DEVELOPMENT OF ANTARCTIC
EXPLORER ASSURED OP POSSIBILITY AREA CLAIMED BY ELLSWORTH (Received March 31, 9.30 p.m.) BALBOA, March 30. The Wyatt Earp with Sir Hubert Wilkins and Mr Hollick Kenyon aboard, arrived on the way to Norfolk, Virginia, where Sir Hubert Wilkins will resume work on plans for a submarine expedition to the Arctic' Mr Kenyon is returning to Winnipeg to resume his job with Canadian Airways, flying in north country mining areas, which he declared was more interesting than flights over polar wastes. He said that he had found nothing unusual in Antarctic flying, and that if the area explored by the Ellsworth expedition should contain oil, coal, and possibly other minerals —as they believed it did —it would be quite practicable to work the areas commercially by sending supplies in during the warm periods and maintaining seasonal freight communications. He added that the expedition had claimed for the United States the sector from the South Pole to the coast, from longitude 80 west to longitude 120 west.
