The polar regions are destined to fcec-orne the world's greatest meat-prsd-ucing: country, vast fields of fuel oil to relieve the ever-Increasing necessity for new supplies will be opened and great stores of coal and copper ore will be developed in time to come, according to Vilhjalmur Stefansson, famed arctic explorer, who reached the city from Spokane last night. He will lecture tonight In the auditorium. "Much as the public may dislike to be disillusioned, it is the "main fea ture of my work at this time to do that very thing." said Mr. Stefansson. "The world has pictured the arctic explorer as among its greatest, its most romantic heroes; but he is not. People think of him as risking his very life at every step, as he picks his weary way across dreary, ice bound wastes and on into the dark ness like unto impenetrable black ness, half famished and subject to death every moment. Well, the truth is about the opposite, if the explorer uses sense. Perhaps it will be hard for the public to accept this version this fact, but nevertheless it must come to pass, for It is the record." Country Supplies XonrBlahjnent. Mr. Stefansson, having explored much of the regions round about the north pole, knows whereof he speaks and he speaks most emphatically and witimhe utmost finality. His last trip was an extended one, during which his party discovered several Islands of large proportions and It was fully established he dec-lares, that the old style of carrying all nec essary provisions, food, etc.. is un necessary and that the country trav ersed will supply nourishment, if one only takes along sufficient equlp ' ment with which to get it. "1 surely intend to make another trip to the polar regions," said Mr. Stefansson, "but I am not ready to announce my plans, although they are quite definite. If I only could get together men who will not care to turn back because of homesickness, so that I could carry out a programme of five years, I believe I could fairly well explore the remaining unexplored area of approximately 1,000,000 square miles. I figure that we could cover about 200,000 square miles a year, so that we would know if there are any other islands of considerable size. Certainly it would require much more time to make a minute investigation." Capital Alive to Possibilities. Large capital is already Interested fn the meat-producing proposition with relationship to the north polar regions, said Mr. Stefansson, and, in due time, he predicts, it will be de veloped to a point where it will be commercially successful and a per-' fectly feasible feature. Transportation will be much easier than, for instance, shipping beef or other meat from Ar gentina to England, because it is a colder country and the problem of refrigeration would be simplified thereby. Reindeer and the muskox, he believes, will be the big meat-producing animals of the region. These already have been raised with great success in Alaska. There will be a large and ever-increasing market for this product, he believes, as devel opment proceeds. That the north polar country Is a pleasant place in which to live, that It is not eternally snow-covered and Is bound to take its place in the front rank with other inhabited portions of the globe is Mr. Stefansson's predic tion. And he does not wish to be regard ed as a hero, just because he is a north polar explorer. DEAF BOYS WIN HANDILY Highland Park Eleven Confused by Sign Language Signals. VANCOUVER, Wash., Nov. 11. (Special.) The football team from the Washington state school for the deaf defeated the Highland Park team, from Portland, by a score of 40 to 6 here today. The deaf boys gave their signals in ign language, to the utter confusion of the Portland team. The game was played on the grid Iron at the school for the deaf. The deaf boys have played five games this season and have won all of them. ican arms and gave the world a new understanding of the American spirit and a new measure of American re sources. " World Understands Now. "Whatever the world may have thought of us before, however in correctly we may have been ap praised, the world has come to know that selfishness is not a trait of our national character; that commercial ism does not engross us; that neu trality was conceived in fairness not in fear and that when our na tional rights are threatened and our nationals are sacrificed, America is resolved to defend, and ever will. More, we gave to humanity an exam ple of unselfishness which it only half appraised before misunderstand ings led to confusion. "We helped to win the war unaid ed and unmortgaged. We fought with the allied powers, but we were only an associated power, and were never committed, if fully aware of them, to the compacts of alliance. "History will record it correctly, no matter how much beautiful sentiment has beclouded our purposes in . the world war. We did not fight to make the world safe for democracy, though we were its - best exemplars. Nor d-id we fight for humanity's sake no mat ter whom such a cause Impelled.

