EXPLORERS
IN ARCTIC
SKATTLK, Dec., 12- Two Arc
tic explorers, Roald Amundson, noted
Norwegian, drifting in his ice locked
boat eastward from the Atlantic, and |
Storker Storkerson, lieutenant of Vil
hjamur Stefan >n. Canadian Kxplorer,
floating westward from the Pacific on
an ice pack, are both believed ap* •
piXHiching the New Siberian Islands,
which jut out of the Arctic Ocean of*
the mouth of the Lena River in Siber
ia. Authorities credited with knowing
the Arctic currents believe the tv «•
will reach the island early next year.
No other explorers are nov in the
Arctic and it is thought very likely
that neither Amundsen or Storkerson
knows the other has the same goal in
mind. They probably will not mee\
tor Storkerson is expected to arrive
ahead of Amundsen and probably will
land far nest of Amundsen’s course
Amundson, the discoverer of the
South Pole and navigator of the diffl
cult northwest passage , is on the1
fii it lap of a journey lo the North
»
Pole. He expects to make the last lup
hy airplanes. Storkenson is bound
back in the general direction of civ •
i fixation after spending several years
in the Arctic. Iioth are searching for
new lands and studying the current*
and studying the current* and life oi
the northern ocean.
When Amundsen reaches the Si*,
benan Islands, the current, it is b**
lieved will turn and carry him north.
He is expected to remain with the
drift until it lands him on the immov*
able ice far up towards the Pel*1.,
There, according to his plans, he w:»»
establish a base and attempt to fly th«*
rest of the distance to thfe top of tb*
globe.
Sorkerson, according to his plans
ill leave- his ice pack when it reach
\s the Siberian islands. With his five
men he will come ashore and mak
hi* way back to Alaska. His friend
xpect to hear of him landing some
time next summer near the Istnu.
However, they say he may change hi>
plans and come ashore before that
time.
Stefansson. when he was in th*'
north last winter, planned to make th '
trip Storkerson is now on. After »>
completed arrangements and purchns-,
<*d all the necessary supplies and dog
illness forced him to come outside.
When he left he put Storkerson in

The Canadian thinks Storkerson .;
trip is one of the most daring Arctic
feats ever undertaken. “He is up therj
camped on the ice and practically li'*
ing off the ice pack.” Stefansson say.^
“Other explorers do their work from
their ship. If Storkerson doesn’t g»i
homesick we should hear from him
next year.”
Storkerson and his five men were
landed last May on the ice pack about
150 miles northwest of Herschel I>
land. Kough estimates show that 11 • ■
ice at times drift more than ten milos
a day. This current, Stefansson thinks
carried Storkerson westward until ’i
October hr prooably was about 21'
mibs dur* north from Wrangle Islam*
off Siberia and east ol the New Siber
ian islands.
The Karluk, Stefansson’s firs'
boat, which was lost, was carried
westward from off Alaska. When it
was crushed in the ice, it was on
Wrangle Island. Storkcrson cxpecte •
lo get caught in the same current ar*.
go on beyond Wrangle to the Siber
ian [.lands.

BRITISHERS TO Gi
AGAINST EACH! t
OTHER
SAO PAULO, BRAZIL, Doc., 12—
: The British Chamber of Commerce in
. Sao Paulo has undertaken to encour
age the largest possible number ot
British concerns to come to Brazil to
compete against its own members.
This policy was announced after the
last annual meeting, following a dii*
eussion as to whether a British Cham
ber of Commerce exists for the bene
fit of its own members or for the ben
efit of the British Empire.
There was bitter antagonism at
first this policy , members of the
chamber arguing that it would spoil
their chances to have other British
firms established in Brazil. Those in
favor of the now policy argued that
they would have to face strenuous
competition in Brazil after the war
no matter what they do now and said
they preferred to compete with fellow
Britishers in the common causa of out
competing other nations rather than
ti fight alone the German, American
and Japanese competition regarded as
certain to follow the cessation of hos
tilities.
It was then decided to devote pre
ferential energy to helping other Brit
ish concerns establish in Brazil in ad
vance of other nationalities.
