"PRoPAGANDA"

Nazi Germany responded with
unprecedented speed to the charges
made by President Roosevelt in his
speech that Adolf Hitler wants Il

and abolish the Christian taith and
all religions.
Less than ten hours after the
Presidents address was broadcast
throughout the world, the Wilhelm
strasse let loose a barrage OF coun-
ter-charges, labelling Mr.. Roosevelt
as mailman misled by British
propaganda.
Aside from the merits OF the con-
troyersy on either side, the rapid

in the United States that shy away
from it in perfect horror, and the
United States would have to take
the initiative.
It's an initiative that State Secre-

proposal TO level all export and i'm

unquestionably would create a ter

It would be, from the Jump, an

to a great extent, from Europe but
if they could swap with us on a

naturally would do business with

with our factories turning out
practically nothing byt military
and naval supplies, it wouldn't
make any immediate difference, for
we haven't the goods that our
neiehbors need. but as soon as
peace is restored we'd get simply
a flood of their orders, and, with
US buying from THEM, they'd
have the money to pay for what
they wanted.

is a row Of positive ions on the
outside Of a nerve membrane and
a row Of negative ions on the in
side.
When an impulse goes along
the nerve, no matter whether I'M
tiated by electricity, or heat, or
cold, or volihon Of the will, the
galvauometer records reflections
which probably represent ions
passing through the membrane
and neutralizing the ions on the
other side. II is like the burning
of a powder fuse, but unlike the
fuse, the nerve has the remark

replacing the ions, and in as little

it will conduct another impulse

Measuring Brain Waves
Brain waves can be measured
Dy very delicate electric recording
instruments. Small metal plates
are attached TO the outside of the
scalp and are connected by wires
10 a powerful electric amplifer.
The amplifier strengthens the
brain currents enough TO make
them work recording device
which writes the waves with pen
on a moving sheet of paper.
To get such a record, the electric
brain waves must be amplified ten
thousand billion times, 50 the brain
waves themselves are very feeble,
and to record them, the person
whose waves are being measured
must be screened in from all out
side electrical disturbances.
Every person can be shown to
have brain waves that differ in
character from every other per
son. So your brain autograph is
just as characteristic as your pen
manship or your finger prints,
which certainly is reasonable.
Basic Waves
Everyone, however, has certain
basic waves in common. The most
prominent waves have frequency
Of 8 TO y vibrations per seconG
and are known as alpha waves.
Concentrated thinking brings on
another type Of waves with a fire.
quency Of % to 35, the beta waves.
While you are resting, quietly,
with the eyes closed, thinking of
nothing, the record shows alpha
waves. If you are asked a ques-
ton and you open your eyes and
answer it, the alpha waves are
displaced by beta waves, and then
if you relax again, the alpha
waves come back. If someone gives
you a problem in mental arith-
metic the record shows nothing
but beta waves.
Already these records are being
used in practical medicine. The
brain waves Of an ep!leptic are
very different from those Of a nor
nal person. New fields in every
department of psychology and
psychiatry. in criminology and
sociology are opened up by these
discoveries.
