“IN BAD TASTE”
CRITICISM OF BYRD U.S. CONSUL’S STATEMENT (Per Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. “Whatever Major Gran’s opinions may be, it is most unfortunate that he gave public expression to them at the present time,” said Mr. H. P. Bridge, United States Consul at Christchurch, when asked to comment on the Norwegian explorer's criticism of the South Pole •flight story attributed to Commander Byrd. ‘‘l consider his remarks were in very bad taste. 1 am not able, to express a competent opinion on the accuracy or otherwise of Commander Byrd’s story, but there is no gainsaying that his flight over the South Pole adds still further to his already formidable list of achievements.”
