NATIONS SEEK FIRST CHANCE AT NORTH POLE |Top of World, Once Despised, Now Wanted as Station on Air Route BY CHARLES P. STEWART NEA Service Writer | Washington, April 21.—Nobody | would have considered the north pole worth quarreling over a few years ago. Today the question, “To whom shall the pole belong?” is interna- tionally so delicate that several big governments hate to have it discuss- sed, lest trouble be bred. The idea is that the pole is the shortest way of getting from almost anywhere to almost anywhere else. In the days when it could be vis- \ited only by dog-power, on a diet of tallow candles, at terrific cost in hardship and the expenditure of | months of appallingly hard work, the route’s shortness was Infinitely more than offset by its difficulties. Now, however, that the traveler can shut himself inside a nice warm cabin and fly across it at 60 to 100 miles an hour, shortness counts. So to whom does the north pole belong? Still more to the point, if there’s any land in the pole's v ty, which would make agod way sta- tion on a trip across, to whom does that land belong? Anawers: It belongs to whomsoever finds it first and stakes it out. Hence the MacMillan expedition, which the United States navy is fitt ing out. Hence also the Norwegian expedition under Amundson, which already is on its way. England, Ja- pan and Russia are reported making similar preparations. TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 1925 Navy officers. like to tell about the MacMillan plans up to the point where the visitor begins to ask about annexation of the pole. Then, “Shush on that talk,” they cry. “It’s the very thing we don’t want to re- mind the others of.” ; The proposed way station at the pole may develop into a mighty in- teresting place. Traveling, say from Chicago to Calcutta bythe Polar route, tourists naturally will want to stop off for a look at the earth’s hub, just as trains pause for awhile at Niagara to let the passengers see the falis, This raises the question: Who will get the coffee and hot dog concession? And if the United States annexes the pole, will it be dry? Last winter was a test’ winter. Was it unusually warm, unusually cold or just middling, Inasmuch as it’s past, it seems as if we ought to know. Nevertheless, experts disa- gree. Herbert Janvrin Browne, unofficial but widely known weather forecaster, said he could make an accurate pre- diction for at least a whole season. The government weather department said he couldn't. “All right,” re- joined Browne six months ago. “I'll make forecast for the winter of 1924- 25 and leave it to the thermometer to show whether I’m right or wrong. It_will be exceptionally ‘cold.” Now the winter of 1924-25 is over. “It was exceptionally cold,” triumphs Browne. “It was exceptionally mild,” insists the weather department. The secret is this: Browne took his tem- peratures from the vicinity of the North Cape. The weather depart- ment relied on readings from the neighborhood of Palm Beach. It’s one thing to talk about dis- charging superfluous government em- ployes; something entirely different to do it. Public Printer George H. Carter tried it and it nearly cost him his job—may do so yet. Now an investigation has been started to determine how many of the socalled “independent bureaus”—independent of any department—are worth hav- ing, ‘The regular .departments could take over their work.
