j. S. GIVEN HINT TO
ERASE EUR0PE'S DEBT
Lloyd George Pleads England Can't
Clear Allies While Paying
Obligations Here

London.-Ihe British foreign office
has issued the text of an important
note on the question Of interallied
debts. Though not formally addressed
TO the Washington government, having
been ostensibly meant only for some
Of the allied and associated powers, it
evidently is intended primarily for con
sumption in the United States.
The note places on formal record, on
the eve OF the coming conference be-
tween Premier Poincare and Prime
Minister Lloyd George, with represent
atives of Itafy and Belgium, the British
governments views on the interallied
Indebtedness and reparations.
BriefL, the policy advocated is that
1t would be unjust to the British tax
payer to ask him to forgive allied war
debts while at the same time he was
required to shoulder the indebtedness
to America.

E, or so long as the working range
falls within straight line portion OF
the characteristic curve, symmetrical
changes in grid potential will cause
symmetrical changes in plate current.
From this it can be seen that if the

the bend of the characteristic curve.
symmetrical changes in grid potential
will not cause symmetrical chi -ges in
plate current. Since the plates cent

In applying amplifiers to. ri ting

distortion is n of the greatest diff
fculties to overcome. Too strong
signals will result in decreased am
p%liication. In Figure %, if the APP
piled variation in grid potential were
10 times that shown in the example.
the plate current would not change
10 times as much, because OF the
bends in the curve, due to saturation.
Finally, a condition can be reached
where the use of an empliier tube
will decrease the signal strength be-
cause of the s~atnration of the tube.
The rectified incoming signals would
be louder without the use of the ampIi-
fer tube, because of the inability Of
the plate current of the tube caused
by saturatiOn to increase in ropor
ton to the signal strength.
There are, in general, two factors
that can be taken from the charac-
curve and the second is the

R. R. EXECUTIVES
REJECT PEACE PLAN
Government Regards Situation Criti-
cal ln Combination With Coal
Walkout

Observation-Disclosures Harding has
the rail strike problem back in his
hands as a result of the refusal of the
railway executives at their meeting in
New York to accept the administration
settlement plan so far as the seniority
issue is concerned. There was no in
dication at the White House as to what
move. if any, the government planned
to make in the situation. 1t was con-
sidered probable that Mr.. Harding
would study carefully the text of the
executives reply and that expected
from the labor leaders meeting in Chi
cago, before reaching a decision.
From the government viewpoint,
the railroad strike is regarded as i'm
ing stoppage of coal production and
there have been constant limitations
that the administration would be dis
posed to force a quick settlement Of
the railroad difficulties in order to
cope with the coal stoppage. even at
the cost of some re-establishment of
the former control of railroads.
Cabinet members n associates OF
the president have emphasized sharply
the contrast between their view of the
seniority issue and that taken by the
railroad executives. as expressed in
public statements of railroad heads
that the granting of the strikers de-
mands for a return of full seniority
rights would necessitate the discharge
of scores of thousands of efficient
workers hired to take their places have
been flatly denied in informal discus
sions with newspaper correspondents.
1t has been further represented in some
government circles that such men as
have been hired are of a character and
capacity which would make them suit
able as permanent employees.

VACUUM TUBE when
USED AS AMPLIFIER
1t viii Function Thus for Either
Radio Frequency or Audio
Frequency.

Starting today we shall give a de
.ailed description Of the vacuum tube
when used as an ampliier. This series,
as In the past, is continuous and If
clipped out and saved will be con
7enient for reference.
When the th~ree-electrode u
lube was used as a detector, the cir
cults associated with it were such
hat where a symmetrical alternating
difference was applied to the grid,
a symmetrical change in plate current
resulted. That is to say, the vacuum
lube acted as a rectifer. In addition
70 rectifying, the tube also amplified.
The variation In plate circuit was *"
where tx" is the amplification con-
slant of the tube, times what it would
nave been in a ~two-electrode tube, for
The same potential impressed on the
grid.
BY properly adjusting the electrical
constants Of the circuits associated
with a three-electrode tube, symmetri-

ton of the curve determines the am
plification of the tube. The nor
nearly vertical the straight portion
Of the curve is, the greater will be
the change in plate current for q
given change in grid potential, or in
other words, the louder will be the
response in the telephone receivers
corresponding to a given received
signal. The length of the straight
portion of the curve determines the
maximum variation in grid potential
that will cause the tube to function
properly without distortion.
The Kevin courier. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1922, 1922-08-09

| cal variations of grid potential can be
made to produce symmetrical varia-
ton In plate current, which are "K''
times the amplitude Of the plate cir
cult variations of a similar two-elec-
trode value with the same applied
grid potential. This means that if a
three-electrode value be used in the
proper circuits in a radio receiver, the
signals can be made to appear as
though the received signal is *"
times as strong as it actually is. If
two tubes are used with their proper
circuits in conjunction with a radio
receiver the received signals will APP
pear to be TX" times as strong as they
actually are and so the apparent
strength of the incoming signal is
multiplied by "K'' for each additional
tube added to the receiver circuit.
A yacuum tube used in conjunction
with a circuit that will cause the plate
current to vary in exact proportion
to the applied grid voltage, but APP
parently caused by tx" times the ac-
tual grid voltage variation, is called
an amplifier. If the tube functioning
as an amplifier is used 10 amplify the
incoming signal at radio frequency be-
fore it is rectified by the detector, 1t
is termed a radio frequency amplifier.
If the tube functioning as an amplifier
is used after the incoming radio fire.
ouency has beer rectified by the de-
tector. it is termed an audio frequency
amplifier.
Returning again to the character
istic curve of the three-electrode vac
uum tube, shown in Figure %,
notice its shape. Suppose that a pos
tive potential was applied to the
grid by means of a "O' battery so
that the tube would function at a
point represented by "a" on the
characteristic curve. If 0 the ap-
piled grid potential from the &c" bat

resented by ALB in Figure % the
corresponding reduction in plate cur

sented by A-C, where A-C equals BIC,

Hoover, who attended the session Of
the road executives at New York, saw

Other cabinet members who saw the

TIPS TO RADIOISTS

At Muncie, Ind, bacon was
fried by means of a radio cur
rent. At last an explanation for
that frying noise.
Clifford Pinchot, nominated for
governor of Pennsylvania by the
vote of the people, acknowl-
edges his great Indebtedness to
the radio. A primary coil no
doubt played an important part.
An inventor of Chicago claims
to have invented radio apparatus
that permits of successful com
municatiOn with the spirits.
We hope that the anti-prohibi-
tionists will not misinterpret
this claim.
The police department of
Portland, Ore, has asked for an
appropriation for radio receiv-
ing and broadcasting stations
and to equip the police automo-
biIes with radio apparatus. Cop
per wire, it is needless to say,
will be used.
Lord Northcliffe, famous Eng
lish editor, in speaking of the
future of journalism, recently
predicted that radio would have
an effect upon the publication
of newspapers that will equal
the invention of the linotype
and h~igh-speed press. He said
that radio would undoubtedly
come into general use of news
papers and newsgathering agen-
cies.
