The reason the house of repre-

members of the senate have TO

Wrong Guessing.

Those traders in stocks who sought to
beat the market by guessing at the
Supreme Courts decision on the T. v. A.
issue have only themselves to blame for
their embarrassment yesterday when
their first assumption as to the effect Of
the ruling proved wrong. They inter-
preted the opening statements Of the

by such decision. They were wrong
In their Judgment of the ruling and in
consequence had to make haste to cover,
as the courts opinion proved to be to
the contrary effect on the main issue.
That was speculation, pure and simple,

early guessers were mistaken. They paid
for their mistake. Fortunately they were
the only losers. The market was dis
turbed but not seriously affected by this
spasmodic somersault. The whole per-

Torrance was just one Of those purely
professional enterprises Of speculative
buying for the purpose Of quick selling
on a broad rise, which did not occur,
such as has marked stock exchange
transactions from time immemorial. No
harm was done, save to those who missed
their stroke.
The fact that the decision was
couched in strictly judicial terms may
be accepted as evidence that the court
in the person of the Chief Justice, who
rendered the opinion Of the majority.
had no thought of the possible effect
upon the speculative market. The issue
was one of law, not of finance. Had the
ruling been preceded by syllabus in
brief terms there would have been no
possibility of misunderstanding its pur-
port. But with mind intent upon a
logical, analytical statement of the case
the Chief Justice proceeded with con-
cern only for the preparation of COM
prehensive analysis without regard for
the eagerness of the speculative guessers,
who were more intent upon the hands
of the clock than upon the final inclina-
ton of the scales of justice.

new evidence of smoldering Soviet-Jap-

Asia and warn the world afresh OF the
incessant danger of an outbreak which

American Neutrality.

Congress is holding fast to its neu-
trality law. The vote in the House yes
terday. extending until May l, 1887, the
present act, with some notifications,
was overwhelming, 1853 to 27. The res
olution so adopted will unquestionably
be accepted by the Senate, which yester-
day began debate on the subject
The resolution does not meet with the
full approval of the administration, since
it does not carry all the provisions which
had been recommended. Nor does it
meet the approval of Senator Nye and
his Munitions Committee. They wanted
the existing law materially amplified. 1t
represents, however, a compromise,
worked out in the interest Of time. The
present neutrality act expires auto
matically on February % unless Con-
gress takes action to extend its life. A
long fight over the provisions of the So
called permanent neutrality bill might
we'll run beyond the 29th of February
and the country left without the pres
ent law while the Ethiopian war still
continues.
The same sentiment in Congress for
keeping this country out of the Ethi-
opian struggle or any other foreign war
which dictated the passage of the pres
ent neutrality law last Summer is still
rampant. There is nothing to prevent
the passage by Congress of permanent
neutrality law at the present session,
after February % if it so desires
nothing except a wish to conclude the
present session and get away from
Washington. The urge to leave Wash
ington for home States and districts IS
an important factor in this campaign
year. The chances are, therefore, that
Congress, having put through the reso-
luton for the extension of neutrality
for thirteen months, will leave to the
next Congress the task of writing
permanent law.
The resolution extending the present
law makes four important changes. It
keeps the law alive until May /, 1887. 1t
clarifies the existing act, so that there
can be no question that its provisions
apply Immediately to nations that join
a conflict after it has been started by
others. 1t prohibits loans in this coun-
try for war purposes, and it exempts
from the provisions of the act all Ameri-
ican nations when they are at war with
a nation not of the Americas.
The prohibition of loans for war pur-
poses is of real importance. 1t makes
impossible the extension of credits to
belligerent nations after war has been
started, and also the purchase, sale or
exchange of bonds or other obligations
of the belligerent nations. This coun-
try is not to be drawn into any foreign
fray, if Congress has its way, through
loans made by American citizens to the
belligerents. The loaning of money and
credit is considered, too, most effective
manner of aiding belligerents, and out
side the pale of strict neutrality on the
part of the United States.
The administration fails to have writ
ten into the new neutrality measure the
provision it desired prohibiting the ship
ment Of abnormal amounts of raw ma.
terials. The embargo still applies only to
arms, ammunition or implements of war.
Evening star., 1936-02-18

Quite early in our work at the Uni
versity of Chicago we found a definite,
powerful rhythm of about three or four
per second which could be picked up
anywhere along the optic tract, but
which was demonstrable only OCCASION
ally on the surface of the cortex. 1t
never appeared in a well-lighted room
and was abruptly abolished by visual
stimulation of any sort, such as throwing
light in the cats eyes with flaShlight,
raising the window shade or, in mod
erately light room, by simply moving a
finger before the eyes. After the aboli-
ton of the rhythm it would slowly build
up again over period of few seconds
to two or three minutes, when conditions
were again favorable"
1t still is debatable whether this
rhythm is originated on the inside or
outside Of the brain, although DR.. Mar
shall Is inclined toward the latter hy-
.pothesis, for in a normally anaesthetized
cat the rhythm can be traced to the eye.
This optic rhythm is of special signifl-
canoe because it may tie in with the
So-called Berger rhythms which can be
picked up by electrodes placed on the
occipital region of the skull of con-
scious men and which disappear when
the optic tract is stimulated or when
the mind is at work. The oScillograph
pictures of this rhythm vary for indi-
viduals and may eventually have some
diagnoStic value
The work of picking up and reproduc-
ing electrical activity, conducted here by
Dr. Marshall, which is a continuation of
that done by him at the University OF
Chicago in conjunction with DR.. r. W..
Gerard, is opening up new line of ap-
proach to the study of localization and
impulse paths in the animal cortex.
Hitherto there have been only two ways
in which this could be studied-by cut
ting out parts of the brain and noting
the effect on behavior or by electrical
stimulation of the cortex itself and OBJ
servation of what happened on the out
side. For example, with certain parts
of the cortex cut away certain powers
of movement would be restricted. By
stimulating one spot in the intact brain
q finger might be made to move and by
stimulating another spot toe would
twitch.
Neither of these methods has been al
together satisfactory and interpretations
of the results obtained from them have
been debatable. Now it is possible to
work from the outside in-aS nature
does-instead of from the inside out.
Minute ears of the cerebral cortex can
be made to testify out loud about what
they are doing at any particular time.
The problems to be investigated are
both philosophical and practical. Does
the brain act as whole or do limited
areas have limited and specific func-
tions? It may be possible to shed new
light on this old and much debated issue
by the testimony of the oscillographs and
Of the loud speaker.
Moreover, work with the Berger
rhythm and various other rhythms de-
tectable on the outside of the skull
which may be discovered still is in its
infancy and already had far-reaching
implications in medicine, education, psy-
chiatry and philosophy.
