Gibson, American ambassador to Itelglum, who for several months had been laboring to bring the dispute to an end. Acting under personnl orders from President Hoover, he held a series of private talks with Mussolini, Tardieu, Brland and others, and transmitted their various proposals to Itome and I'arls and finally to the British. The financial end of the accord consists In a long term loan to Italy, to be mude by French nnd American bankers, which will really be a war debt moratorium In disguise.

Past the mouth of the strait flows a stream, often more than 100 miles wide, of berg and floe ice, caused by an Arctic current. This makes navigation difficult and almost impossible in the winter season. The proximity of the entrance to the magnetic pole also causes the compass needle to become unreliable.
