HOW HIGH CAN MAN RISE?

The highest altitude achieved by
man in a balloon was the strasto-
sphere height of 1900 feet at
tanned by the gallant and Inflated
Soviet balloonists. How much
higher can man rise with larger
balloons, and what is the outside
limit that can be achieved?
The answers to such questions have
been computed by DR.. L. B. Tucker
man Of the National Bureau Of
Standards He estimates that about
100000 feet (l9 miles, is the high
est that man can expect to go with
present techniques. He points out
that the problem is very complex,
since a balloon increases in weight
as it is made larger. And as the
height attained increases more bal
last has to be carried so that the
balloon and its human cargo may
come back safely to the earth. In
addition, at great heights in the
stratosphere, the temperature gets
warmer insead Of getting colder and
that further complexities matters.
DR.. Tuckerman gives the follow
ing data on balloons designed to
reach various heights. To reach a
maximum height Of $4,000 feet. a
balloon with a diameter Of 179 feet
is required and a weight of $500
pounds. Such a bag would carry
100000 cubic feet of gas and
2, 100 pounds of ballast.
To attain a height of 10000 feet,
the balloon would have to have q
diameter Of 278 feet and would
weigh 1880 pounds. It's ballast
would amount to 1920 pounds and
its gas capacity would run to
10000, 900 cubic feet.
An altitude of 100 900 feet seems
to be the highest that can be
achieved. To reach this height, a
balloon weighing 22,300 pounds
would be required and its diameter
would reach 373 feet. The neces-
Sary ballast would amount to 1900
pounds and the giant bag would
have a capacity of 27,20O.0 900 cubic
feet.
Larger balloons seem to be out
of the question. There is first the
gigantic size of the bag itself
Secondly, there is the increasing
amount of ballast that must be on
hand to check a too sudden descent
when the pressure contracts the
hydrogen gas and the warmer air
still further robs it Of lifting power
The few notifications that might
be introduced, such as carrying
liquid hydrogen as ballast, and when
necessary evaporating it within the
balloon to add to its buoyancy, and
the use of silk instead Of cotton for
the fabric, might increase the
maximum altitude another 10000
feet. But if man is to venture
higher than 20 miles, then he will
have to take to some rocket device.

BY JOHN L. sPIvAK

FARMERS throughout the country,
L particularly in the South and the
Middle West, are as bewildered by
the crumbling of the economic sys-
tenn as the business men and the
workers in the mills, mines and
factories of the land. During the
survey which I made for The New
Masses this spring and summer
1 found that many farmers, in try
ing to understand the causes of the
depression, placed the blame upon
the international Jewish bankers"
There was the Nebraska farmer
who expressed the attitude Of so
many others. I had asked him
what he thought caused the de-
preston and he answered promptly:
"I'n tell you. It's the Jews"
IT don't quite understand" I re-
turned. Your Jewish population
in Nebraska is pretty small. How
do you blame the loss of your land
on the Jews?'
The farmer explained. He had
lost his land for non-payment of
taxes. The local banker in his
community was friend of his, This
banker assured him that he (the
banker did not want to foreclose.
MY banker told me that if he
did not foreclose bigger banker in
Chicago would foreclose on him.
The bigger banker in Chicago was
forced to do that because still bigger
bankers in the East-in New York
threatened to foreclose on him.
And the biggest bankers are Jewsl"
He paused, spat a mouthful of
chewing tobacco, and looked at me
triumphantly.
Look" he continued. who is
secretary of the treasury? Morgen-
THAI! A jew! Who is the Gov
ernor of your state? Lehman A
Jew bankerl Who is the biggest in
ternational banker in the country?
Warburgl A Jew"
He motioned with his hands as
if that settled the discussion.

Milo Reno, Leader of Farmers Holiday AssO-
citation, Told Midwest Farmers That Jews
We're Responsible for Their Troubles

Jew profoundly developing hatred
of this race.
Reno went through the farming
area, particularly in Iowa, telling
groups that the Jews we're respon-
sible for their troubles. The devel-
opment of anti-semitism in Iowa,
Nebraska and other areas in the
Midwest became so great as a re-
suit Of this anti-semitic propaganda,
that Jews living in that area
pleaded with Henry Wallace (now
Secretary of Agricultural to talk to
Milo Reno and explain that the
Jews were no more responsible than
the Chinese.
IN THE latter part of June, 1888,
l Wallace and Rabbi Eugene Man
heimer Of Des Moines met with the
Farmers Holiday leader. Milo Reno
told them vigorously that "the Jews
invented 'usury' and were conse-
quently responsible for the farmers
troubles" The Jew, Reno insisted.
is the author of all that the farmer
is suffering from today.
What the present Secretary of
Agriculture did not know, what the
Des Moines Rabbi nor the farmers
following Reno did not know, is that
this leader had been working hand
in glove with the anti-semitic or
ganization known as the American
Fascists, whose leaders seek to over
throw the government of the United
States by force as soon as they are
thoroughly organized!
The American Fascists have an
other name by which they are more
commonly known The Crusaders
for Economic Liberty (or the White
Shirts headed by the eccentric
George w. Christians, with head
quarters in Chattanooga, Tenn.