Bet ter transportation on land and an adequate merchant marine would have speeded our participation and short ened the conflict. I believe an Amer ica eminent on the high seas, re spected in every avenue of trade, will be safer at home and greater in influ ence throughout the world. I like to think of an America whose citizens are ever seeking the greater development and enlarged re sources and widened influence of the republic, and I like to think of a government which protects its citi zens wherever they go on a lawful mission anywhere under the shining sun. Cause for Pride Seen. All the way from my home in Ohio to the furthermost port on the gulf I have seen among the people who came to give us kindly greetings scores of stalwart, virile young Amer icans who served their country so gallantly and effectively at home and overseas. One must have cause for renewed pride in the character of these men, in their readiness and ca pacity to serve, in the calm certitude of their manhood, in their new bap tism of Americanism.

He praised the efforts of Texas citizens toward the develop ment of adequate port facilities at the mouth of the Rio Grande, declaring his vacation visit to Point Isabel had brought a new realization of the eco nomic possibilities of the state. Although primarily an Armistice day celebration, the programme of addresses and the parade which pre ceded it were also planned as a wel come to the president-elect and as a boost for the Rio Grande deep water ways' movement. The crowd came by thousands from many of the Rio Grande valley cities and from across the border and there were in the day's events many elements to emphasize both national unity and international friendship.

(Copyright by the New Tork Evening Pott, Inc. Published by Arrangement,! WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. (Special.) The republicans ended their cam paign with a deficit of about $1,600,- 000. The fact calls attention to an aspect of the campaign which at cue time engaged the public interest in tensely and if properly seen is of con siderable importance. Near the re ginning of his tour of the country Governor Cox made charges to the ef fect that the republicans through a few rich men, were getting together a campaign fund of improper size for the purpose of giving rich nven what Governor Cox called an "underhold' on the government. These charges for about two weeks were the chief burden of the campaign discussion. When tne evidence was all in it turned out that the republicans were collecting a considerable campaign fund, through far short of the fig ures Cox mentioned at various times. But it also turned out that the re publican campaign fund was being collected in small sums from a very large number of individual contribu tors, and that no one person was per mitted to give more than $1000. Underhold Made Impossible. This limiting of individual con tributions to $1000 or less guaranteed exactly the opposite of what Cox charged. It guaranteed that no one rich man nor any group of rich men should have an improper hold on the party, and that the party should not be un der embarrassing obligations' to any one man or group of men. I have always understood that this Idea of limiting the size of contribu tions was first suggested by Chair man Hays. I have understood also that at times he has had to defend his idea against a good deal of opposition from other important leaders in the party, and that the difficulty of get ting an adequate sum under this limiting has frequently been embar rassing. The fact that the party ends the campaign with a deficit of 51,600, 000 would tend to prove that this is so. I have understood that Hays has been under extreme pressure from other men high in republican councils to abandon this limit now. Moral Advance Achieved. It is earnestly to be hoped that the republican party and Will Hays will stick to their origina. limit. The adopting of this limit is a distinct moral advance.

In the raising of the deficit of $1,600,000 it is important that the republicans should not yield to the temptation of raising the limit. The moral advance inherent in this idea of Will Hays should be main tained. But between the methods there is all the difference between what is impeccably moral and what is du bious. You can't collect campaign funds from rich men in sums of $100, 000, or even in sums of $10,000, with out incurring an obligation and an obligation is exactly what ought not to exist. This whole subject of campaign funds, of their total size and of .the size of individual contributions, is extremely difficult and is a field: in which it is hard to make clear distinc- I tians between what is proper and what is dubious, but there can be no question that the setting of a $1000 limit is an ethical advance. . The republicans have taken volun tarily a step which might readily have been forced upon them by statute. Being in this position, and having got the public credit they de serve it would be deplorable if they should now abandon it merely be cause of the difficulty of meeting a deficit.' - . THE LAST DAY.
