A6 * DAUGHTERS OF 1812 END SESSION HERE Society Approves Govern- ment’s Policy of Refusing Recognition to Russia. The National Society, United States | Daughters of 1812, concluded its 40th associate council after reports and adoption of resolutions in the Willard Hotel yesterday afternoon. The policy of the Government in re- fusing diplomatic recognition to Russia was approved in one of the resolutions, which alo opposed carrying on any trade with the Soviet. The resolution read, in part “We are not only unalterably opposed to recognition but to any trade rela- tions with the Communist dictatorship, as free American labor cannot compete successfully with the forced labor products of Soviet Russia.” This resolution also urged ‘“the strengthening of the immigrations laws to prevent the admission of Communists into this country and viding for the deportation of alien Hrmunists now in the United States.” Against “Internationalism.” Another resolution was adopted urg- ing the United States to remain free from ‘internationalism.” While em- phasizing that the Daughters of 1812 feel keenly the desirability for friend- ship between nations and cordial in- ternational relations, the resolution ex- pressed “its unalterable opposition to the domination or influencing of Amer- jcan policy, internal or external, by an association of foreign powers or by any agency created by foreign powers “We hold that none but Americans can be the judges as to what consti- tutes our country’s honor and as to what may be considered legitimate and necessary actions for the maintenance of its security and welfare. We urge that this traditional American view- point ever be kept in mind by our people and by their elected leaders, to the end that so-called ‘international- ism’ may never supplant our own na- tionalism, upon which the glory and prosperity of our Nation was founded and depends.” the resolution added. The society went on Tecord as Oppos- ing any modification of the laws or Constitution “whereby an allen may secure citizenship with any qualifica- tion as to his loyalty and duty to serve in the armed forces of the United States in time of war.” The latter resolution embodied clauses favoring more stringent requirements for aliens becoming naturalized citizens of the United States and urged that applicants for citizenship be able to read and write the English language with facility. It also asked registra- tion of all aliens and provision for pro- tection of those who entered legally and are law-abiding citizens. President Hoover was thanked in a resolution for his courtesy in receiving the delegates at the White House on Tuescay. Other Resolutions Adopted. The society voted to encourage “a study and understanding of the right- ecus motives that animated the founders of our Nation as motives worthy of emulation BY THOMAS R. HENRY. IND the leaks in the Arctic Circle. This was urged before the American Geophysical Union, | meeting here today, by Prof.| | William J. Humphreys of the | V. eather Bureau as one of the outstand- ing services to science which could be rendered during the International Polar | year, starting this Summer, when the | North Pole will be circled by observing | stations manned by scientists of 15 na- | tions. Dr. Humphreys pictured the Arctic | | Basin as the Northern Hemisphere's | | reservoir of cold. The cooled air sinks | as warmer air, pushed northward from | | the Equator, flows in on top of it. This, in turn, is cooled and sinks, forcing the | air underneath it to find an outlet. Dr. | Humphreys wants these outlets located | |50 definitely that weather forecasters | can rely upon the data. | " Such’ information, he believes, might | go far to explain some of the abnormal weather experienced in the United States | during the last three years “The case is analogous,” Dr. Hum- phreys said, “to that of keeping a reservoir with a constant supply from overflowing by means of outlet pipes— overflow along any one is just as effec- tive in keeping down the level of the water as an equal flow along any other | would be. It commonly would occur that such a reservoir would be drained more frequently, and to a greater ex-{ tent. along certain of its outlets than along others. Similarly the Arctic Basin of cold air is more likely to drain, we | believe, rlong some courses than along others. We would not expect this drain- age to be frequent and Strong across Siberia and the great highlands of Asia, in exchange with warm winds of | the ‘Indian Ocean. Neither would we | expect this change to be indifferent to | fhe extent and location of Greenland. or to the great mountain ranges of Scandinavia Four Favored Courses. would expect it to occur in 1t and greatest frequency | Along those routes first encountered by | the spreading cold air that are but little obstructed by mountain ridges or other | highland barriers. Such favored courses | presumably_are the McKenzie Basin- Mississippi Valley route from the Arctic to the Gu:f of Mexico, the Hudson Bay- Great Lakes course, the Arctic Qcean- Northeastern Atlantic Track and the Finland-Russia route “It seems practically certain that in ]mny cases outpouring of the cold air | along one of the more favorable routes | will be so excessive as to drain the | basin to such an extent that an ap- | preciable