KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen, June 19 (radio from steamer Heimdal)l.—It is « little early for me to tell a connected and adequate story of my experiences on the Polar flight. I shall not at- tempt to do so, but shall merely sketsh <htly and impressionistically some of the high lights of our four weeks in the North. After eight hours' flying toward the ole, we sighted our first open water, A narrow lead in the solid expanse of ice. We alighted the in_perfect fashion on rface of the water, and ouf hopes were high. Then the lead osed, its icy walls crunching upon each other, and the N-24 was badly damaged. On landing we had become separated, and for a day we of the 24 were ignorant of the where- abouts of the N-25. Finally we sighted it across the ice, but were unable to reach it for four days, owing to the e. which was shifting constantly about, showing occasional patches of LAV BARSNAING OF A SUCCESSDR T0 LA FOLLETE Wisconsin Governor Lacks Power to Fill Place of Dead Senator. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. The political effect of the death of Senator Robert M. La 'ollette of Wisconsin may be far reaching. It Lus_three angles. Trst. the passing of the Wisconsin Senator takes from the progressive movement for a new national political party its real leader, the man for whom 5,000,000 votes were cast in the presidential election last year. Second, it removes from the Senate the titular leader of the so-called pro- gressive bloc at a time when impor- tant issues involving the foreign re- lations of the country and domestic questions are to come up for con- sideration, including the World Court and the Mellon tax plan. Third, the death of Senator La Fol- ette changes in the twinkling of an eve the situation in Wisconsin, where for quarter of a century and more La Follette was the domlnant figure, and where the battle lines are already forming for the election of a United ates Senator and governor next ear. New Party At a Loss. Progressives in Washington today, followers of the La Follette ticket in the campaign last yvear, were some- what at a loss to predict just what will be the effect on the move- ment for a new liberal party. A committee, headed by Willlam H. Johnston, president of the Inter- national Machinists, has been work- | ing on arrangements for State and national conventions of such a party organization to be held some time next Fall. It was tacitly understood that Senator La Follette was back of this movement; that he had severed his relations with the Republican party and would throw his entire in- fluence toward the strengthening of the new Liberal party. Always in the background, he was the focusing point for the Progressives. The memory of Abraham Lincoln has been a tower of strength to the Republican party, and the memory of La Follette may prove to be the strength of the Progressive move- ment. one of his ardent supporters pointed out today. But this move- ment received a severe blow in the element in the country rallied to the Republican ticket. Even had La Fol- lette continued to live, the party could scarcely have been expected to galn much ground at present. Un- doubtedly the Progressives will cast about for a new leader and the future of the movement is “on the knees of the gods'—almost anything may happen Held Balance in Senate. In the Senate—which does not con- vene until next December—the loss of La Follette will be immediately felt. Although he was absent from that body almost all of the last session, he was always a potential force. He was leader of the small group which dur- ing the last Congress held the bal- ance of power between the adminis- tration Republicans and the Demo- crats. The margin of control of the Republicans in the Senate in the new Congress is numerically greater than in the Sixty-elghth Congress, but it is still too narrow for comfort, as indi- cated during the special sessfon of the tion of Charles B. Warren of Michi- gan _to be Attorney General was turn- ed down, although sent repeatedly to the Senate by President Coolidge. The tors—including La Follette—the Demo- crats with 40 and the Farmer-Labor- ites with 1 in the new Senate. One of the first important matters which are slated to come before the Senate is the protocol proposing ad- hesion of the United States to the World Court. Senator La Follette, one of the “irreconcilables” during the Senate fight on the Versailles peace treaty and the League of Nations, was rated a strong opponent of the World Court proposal. He was expected to oppose, too, the administration’s ex- pected drive for a marked reduction Che WASHINGTON, D.

Necessarily it has not been possible for me to grant all the requests that have been made of me, and often- times I have been required to take ac- tion for the public welfare that may have seemed for the moment to be contrary to some of the private in terests represented here.

PARIS, June 19.—Premier Painleve agreed to postpone his declaration inst the Communists, scheduled for . in order to give left block lead- ers time to patch up their chamber majority, the security of which was threatened by Painleve's program. Measures to be taken against the Communists in France and her col- onies formed a subject for earnest consideration of the cabinet at a meet- ing today. Proceedings will probably be taken, it is stated, against Deputy Doriot and other Communist members of the Chamber. Painleve was to speak in the Chamber this afternoon upon the col- lusion between the Communist leaders in invading -French Morocco, and to deal with the alleged activities of Mos- cow agents in the French colonies. Premier Painleve had decided to ac- cept a majority support in the Cham- ber of Deputies, composed of the Cen- ter parties, should the Socialists se- cede from the Left group which have previously composed the govern- ment's support.

