that any but Italy. and perhaps Portugal,
would receive such political ambassadors,
who in many cases would be their own
citizens. And as for running Nazi poll
ticians into ofiicial functions on the coat
tails Of diplomats, Germany will only
find herself cut OF from the means
which she needs so badly for improving
understanding of Germany abroad. Ger
man diplomats would be ignored, So
cially and officially, before their party
henchmen would be admitted.
The whole scheme appears merely as
a disingenuous method of solidifying the
forces of Nazi propaganda abroad and
strengthening the Germanist movement
which aims to compel allegiance to the
Reich on the part Of every expatriated
German and person Of German descent.
Democratic countries will not permit
this artful invasion of their sovereignty
and the imposition upon them of the
Nazi concept of unity of party and state.

Nazi Naivete.

Not content to make their grip upon
Germany complete within its territorial
confines the Nazi regime, through the
partys foreign section, has now under
taken to tighten its hold upon Germans
in every part of the world with the de-
mand that every country recognize and
protect National Socialist party oficials
and groups in their territories As repre-
sentatives of the German Reich.
The enunciator of this ingenious plan
is Ernst wilhelm Bohle, chief of the
foreign section of the Nazi party, which
has recently been merged with the for
eign ONCE of the German government.
He insists upon virtual diplomatic status
for the leaders Of these NaA-sympathiz-
ing organizations such as the Volksbund,
which has been the center of such great
recent controversy In America.
According to Herr Bohle foreign gov
ernments must accept Nazi party ofhcials
on the same basis as German diplomatic
representatives, and the latter are not
to accept invitations to official affairs
If the chief Of the local section of the
National Socialist party Is not invited.
This development is particularly I'M
portant," he DEGREES in finest Maxi arro-
gance, because it demonstrates that no
other state has the means to forbid Ma
tional Socialist groups. German
party organizations in other countries,
therefore, have = character resembling
that of diplomatic legations"
1t is to be hoped that the democratic
governments Of the world, particularly
that of the United States, will waste no
time in spiking any such attempt at
glorincation Of Maxi stooges. Herr Bohle
reveals surprising ignorance Of diplo-
matte practice, especially the fact that
such representatives must be persona
erata with the government to which they
are accrediteft It y hardly conceivable

STARS, MEN AND ATOMS
Notebook of Science Progress in Field,
Laboratory and Study.
BY THOMAS X. HENRY.

After fifty years the Stars and Stripes
will fly once more this Winter from Fort
Conger on the desolate coast OF Grinnell
Land, far within the Arctic Circle and
near the North Magnetic Pole.
This was the scene in the Winter Of
1928 of the desperate battle against
starvation Of little company of Army
enlisted men under command of Lieut.
who died in Washington two years ago.
The same station is to be occupied
again by twelve Americans headed by
C. J. MacGregor, meteorologist of the
United States Weather Bureau. who con-
Quoted observations at Point Barrow, on
the Arctic Coast Of Alaska, during the
international polar year of 1888. Mr..
MacGregor now is on his way north.
The expedition is privately financed and
he is on leave from the Weather Bureau,
but he is working in active cooperation
with this Government agency and with
the Carnegie Institution of Washington.
The expedition is entirely scientific In
character. Some Of the most stubborn
problems Of weather forecasting depend
on events which take place within the
Arctic Circle, especially in the upper air.
Ordinarily it is impossible to obtain re-
ports Of these.
Far different are the prospects Of this
expedition and that of Gen. Greeley.
Times have changed since 1883. Then
the little military party was completely
cut of from any communication with
civilization. They were at an unknown
spot in an unknown land-a place of
utter desolation. This party will be in
communication with the rest of the world
twice daily and within few hours from
civilization by airplane. They will live
in relative luxury through the long
Arctic night.
The work will be in part continuation
Of that carried on by Mr.. MacGregor for
the Weather Bureau at Fort Barrow.
Mr.. MacGregor and eleven assistants
sailed on the three-masted schooner, Gen.
A. w. Greeley. This schooner of 200
tons was built for trading in the Arctic.
Her frame is extra strong and her hull
encased by two extra sheaths of oak
planking Sails will be depended on
during the greater part Of the voyage
to the North, with occasional assistance
from two 40-horsepower marine engines.
The expedition is well provisioned. Mr..
