"Times" Cables. (Received Bth March, noon.)
LONDON, 7th March. Generally speaking, aeroplanes cannot supersede old methods of exploration, says Sir Douglas Mawson, v who has 'not yet decided whether to employ them. "It might happen," he added, "that in certain regions not worth exploration aircraft might disclose this, rendering long sleigh journeys unnecessary."
The Discovery is now lying at the West India Dock, London, and sails in June. Sir Douglas Mawson does not propose,to go to Australia aboard her, but he will join her later. The scientific staff is likely to number thirteen, and the Discovery's crew 26. Hobart is the likeliest point of departure southward.
