P"4““ ® ASSERTS BRITISH ALOOFNESS PAST Ambassador Howard Says U. S. Can Stand 0ff, But Own Nation Cannot. Time Is Measured | I The most delicate time measure- ments ever made by the ingenuity of man, by which intervals as small as three one-billlonths of a second wera were reported to the American Physical Society, in session at the Bureau of Standards yesterday afternocon, by Dr. Paul Heymans of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology.. The experiments were conducted by Dr. Heymans in conjunction with Nathaniel H. Frank of the same insti- tution. The method used was as fol- lows: 1. Two electrical conductors are put in a position with their terminals fac- ing each other, and a short distance apart. The United States, with no fear about eccurity because of its geographical po- sition, can hold aloof, but 20th cen- tury Great Britain must choose be- tween an association of nations and “the notorious doctrine of the balance of power” with its spectre of inevi- table wars, Sir Ksme Howard, the British ambassador, declared = last night in an address before the Ameri- can Political Science Association. . Speaking on “British Policy and the Balance of Power,” the ambassador traced through the centugies the de- velopment of the European doctrine that aimed at “a just equilibfium be- tween the nations as should prevent any one of them from becon g suffi- ciently strong to enforce its will upon the rest.” Electric Currents Used. 2. Electric currents are sent through both. 3. In a gaseous atmosphere capable of radiating, these currents throw a reflection like a corona from their terminals, invisible to the naked eye, but which can be These two coronas, or Lichtenberg figures as they are known to physi- cists, will meet at a line exactly in the middle of the space between the terminals if the length of the conduc- tors is exactly the same—that is, ‘it | the electrical impulse has exactly the same distance to travel 4.

Doctrine Inevitable. The doctrine was not of British origin, he said, but inevitably it be- came a corner stone of British policy and continued so for 500 years for ubvious reasons of self-preservation. Due to her geographical position, he added, Great Britain today could no more hold altogether aloof from a Eu- ropean league than she could former- 1y stand apart from the system of Joining sides against the stronger power. At present, he declared, he could Eee no power threatening to domi- nate Europe. There is a breathing space in which to consider the whole situation, he asserted. The Ambassador expressed the hope that the statesmen of his countr: may rise to the height of the task that will be imposed upon them and avold returning to the system of balance of power without sacrificing any of the good will and friendship of Great Britain's friends in other parts of the world. One of the prin- cipal duties of Great Britain in the future, he declared, will be to ex- vlain and igterpret the necessities and difficulties of Europe to America and the overseas dominions while, at the same time, working in Europe for an enduring peace. Aks U. “But T would ask try to understand the difficult posi- tion of Great Britain,” he continued, “Every man in the British Isles de- sires the closet understanding with the United States. That is the cardi- nal principal of our policy and must remain so. We are, however, com- pelled at the same time to consider our situation in Europe, and we have Riso to consult and regulate our poli- ey according to the views and opin- fons of other partners of the British | Empire whose interests are not directly concerned with Europe, and it is this which may at times make it difcult for the English-speaking nations outside of Europe to under- stand our policy, owing to our more complex problems.” Speaking of the The quantum theory of light, of the most mysterlous with which physical science deals, was discussed most recent aspects at the the American Physical the Bureau of Standards S.

CO-OPERATION VITAL SCIENTISTS TOLD Hughes Declares Nations, Lawmakers Should Work With Experts. Co-operatioh between nations and be- twaen clentists, lawmakers and the public was the keynote of the formal opening in Memorial Continental Hall last night of the American Associa- tion for the Advancement of Science, which began its seventy-ninth general convocation. The princinal speaker was Secretary Hughes, who emphasized. the value of international co-operation in sclentific attainment. Dr. Charles D. Walcott, retiring president of the assoclation. apoke on “Science and Service” and the néed of teamwork between the sclen- tist and the public toward the solution of the great problems of the day. A new era “of international co-op- eration in the scientific field.” which cannot fall to “add strength to the influences which make for better un- derstandings between peoples” was forecast by Secretary Hughes in his address. Nations Back Co-operation. fr. Hughes based his statement on reports which, he said, revealed that the United States, England, Japan, Australia, Canada and several Eu ropean countries had taken definite steps to encourage and support scien- tific investigations as well as to help create international sclentific agencies. | The setting up of these new enter-| prises, the Secretary said, “naturally | led arrangements for special in- ternational scientific conferences.” “Thus we are at the threshold of a new era of international co-operation in the scientific field,” Mr. Hughes continued. *This cannot fail to add strength to ine influences that make for better understandings between peoples and for a desire to adjust thelr d{fferences so that they may er Jjoy thefruits of peace. 5 | “With scientific applications on | every hand, the American people are | daily winning thelr escape from the danger of being fooled. There are, it is true, many false prophets who are active in those areas of exertion where patient inquiry ane regard for facts are not prized. but their follow- ing, while strident. is apparently not increasing.