time, days at least, will be Tequired to refill it. Also an outflow | along any particular course so displaces the reservoir in that direction, and so chills that route, as to make the next | outbreak more likely to follow in the wake of the first than it otherwise would be. Perhaps in this way long spells of weather of one kind are pro- | duced in one part of the world and the | opposite kind in another—warm and dry, for instance, in the United States | and cool and wet in Europe. ‘ “These deductions appear to be so direct as to leave little room for doubt | of their truth, but many modifying fac- tors were omitted from the premises. It must be followed up by abundant obser- | vations, especially of wind direction at various heights, not only at many | places within the Arctic Circle, but | also at a much greater number in the | ‘wmprrste zone, espeeially its pclez\ard: “we greatest amou half.” | | An explanation of the origin of the great ocean currents, such as the Gulf THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, lArcth: basin, into which fall the Mac- A Job for Geophysicists ‘ DEFINITE CHECK ON OUTLETS OF COLD AIR URGED. | | PROF. WILLIAM J. HUMPHREYS. which contains the most pronounced organization of currents to be found in | any of the oceins. Of this drainage, the tropical and subtropical precipita- tion entering the seas from which the gulf stream arises is a remarkable frac- tion of all rain falling on land within the tropical rain belt. The Kongo, the Niger, the Amazon, the Orinoco and the Mississippl, which together comprise an unparalleled group of great rivers, all pour their fresh water load into the tropical Atlantic seas out of which the gulf stream, mightiest river in the ocean, originates. This is most likely a circumstance involving some effective relation between mass movements in the ocean and the salinity-density situation affected by the concentration of pre- cipitation from the atmosphere.” In other words, according to Dr. Mc- Donald’s hypothesis, it so happens that section of the globe which has the greatest rainfall to fill the greatest rivers of fresh water is drained into the Atlantic. Thus an enormous load | constantly is being placed on the waters | of that ocean, tending to “push them | out from under.” The stream, in some way, is the result of this pushing. | “Another great concentration of fresh | water,” he continued, “occurs in the kenzie and most of the great rivers of Russia and Siberia. Out of the Arctic comes the very remarkable Greenland current, that is the main source of our own Labrador current, which is itself perhaps intensified by the reaction from the fresh water outpourings from the Hudson Bay and St. Lawrence River drainage basins “Where the great rivers of Southern and Eastern Asia flow into the Pacific and Indian Oceans and along the Equa- torial belt of heavy rains in the same oceens, there are also localized ocean movements of great persistence and in- tensity.” Many Discrepancies. This phenomenon. Dr. McDonald pointed out, is essentially a return of energy from the atmosphere to the oceans. The movement of ocean cur- rents, he said, is essentially clockwise, as is also the movement of the winds above them. This has led in the past to the accepted belief that the currents are the result of the air flow. But, he irsisted, there are so many discrep- ancies in the parallel, including the facts that the areas of greatest clock- wise movement in the atmosphere do not have any ocean currents and that the counter clockwise air currents fail to ‘;mdut@ like ocean currents, that a radical revision of this theory is neces- sary. ‘glm of the Weather Bureau for icipation in the program of the nternational Polar Year were out- lined by Dr. W. R. Gregg. Observa- tions, he pointed out, are not to be con- fined to the Arctic and Antarctic regions, but as great importance is at- tached to obtaining a comprehensive record of meteorological conditions be- tween the poles. At selected points in |its great metwork of stations in the continental United States, Alaska, Hawali and Porto Rico observations will be made twice a cdy of pressure, temperature, molsture, wind, sunshine and rainfall. These will be filed with the International Polar Year Commis- sion for correlation with records from the Arctic stations.

Vening| Meinesz, celebrated Dutch geophysicist, | based partly upon evidence gathered during_ his submarine exploration of | West Indian waters this Spring. He found a great “gravity crack” along the ocean bottom. Previously he had located a similar phenomenon on the jother side of the world. “In both regions,” he said, “the sur- face evidence points to a mountain formation in an early stage. In both cases a narrow strip of Strong negative anomalies—a region where the pull of |gravity is less than normal—has been {found bordered on both sides by fields of positive anomalies—where the gravity | pull is greater than normal. It shows no direct correlation with the surface | topography. ‘This independence of the surface features indicates strongly that we have to regard it as the effect of | & great phenomenon going on in the | main crust of the earth below the surface. “A hypothesis that the main erust is buckling downward along this line appears fairly well to cover the observed | facts.
