PAGE TWELVE WILKINS AND BYRD EXPEDITIONS NOT INNATURE OF RAGE No Spirit of "of Competition To Be Shown--Will Co- * * ordinate Each Other New York, N.Y. June 24.--~The yrospective aerial expeditions of Bir George Wilkins and Command- or Richard E. Byrd fo the Antarc- tic are not in the nature of a race to the Pole, says a statement by Dr. Isaiah Bowman, president of the American Geographical Society which has endorsed and is conmtri- buting to both expeditions. Commander Douglas George Jef- trey, R.N., retired, head of an- other expedition which will ate tempt to define the boundaries of the elusive Graham Land, which lies south of Cape Horn, has also stated thege will be mo spirit of competition with Wilkins and [' Byrd. On the. contrary he would complement those South Pole ex- peditions. The Wilkins and Byrd flights will co-ordinate each ,other, Dr. Bowman said, the two fiyers cov- [and ering separate sections of the hate [unexplored region. On one" si of the great mountain range known to extend into the Antarctic will be flying Commander Byrd, on the other side Sir George Wilkins, each gathering data to make -a come plete record of the country. The plans of Commander Byrd, he said, call for a flight from the ice barrier to. the South Pole and beyond so as to explore a part of the high Antarctic plateau. Sir George is to fly from a point in the Ross Sea near the ice barrier along the ice where the coast is believed to lie toward Graham Land. His plane is to be equipped with pon- toons so that at the completion of his flight he can land alongside one of the many whalers which cruise in that part of the ocean and be picked up. Sk George, said Dr. Bowman wil] leave Panama on a Norwegian whaler about November 1 and will begin his flight about January 1, just as Commander Byrd begins his work on base stations at the ice barrier.

Im this way he will be able to select sites for the meteoro- logical stations which he has long planned to establish." The object of these would be to co-ordinate weather re- ports from already established sta- tions in the southern hemisphere, and establish a sounder basis for long range weather forecasts. Commander Jeffrey, who is a veteran of the Antarctic and who was a member of one of the ex- peditions headed by the late Sir Ernest Shackleton, will take a parq of about twenty-five men and two planes and expects to leave for the icy regions in September, return- ing some time in May. Other veterans of the Shackle- ton expedition who Commander Jeffrey says will accompany him, are George Vibert Douglas, of Mec- Gill University, geologist; Dr. A, H. Macklin, of Dundee, Scotland, who was lost with Shackleton on the spectacular 1916 attempt to cross the Antarctic ice pack and who was surgeon on both expedi- pole," tions, and J. W, 8S.

"I want to state clearly and dis- tinetly,"" he declared, "we are mot likely to secure liberty by asking it from "Parliament. None of the rights which have been gained in recent years would have been se- cured if we had asked for them. We got them because we have taken them. 'The authority of the church is from above. It dbes not come from below. "There could hardly have been a greater mistake than that of the Church' Congress going eap in hand to Parliament afd asking it to do what they could have done themselves.
