MacMillan Prohibits
Unnecessary Talking
Among Men In Arctic
CHICAGO, July 9. (/P)—It is not
; the cold, a lack of food or the loss of
modern conveniences which makes a
trial of an Arctic expedition. It is
solitude. The men get talked out.
Commander Donald B. MacMillan on
the expedition now en route expects
radio to be a great relief, but will not
appreciably lesson his system of dis
cipline in inter-personal communica
tion.
'On previous trips MacMillan has
forbidden members of the party to
talk to each other during the day or
at dinner time, and to keep away
from each other as much as possible.
“The isolation of that vast region
soon exhausts all timely resources,”
MacMillan explained. “It is not long
before the men know the life history
of each other, that of their families
and relatives and virtually everything
else in connection with the ordinary
man’s life. "When those subjects have
ceased to be topics of conversation
and the few other sources have play
ed out, the men become a bore to
each other. That leads into an unfa
vorable morale. So we talk as little
as possible and keep our counsel by
l being aloof.”
Radio was taken by MacMillan into
the Arctic for the first time last year
after studying for a long time wheth
er it would for better or worse. Eu
gene F. McDonald, jr., of Chicago, in
command of the Peary, as well as
chief of radio on this expedition, had
suggested radio as a means of com
| bating this isolation. But MacMillan
thought that homesickness might be
a different evil because of the con
tact with the world or that bad news
from the family might seriously up
set the morale of the party. Space
was found in the crowded Bowdoin
for radio equipment and MacMillan
decided to give it a try. It caused
none of his anticipated results but
filled a keen want. Dinner time in
the Arctic became an occasion of en
tertainment and gossip, rather than a
period of quiet and sobered eating.
One of the radio incidents which
MacMillan remembers as distinctly
i as some of his scientific discoveries,
' was an evening during the Christmas
holidays when, unannounced or pre
arranged, the instrument picked up
the voice of his sister. He did not
hear her name announced or the sta
tion from which she was talking. He
only recognized her voice. It was
checked up later to find it was Mrs.
Latitia Fogg, broadcasting a greet
ing to her brother.

REFUSAL TO CARRY
OUT ENFORCEMENT
! PORTLAND, Ore., July 9. (/P>—Sec
retary of the Treasury Andrew Mel
Ion “has refused to carry out the du
ties of his office,” in the enforcement
of the prohibition law.
So Governor Pinchot of Pennsylva
nia declared in an address before the
convention of the United Societies of
Christian Endeavor the other night.
“The bootleggers are bold,” Gover
nor Pinshot said, “because they know
that the government of the United
States has never yet determined to
put an end to their criminal traffic.
They know, you know, and I know
that the Treasury Department could
have set its foot down at any time
j and removed this scandal from the
[good name of the United States.
“Secretary Mellon has for four sol
id years had the power and the money,
and by driving politics out of the en
j forcement service he could at any
time have had the men. He has re
| fused to carry out the duties of his
office, and far too many of the good
people of the United States have op
enly or tacitly supported him in that
refusal, because they figured that Mel
lon was good for business.
“Secretary Mellon, for the better
part of a generation a whiskey distil
ler and whiskey distributor and only
within the last few weeks divested of
his interest in millions of dollars
worth of whiskey, was chosen to en
force this law and accepted the re
sponsibility for enforcing this law.
The result, and the natural result, is
known to every man and woman who
cares to think.
“I hope most earnestly that the ap
pointment of General Andrews as
head of the law enforcement service
of the Treasury Department means
that this abominable situation, this
scandal which by the shameful failure
of the government itself has outgrown
every measure, is about to be taken in
hand honestly, vigorously, and with the
intention of getting results. When
that happens, the day of the bootleg
ger will rapidly draw to its close.”
The responsibility for “open defi
ance of law” also rests partly on “the
citizens who fyiv? tolerated it when
they could have stopped it, for in
such matters the people have all the
power,” Governor Pinchot said.
“The criminal elements of our pop
ulation,” according to the governor,
“are banded together from one end
of this country to the other to pour
poison into the mouths of our people,
to instill disrespect of the law in the
souls of our people, and to hold up the
hands of every anarchist, bolshevist,
or other enemy of our institutions.
No such widespread defiance of the
will of the people has ever ben known
in America, and no such flood of pov
erty, crime, disease and death has ev
er before flower from such defiance.”
Governor Pinchot also discussed the
giant power problem, saying “we are
at the beginning of a new electrical
civilization which will be as different
from that of steam as the age of steam
was from the ages which went before
it.”
He warned that giant power would
mean a monopoly, of which there
must be “effective public control.”
The governor in opening his speech
attacked “those people who believe
rightly and whose personal lives are
blameless,” but "who refuse to fight
for their beliefs. “A huge part of the
blame for the evils which exist in our
body politic rest squarely on the
church-going people,” who, in Roose
velt’s phrase, “mean well feebly,” the
governor said.
The Rev. Dr. Daniel A. Poying, min
ister of the Marble Collegiate Church
of New York City, referred to the
Christian Endeavor movement as “the

most important co-educational enter
prise for youth in this generation.”
T)r. Poling said that the message of
1 Christian Endeavor to the world is,
“have faith in youth.” Continuing, he
said:
“Stop slandering youth! Let the
adult, generation first set its own phy
sical and moral and spiritual house
in order. Live decently before youth.
Give time and attention to him and
have faith in him. This is the mes
sage of Christian Endeavor to the i
world!
“Have faith in youth, for youth is in
stinctively loyal, loyal to God and Je
sus Christ. He is instinctively reli
gious; loyal to his country, for he is
instinctively patriotic; loyal to all of
life, for he is supremely alive. A
finer, cleaner, more normal lot of
young men and women no generation
has ever produced. In my whole life ;
as a minister I have never known <
young people to fail when appealed to i
on the plane of sincerity and honor.”
