'And why did you come back ?
"We were afraid Commander Peary
might be displeased if we stayed there
any longer."
Immediately upon their return our
two representatives were seen by the
New York Herald and Hampton's Maga-
zine; but when these two enterprising
publishers found out that the South
Pole had actually been discovered they
refused to print the story, on the ground
that its genuineness would lose them
their readers. LIFE, with its usual en-
terprise, was the only periodical in the
country daring to print a true story of
marvelous discovery.
An investigation by Congress will fol-
low. President Taft said this after-
noon;
"It is extremely gratifying to think
that we have at last discovered the
South Pole. I trust, however, that no
attempt will be made to bring it into
the country; in case this is done, I have
instructed Collector Loeb to do his
worst."
What will be the effect upon our re-
lations with Patagonia is now being
considered on every side. From an in-
side source it is learned that the worst
is feared. Patagonia, we already un-
derstand, has entered into a secret al
liance with Japan and war may ensue,
in which case Brazilian diamonds will
advance.