espionage system of its own directed

"But there are Others" I MUIR
INJURED Morgan, Rockefeller"
"They are controlled by the inter-
national Jewish bankers" the farm
er insisted. THE Jews have a
worldwide conspiracy among them
selves to wreck the economic sys-
tenn, capture all the gold in the
world through their banking inter-
ests and thus gain supreme control
of the whole world"
WHAT this bewildered farmer was
" telling me was what he had
been told by those reading the
protocols of Zion" The farmer did
not know the protocols had been
proved to be forgeries. He was not
an economist. He did not under
stand the economic forces which
wrecked his prosperity, which
caused him to lose his land. The
average American, found, does not
reason economically and when some
one tells him Of a definite entity
which caused the depression-like
worldwide conspiracy of Jewish
bankers-he can grasp at that.
Leaders of farmers, unless they
want to advocate the overthrow of
the capitalist system, must find
reasons to account for the farmers
plight, and many of these leaders
seize upon the international Jew"

A NOTE ON THE SINGING BEE

DR.. J. G. Myers Of the Imperial
College Of Tropical Agriculture in
Trinidad has carried out expert
ments with bees that explode the
old belief that bee can only sting
once, and then afterwards it dies.
He induced bees to. sting handker-
chiefs, insects and frogs. Even
when the same bee stung several
tunes, the bee usually recovered
and its sting was none the worse
for the experience. The only vaTia-
ton in the experiment occurred
when DR.. Myers was unexpectedly
stung IN soft spot. He jumped
backwards so suddenly perhaps be-
cause it was unexpected and I
acted more violently than our other
subjects, that the sting was left in
the wound" The poor bee was
crushed, of course, as the expert
menter sat upon it in his surprise.

by c. F. Fulliam of Muscatine,
Iowa, has been intensive in the dis
tribUtion of anti-semitic propa-
ganda, working all the while with
Nazi agents in the United States.
When Henry Wallace became
Secretary of Agriculture he had too
much power and influence for Milo
Reno TO oppose too openly; and
when Wallace called Reno's stten-
ton to the results of his Hate the
Jew" creed, Reno decided to break
away from the White Shirts and
their fostering of race hatred. Leon
Vanderlyn, esident Secretly,
Northeastern Division of the Farm
ers Holiday Association. New York
City, under the name of the Asso-
ciated Liberal Groups of Greater
New York, spoke for Reno in the
discussions between the farmers
leader and the head of the White
Shirts espionage system.
AT THE beginning of February,
"a 1884, Fulliam wrote to Vanderlyn
in part:
Do you really know what Fas-
cism is or do you accept what all
avenues of publicity in the hands
of the enemies of the American
people want you to believe? Many
organizations and movements are
labelled Fascist that are no more
that than you claim to be. FaS-
cism is modern natiOnalism. Fas-
cism is not foreign importation.
1t is a world idea. 1t is not even
a new creed. 1t is new method.
Fascism is the modern adapta-
ton of an old creed. 1t is the
creed of all for each and each
for all. 1t is essentially a "spir-
itual rebirth." An "enlightening.
Every Aryan world power today
is organizing its own type of Fas-
cism according TO its needs and
the psychology of its people. 1t
is the answer Of the White Races
fighting to maintain their World
Supremacy and their Christian
Culture and civilization to the In
ternational Financialism and the
International MARKHAM COmmu-
niSm of the International Jewry
which seeks to destroy white SUI
premacy. The entire world is a
battle-ground and International
Jewry has no one to blame but
themselves for what Is happening,
for they have industriOusly for
many years been sowing the
whirlwind of which they will reap
the harvest. Although now in
control of America in every walk
of life, they must relinquish their
control over us and recede from
the key positions that they now
occupy or suffer the consequence
of their own action.
Bearing in mind that the Secre-
tary of Agriculture had warned him
about tanning the flames Of race
and religious hatred in this coun-
try, Milo Reno instructed Vanderlyn
to break away from this Fascist
group.
