He cited the offer Germany made to Poland for the return of Danzig and reproved the Poles for not taking advantage of it.

entirely on its own i he upper air.
 The whole instrument weighs only two pounds. The whole instru- ment, practically speaking. is lost every time a balloon is sent up.
 Balloons will be launched from the roof of the Federal Building here daily, or rather nightly. The observation will be made at Il pm. so that it is simultaneous with similar ascensions being launched all over the United States.
 Thin StratOsphere
 It takes about two hours for the balloon to go as high as it is going to go. which in most cases will be about Is miles. That is long way into the stratosphere. which here in wintertime is from six to seven miles above the Earth. At the equa- tor the stratosphere is higher, from IS to 16 miles.
 When the balloon bursts. the in- strument is floated back to earth by parachute. Heres where we touch lightly on farmers daugh- ters.
 At Oklahoma City, says Klein sasser, about 80 percent of the in struments are picked up and re- turned to the Weather Bureau. The most distant one to be re- turned was sent in from 380 miles away. But of all the instruments returned to the Bureau, there never has been one which still bore the parachute. The reason is that the parachute is made of brilliant red silk.
 Many farmers daughter says Kleinsasser, must be wearing red silk panties in Oklahoma"
 Russo adds They t>lnk it is expensive silk, but it really costs only 39 cents yard"
 Reward Offered
 The silk is red so that the in- struments can be spotted from distance. Kleinsasser and Russo don't expect very many of them to be found in Alaska A cash re- ward is paid anyone sending an instrument back to the Weather Bureau. The company which mann- lectures the instruments can use some of the parts over again.
 Three signals are sent out by the ascending instrument. One tells the temperature story, one obout the pressure and the other about hu- midity. When the balloon is close to earth, the three are the same pitch as the first three notes of the song America" It just hap pens to be that way and wasn't arranged as a patriotic gesture As the balloon gets higher, the tenn perature drops, pressure decreases and humidity varies so greatly that the radio isn't sending My coun- try" for very long It gets into other tunes.
 Besides being audible to the ob server on the ground, the signals are being recorded at the same time by means of a photoelectric cell and electric eye on piece of graph paper. Marks which an inked bar makes on the slowly moving paper show the temperature. hu midity and pressure at frequent intervals. From these readings, the observer can compute the altitude of the balloon by means of ther- modynamic diagram.

A PARTY DIVISION
SHIP BAN HURTS ALLIES
TRANSFERRING U. S. SHIPS
WAR PLANTS CONCENTRATE
NEW NAVAL AIR BASES

Repeal of the arms embargo by
Congress is past history but many
American citizens have overlook
ed the significant division upon
the issue. On an international
question, involving the foreign
relations of the United States,
eighty-six percent of the Demo
Gratis lined up with the Admins
tration for repeal and eighty
seven percent of the Republicans
in the House voted to retain the
embargo. The lineup indicates
that the Republicans, as a Party,
have taken position on the Isola-
zionist side, thus reasSerting the
position taken by the Party in the
League of Nations fight and con-
sistently maintained throughout
the whole postwar period.
The idea that recent neutrality
legislation constitutes a one-sid-
ed measure, designed to help
Great Britain and France, is hard
to down because of the spotlight
that played upon the repeal of
the arms embargo. While the
legislation permits the belliger-
ents to purchase arms in this
country, which is a gain for the
Allies, it also removes American
shipping from the Atlantic, which
means that the Allied nations
must replace the tonnage with
their own ships. This will be
done at the expense of other
shipping lines and the dislocation
of other trade routes. Moreover,
the absence of American ships
in the war zone will permit Ger
man submarines to attack mer-
chant ships with greater speed
because neutral ships in the area
can be destroyed without fearing
reprisal from the smaller nations.
Regardless of the legal ques-
tions involved, the proposed
transfer of American ships to for
eign registry in order to dodge
the restrictions of neutrality re-
ceived something of a check last
week. With the adjournment of
Congress, the people had an idea
that troublesome issues were
past, but if American shipown-
ers place their vessels under for
eign flags, a procession of ''inci-
dents" in the war-zone, it is
feared, will produce serious COM