By the Associated Press. - SHANGHAL June 19.—According to reports from Chungking, strikers there are beyond control, and the many foreigners have taken refuge aboard the foreign gunboats Two Japanese gunboats have left Ichang for Chungking. While there is as yet no definite in- dication of the effect likely to be pro- duced by the rupture yesterday of ne gotiations between Chinese authorities and the commission of diplomats from Peking, Chinese officiala-ewpressed the view that the diplomatic commission merely is returning to Peking to re- port to the foreign legations, and that the negotiations have not actually been broken off. Meanwhile the Chinese delegation is awalting instructions from Peking. The strike _situation here is un. changed. Student pickets are pre- venting foodstuffs from entering the | foreign settlement at some points, while at others toli is being levied on | vegetables at the rate of 80 cents a picul, which is about 60 pounds. Vote to End Strike. The Chinese General Chamber of Commerce voted today to terminate the strike against foreign activities on Monday. There was some question today as to how the chamber action would affect the shipping strike, which is largely controlled by communistic labor elements opposed to commercial and financial interests represented by the chamber. While no official action has been taken, it was believed here last night that Chinese banks would open not later than Monday Although official orders have not been issued, it is understood that a major portion of foreign defense units will be withdrawn from Shanghai, in- cluding members of the American volunteer corps. Essential services, however, such as the power stations and water works, will be protected until safety is assured. TELLS OF BEATINGS. British, Swedish and Polish Nationals Severely Whipped. Increased disorders in Chungking were reported to the State Depart- ment today by Vice Consul Robert L. Smyth In a message apparently sent on June 18. It told of the severe beating received by three foreigners, a British, a Swedish and a Polish national, but gave no details. He said the chief danger lay in the fact that the troops of Gen. Yuan Tsu Ming ““may assist the agitators.” The British consul at Chungking had moved from the consulate to take up his quarters aboard a British gun- boat “because of the forced desertion of his Chinese staff and servants,” the message continued. The Japanese consul remained at his post and Vice - | Consul Smyth added that the consuls enerally were “exerting every effort (sa avo!d’any circumstance that mfght give rise tg an attack upon any for- eigner.” apanese premises were stoned In disturbances on June 17, but the acts were not repeated the fol- lowing day, the vice consul said, add- ing: “There is no agitation at present against Americans at Chungking.

LONDON, June 19.—Publication of the exchange of proposals between Germany and the allied powers for a | pact of security has made it clear that the negotiations, which have al- ready covered more than four months without even a preliminary agree- ment, are likely to be greatly pro-| tracted i The rman proposals were that | her western frontiers be guaranteed | against aggression, leaving her east- ern borders open to possible revision by peaceful means. The French note, giving the allied view, is in effect only an invitation for Germany to elaborate her proposals in greater detail The white book, in which form the communications were given out here, reproduces the prolonged exchanges | between the British and French gov- ernthents in considering the German | offer. Britain Backs League. The British foreign secretary, it is shown, insisted that nothing in the proposed pact should affect the rights and obligations defined in the League of Nations covenant and also declared that any security pact must be mutual and bilateral, protecting Germany well as France from unprovoked at- tack. The French note to Germany stipu- lates that the proposed pact shall not modify the peace treaties in any way | and lays down the necessity of Ger- | many entering the League of Nations, assuming all the obligations as well as enjoying the rights of the cove- nant. Berlin dispatches say that competent political circles appear anything but hopeful of an early and definite con- clusion of a security pact in view of the “arbitrary proposals” contained in the French communication. Owing to the complicated nature of these pro- posals, it is added, the German cabinet does not intend to hurry its reply. The German officials are represented as preferring an international confer- ence to a lengthy exchange of diplo- matic notes. Public Approves. Public reception of the correspond- ence here bids fair to be on the whole favorable, judging from the comments in the London morning newspapers. It is true that there are some reserva- tions and one extremely hostile com- :‘i‘:’!\t' bl}t the general impression is at an important step ward peace has been taken. i The Times strongly emphasizes the argument that the aim of the pact is not, as its opponents claim, to involve Great Britain or any other nation in war, but to allay “those disorderly fears and suspicions which may easily provoke a new war and unite the chief belligerents in a reasonable voluntary agreement to guard the ‘The paper further contends that Great Britain has become too deeply committed by the events during her aid following the World War to escape participation in a pact which it is her “clear interest and obvious duty to further by all means.” ‘The Morning Post says that if Ger- many accepts the French viewpoint as modified by what Foreign Secretary Chamberlain suggests, real peace in Europe is within sight, and that {f the “(Contijued on Page 15, Column 6.
