MOUNT EVEREST
PROPOSED ITALIAN EXPEDITION
(By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Australian & N.Z. Cable Association)
(Received 23rd Aug., 9.15 a.m.) LONDON, 22nd Aug. “The Times” Milan correspondent says that preparations for an attack on Mount Everest proceeding since the British failure are now almost completed. Signor Belloni, president of the Alpine Club, is now approaching the Government to authorise the expedition, which is financed by Italian alpinists, who believe that Mallory’s and Irvine’s deaths are no proof of the impracticability of scaling Everest, but that more judicious placing of base camps is necessary. If the Thibet authorities persist in the recent attitude of not allowing whites to proceed to Everest owing to Thibetan veneration for the peak, (lie expedition will attack Godwin Austen, 28,250 feet, and thus heat Mallory’s record.
