GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIEfr TO
SETTLE POLE C MOW
HARTFORD, Conn.? Willis Moore,
chief of tho Weather Bureau who Is
here on a trip of Inspection, has con
tributed "a brief statement to the Cook
Peary controversy. Speaking of the
which he is president, Mr. Moore
said:
"The Geographical Society is abso
lutely non-partisan in its attitude to
ward the explorers. It will withhold
Its verdict until all data has been car
fully considered and then wUl make
an Impartial finding. The attitude of
tho Geodetic Roard Is similarly neut
ral. We are pained that this de
plorable controversy has arisen, for
both Cook and Peary are American
explorers and Intrepid and resolute
men. Tho discovery of the pole Is
a great victory for American brain
and brawn."
