New Zealand and thence by steamer
to the center Of operations on the

He said that to reach the South
Pole it probably would be necessary
to fly at a height of 1000 feet. and the
winds would make flying difficult and
hazardous. But the difficulties slim
ulated his imagination because of the
results he hoped to obtain. His party

In his farewell speech over the

Hero-worshiping persons, despite the
rain, waited outside the building where

Negotiations Explained.

negotiations Explained.
An account of the negotiations that
preceded the issuance of the Ford
statement was given in a statement
issued at Saranac Lake by Mr.. Mar
shall through the Jewish Telegraph
Agency.
Mr.. Marshall said he had told Earl
J. Davis and Joseph Palma of New
York, both friends of Henry Ford, -
that "a complete retraction of all the
false charges made, an apology, a dis
continuance of the attacks and amends
of the wrong" would be necessary be-
fore peace could be established.
Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Palma, Mr.. Mar.
shall said, STATED that Ford was
satisfied that those whom he had put
in charge of the Dearborn Independ-
ent had taken advantage of him by
publishing a series of articles attack.
ing the Jews, and as he had been con-
WINGED that all of the charges made
against them individually and col,
lectively were without foundation and
unjust he wished to know what could
be done to put an end to these con
ditions.
II stated very fully the gross In
Justice and harm that had been done
by these publications, both here and
abroad. told him that the Jews had
been grievously wounded by these
libels and that mere words would not
heal the injury.
There followed further discussion
over the telephone and otherwise
with the result that on Tuesday OF
last week I was told that Ford was
ready to sign the document which
received on Friday of last week with
a letter addressed by Ford to Davis
asking him and Palma to deliver his
signed statement to me-"
Retraction Is Accepted.
Mr.. Marshall wrote Mr.. Ford on
July 5: "The statement which you
have sent me gives us assurance OF
your retraction of the offensive
charges, of your proposed change OF
policies in the conduct of the Dear
born Independent, of your future
friendship and goodwill, of your de
sire to make amends, and, what is to
be expected from any man of honor
you couple these assurances with a
request for pardon. So far as my
influence can further that end, it will
be exerted."
Mr.. Sapiro, in Saskatoon, Saskatche-
wan, in announcing negotiations were
under way to drop his $1,000 900
ection, added that Mr.. Ford's an
nouncement will do much to lessen
the harm that has been done"
Mr.. Ford and w. ]. Cameron, editor
of the Ford publication, were reported
away from Detroit and indications
were that they had gone together.
Previously the editor declared that he
had not been instructed to discontinue
anti-Jewish articles.
Arthur Brisbane, through whom the
retraction was released to newspapers,
said he had nothing to do with pre-
pairing Mr.. Ford's statement" and
did not know it had been written
until Mr.. Ford sent it TO me two days
before l published it."
"On May H." Mr.. Brisbane said
''Mr Ford told me he had made up his
mind to discontinue in any publication
owned by him all articles such as
those that had given offense to Jews
He added that If his orders were VIC
lated he would quote his words
shut the thing down completely and
throw out the machinery.

CALSHOT SOUTHAMPTON. July
9.-Work on Capt. T. F. Courtney's
Donier Napier Whale, the broad
beamed metal flying boat with which
he hopes to accomplish new ana
difficult air venture. the first west
ward flight across the Atlantic, was
resumed here feverishly today.
Pegged down securely to Bleaching
trolley of the type used at the royal
air force base for landing service
motorboats, the Whale was given over
to radio men and experts in the install
latiOn of navigation instruments. One
of the most interesting and important
devices which was installed today was
the direction finder. This device,
operated by radio, enables a pilot to
keep his course under the worst posi-
BILE conditions. On the darkest OF
nights the navigator can obtain his
exact position by calling for signals
from ships. The strength or weak
ness of the signals, received through
phones strapped to his ears, enables
him to determine the distance Of the
plane from the ships.
The range of Capt. COurtney's In
struments, which include the direc.
ton finders, a radio transmitting set
and an all.round receiving set, will
vary according TO atmospheric condi-
tiOns.
Can Talk 500 Miles.
Can't. Courtney declared today that
under ordinary conditions he will be
able to communicate with Atlantic
liners over distance of between 500
toll MS
details of progress of the flight are
to be sent out by Capt. Courtney.
Two aerials are to be carried aboard
the Whale. One of rectangular
shape will be used for the receipt and
transmission of signals for the direc-
tion.finder. The other, which will be
suspended below the machine and
weighted to keep 1t clear of the tail
of the machine, will send and receive
Capt. COurtney's communications with
the outside world during his long
flight across the Atlantic.
AS the plane Is all metal, experts
had little difficulty today in installing
gadgets from which to suspend the
various scientific instruments. Upon

making n landing on one wheel, one
of the rarest feats in aviation.
SkillfullY Reiss f!Oated the plane in,
holding it just above the stalling speed

made. He dipped the plane over on
the right side in order to balance it
on one wheel. AS it came in contact
with the ground it rolled a little and
then the plane lost it's balance. The
