
reduction of expenditure through the
elimination OF unnecessary boards
and commissions.
Mr.. Roosevelt has vetoed a sales
tax until every other recourse has
been surveyed. Budget slashing, he
feels, is the immediate action neccs-
sary toward a balanced budget. OF
course he is right. Economy has
hardly been started at Washington
and it remains to be seen how cour-
ageous the Democrats can be when
political pork must be cut down to
fit the Debated condition of the tax
payers purse.
A balanced budget and drastic
economy are always cited as the first
steps to be taken in the present Geo.
nomic crisis. The last congress did
not tackle the job of budget reduce
ton In earnest. A national campaign,
then confronting the members. meant
inaction. There were only feeble at
tempts at economy. Now the gov
ernmental experts must slash deeply.
Our federal government costs, as
now reflected in the tax bill, are be-
yond the paying power of the people.
They just can't meet the bill and
unless drastic action is taken the
deficit will mount higher and make
economic recovery impossible.
It has been too we'll demonstrated
that the power to tax is the power
to destroy. Immediate reduction in
taxes is the sine qua non of recovery.
The way out is clear but is there
enough leadership in either party to
apply the remedy?
