NNE reason why the end of the
~ campaign cheers me is that
not for another year will I have to
hear people say, 1--WE have builded. !"
Until somebody else is running for
something, we all can go back to
built"
I suppose one of my chief objec-
lions to elections is the extraor-
binary effect they have upon the
English language. If somebody were
to offer a gold medal for the best
diction on the stump, there would
be few contenders of any quality
However, I must admit that Nor
man Thomas, Franklin Roosevelt,
and William Browder, Communist
candidate for the United States
senate, all have the accents of ed
ucated men. Mr.. Browder prefers
to be called Bill, which is more
proletarian.
However, the fact that he once
was a school teacher still colorS his
use and choice of words And in
the case of Roosevelt, some may
object that Harvard piled on Groton
is just a shade too much.
But I am dealing with deeper
things than accents. I have in mind
the curious sea change which occurs
in any man as soon as he is
nominated. 1t makes no difference
whether he runs with an excellent
chance of election or leads forlorn
hope. Whatever his situation, he
takes on new vocabulary.

SAYS

The Election ProUes That the
Great Political Machine Set
Up IN This Country More
Than 40 Years Ago Still
Can Meet a Great Emer-
gency.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1O-The
' American people have a right
to be proud Of this election, not
because of the profound change in
public opinion which it represents.
but because the change could be
brought about with such little COM
motion.
Most observers agree that the de-
preston was largely responsible;
that bankrupt enterprises, forecIosed
homes, unemployment and poverty
altered the prevailing viewpoint;
CnaC even the rapid rise OF anti-pro-
hibitien sentiment can be traced to
this source.
If that is correct, the American
people have still greater cause for
satisfaction. 1t proves beyond
question that, whatever its defects
may be, the political machine set
up III this country more than 14O
years ago is capable of meeting a
great emergency.

Range of Waves

D Ado waves, as all radio fans
N know. cover a much larger
range than those used for ordinary
broadcasting.
The complete range runs from
waves whose length is measured in
fractions Of meter to waves more
than 10000 meters long.
The frequency of a wave varies
indirectly as the length, that is the
shortest waves have the highest fire.
quencies and the longest waves tia
lowest frequencies.
Only two portions Of the radio
range or spectrum are suitable for
intercontinental telephony, accord
ing to Gherardi and Jewett.
One, in the long wave range, ex-
tends from 10000 meters down to
5000 meters, or from about Is
kilocycles to about 100 kilocycles.
The other, in the short wave
range, extends from so meters to 10
meters, or from about 5000
kilocycles to $4,000 kilocycles.
The transmission of these two
wave ranges exhibits interesting
differences in characteristics" the
two experts say.
For the short wave lengths the
transmission is frequently referred
to as being in the form of sky
waves This is for the reason that
at intermediate distances the waves
practically may disappear near the
surface of the ground, but reappear
at greater distances.
They appear to have been carried
around the curvature of the earth's
surface by refraction or reflection
from ionized atmospheric layers.
While the action in the long,
wave range at great distance ap-
pears to be also conditioned partly
by the ionized layers, the field at
the surface of the earth falls off
continuously as the distance from
the transmitter is increased" ,

borhood merchants, am sure they

Very Short Waves
y HERARDI and ,Jewett als

HHERARDI and Jewett also say
" that interesting results are
being obtained in the use for com
munication purposes of very short
radio waves having frequencies
above 10000 kilocycles.
Such waves have lengths of less
than Is meters.
The work done to date indicates
that these frequencies are not suf-
tic1ently DETECTED from their paths
oy the atmosphere to follow the
earth's curvature" they say. p,
This characteristic appears to
prevent the use of these very short
radio waves for direct transmits
sion over long distances and limits
direct transmission to distances SO
short that the earth's curvature is
not large factor.
Where the route is over land. it
is possible that such rays NAV find
practical use in forming links in
intercontinental circuits, particu-
larly where the topography of the
country affords advantageous ele-
waited locations for intermediate re-
peater points.
TOO little now is known of these
very short waves to make their dis
cussion other than speculative. .
"An important requirement foF
radio for overseas telephone cir
cults is the avoidance of overhear-
ing.
"A number Of these circuits now
IN operation, including the trans
Atlantic group, are equipped with
privacy arrangements which so
modify the frequency disposition Of
the voice waves as to prevent over
hearing Of the conversations by
other radio stations not equipped
with similar arrangements.
Experimentshave been made with
more elaborate arrangements for
obtaining an even higher degree Of
privacy than that now provided"

Radio Used for Long Trans

TECHNICAL difficulties in the
L way Of worldwide telephony
arise not only from the fact that
long distances must be covered. but
from the fact that many Of these
distances consist Of seas or unde-
veloped land.
This fact is pointed out by Ban

and Frank B. Jewett, president of
the Bell telephone laboratories.
For years prior to establishment

that in the line reaching from New
York to San Francisco. there are
at intervals simplifying apparatus
which step up the diminishing voice
currents.
Obviously, this is not possible
when two continents are linked.
All of the existing intercontinen-
tai circuits make use of radio for
the long trans-oceanic jumps. The
first technical problem to be met.
therefore, are the problems of radio
telephony.

Prohibition Is First

THE verdict rendered at the
poles Tuesday demands little
less than a revolution in some of
our major policies. To begin, it
calls for repeal of nationwide pro-
hibition.
OF no less consequence are revised
plans for relief and recovery. Last,
it calls for a different attitude to-
ward foreign affairs and foreign
trade.
That implies rather complete
change of front by the American
people. The paternalistic idea of
government by big business and
professional reformers has been
repudiated sharply. More liberal
policies are in order, not only with
regard to domestic problems, but
foreign relations.
Very little sentiment has de-
veloped in favor of changing the
form of this government, but there
is a great deal in favor of changing
some. Of it's detectives.
