For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry noth ing out. And having food and raiment, let us therewith be content 1 Timothy 6:G, 7, 8. STRANGE RENDEZVOUS Submarine and airship will keep a strange rendezvous at the North Pole in Judy if the plans of Sir Hubert Wilkins, famous explorer, and Dr. Hugo Eckener, equally famous pioneer of the air, carry through and fate is kind. The Wikins submarine. Nautilus, will seek to reach the top of the earth under the ice, while Doctor Eckener will approach it above the ice in the Graf Zeppelin. Both expect to prove that there is a better way to explore polar regions than by slow, laborious, dangerous dog sled. , Nothing of practical value may come from it except some "continued stories," but mankind derives some satisfaction from proving that he can do something that has never been done before. Of course there is the added value of putting a submarine to new and unusual tests and of studying the airworthiness of a huge airship under most adverse atmos pheric conditions. Should both expeditions reach their object, complete their scientific studies and return in safety, man may well say that he has conquered the polar country. And perhaps they will bring back something of scientific value. ." ; It is significant that American interests will play an im portant part in both of these great adventures. TRIMMING THE BUDGET 5 The fact that the bureau of the budget has already begun a survey of public finances in order to determine how much economy can be practiced in federal expenditures for the fiscal year of 1932-33 is refreshing evidence that the admin: istration intends to lose no time in effecting drastic re trenchment in the costs of operating the government. We recall the days of the Coolidge administration when economy was the keynote in the conduct of government. The new economy movement will undoubtedly have the approval of the majority of citizens, who hope that the survey of the budget bureau will reveal tangible methods of attaining its purpose of retrenchment.