We need your | interest in knowledge for its own P sake; the self-sacrificing ardor of vour leaders; your ceameless search for truth, your distrust of phrase and catchwords: 3 rejection of every plausible counterfeit: your willingness to discard every disproved theory, however honored by tradition, while vou jealously conserve evers gain of the past against the madcap assault; your quiet temper, and above all, your faith in humanity and your zeal ‘to promote the social welfare.” Scientific enferprise, Mr. Hughes declared, promised additions to the | resources of humanity and the ad- vancement of civilization. At the same time, he pointed out, it had a close relation to war and peace-time puruits “We are deeply promotion of peace. * ¢ * I am in hearty sympathy with those who would make aggressive war a defined crime, but such definition, like other legal concepts. in order to be effec- tive, must be sustained adequately by sentiment and we make the most rapld progress as we convince the prhctical judgment that unnecassaiy resort to force is a stupid blunder. “It {s your work that points to the benefits of peaceful co-operation that are within our grasp. Sclence, it is true, forges the weapons of war and constantly develops new and more terrible instruments of destruction. But she is far more eloquent as she points to the wastes of strife, the re- tarding of progress and the vast op- portunities that are open to indus- trious peoples if they are able to abandon their mutual fears and de- stroy the artificial barriers to com- munity of enterprise. “We should think in terms of co- operation of peoples and not simply of governments, Sclence knows no po- litical boundaries; she recruits her cohquering chieftains from all climes and races.

C. Steinberg of the research laboratories of the Amer- fcan Telephone & Telegraph Co. told members of the American Physical Society-here yesterday. Experiments have shown that the higher pitched sound will be heard further, although the most delicate Instruments could not detect any difference In its initial loudness. " This is one of the mys- terles of nature the causes of which still are obscure, but which promises to be of value in the con- struction of telephone equipment. The explanation is being sought in the stimulation given to the nerve'terminals rather than to the stimulue in the outer ear problems, declaring that as a result of individual and public economic policies being predicated upon the abundance of the Unted States' natu- ral resoures minerals, forests, fur and game animals, agricultural sofls, range lands, fish and water resources, “all have been appropriated and ex- Pploited recklessly ‘and wastefully.” “The cream has been skimmed, and, all too often, the milk has been thrown away,” he asserted “Now the point has been reached where is evident that the re- Expansion can- not continue indefinitely, nor can even the present scale of consump- tion be maintained as population in- creases, unless steps are taken to replenish the supply. The pressurs of scarcity and increasing costs of exploitation demand the elimination | of wastes, the intensive utilization | of the resources that are left and! the discovery or creation of new supplies. “To obtain the results desired, it is evident that the great masses of humanity have yet 1o be educated in the sclentific method of thought and not only in darkest Africa, but here in the United States and in all countries.

Dr. Sure 1s the discoverer of “vitamin E,” which is necessary for reproduction. By depriving a mother of it, he can make her sterile, or, on the other hand, ac- complish the opposite effect by providing the necessary vitamin, he says. “I am now able, with my puri- fied diets,” he explained, “to pro- duce elther sterility or fertility among rats, on which I am ex- perimenting, and to control milk Secretion to such an amazing ex- tent that 1 can induce mothers to produce healthy young or poorly formed young, live babies or dead babies, young that will live a glven length of time or be weaned successfully.” CONTINUE AT WAR' Chicago Managements Fail to Adjust Feud Over Chalia- pin Engagement. the point Edouard Albjon, director of the Washington Opera Company, has just received two telegrams from Jacques Samassoud, music director of his or- ganization, who has been in confer- ence with Herbert Johnson, manager of the Chicago Civic Opera Company, to the effect that a proposed com- promise in the feud between the Chicago and local opera companles that has been going on ever since Mr. Albion announced that Feodor Chalfa- pin, famous basso, would appear in the role of Mephistopheles in Gou- nod's “Faust” with the local com- pany January 26, has fallen through May Ask Injunction.
