Communism in Russia may not be everything that it should—but it’s a 100 per cent success aboard the good ship Maud, which lies at the Lander st. dock preparatory to leav- ing next week, on Captain Roald Amundsen’s attempt to “drift over the top of the world.” Communism—there’s no other term for it; it’s more than mere democracy—holds full sway aboard the Maud. Not in the sense of reigns of terror, assassinations and famine, but in an absolute equality, from Amundsen, world-famed ex- plorer, down to Kakot, the Siberian Eskimo cook—and, yes, even to Sally, the Siberian malamute dog that will accompany the expedition. No task is either too important or too menial for any member of the crew to perform; but when the day’s work is done, the explorers will gather around a common board without leaders and without subor- dinates. “It’s the only way that we can get along,” Amundsen explains, “On such an expedition as this—an ex- pedition which may keep us from the rest of the world for seven years—the principal thing is a per- (Hone Brew ) PREDIC OF TEA a eee “Malcolm Douglas Probes Milk Prices."—Newspaper.

We are going toa region where it doesn’t matter what one’s grandmother was; but the lives of all of us may depend on what kind of man he himself is. “Every member of the crew was, of course, selected with the utmost care. They are all to be relied upon implicitly under any circumstances —they are men engaged in the work for the love of it. “And there's lots of work, too. One hour may see a man perform- | ing the duties of a seaman; the next he may be making scientific investigations which will have a direct bearing on the welfare of the entire world.” Amundsen himself, incidentally, is | quite capable of going into the galley and cooking a bang-up meal for the crew—including Sally—whenever he has time from the little job of run- ning the expedition. The other members of the party are Captain Oscar Wisting, Norwe- gian naval officer and Amundsen’s companion on many a past expedi- tion into the frozen reaches around tists; Lieut. Oskar Umdahl, Norwe- gian navy and Lieut. Odd Dahl,Norwe- gian army, both flyers; G. N. Olon- kin, chief engineer; Soren Syvertsen, engineer and radio expert, and O. Pearson, aviation mechanic. Quite an imposing array of ce- lebrities, eh? But you'd never sus- pect any of them of being celebrities if you saw them working at loading the Maud. Clad in overalls, their faces smeared with dirt and perspir- ation, they look more like steve- dores than they do like famous scientists and high-ranking army and navy officers. That's the com- munism of it. Even Sally, the husky dog, doesn’t look the part. She’s just as demo- cratic as any other member of the crew and is as willing to bite the poorest newsboy as the bloatedest bondholder. However, she doesn't bite her fellow members of the soviet, and when any stranger goes on board she’s always tied up—so there’s no danger. If anyone imagines that the party which made this communism pos- sible was assembled with ease, he is badly mistaken. More than 250 applications were rejected by the Universal Ship & Trading Co., Amundsen’s Seattle agents, and hun- dreds more were culled out by the explorer himself.
