the scientists findings might
be the parallel between the eff
fects Of this laboratory isola-
ton and the effects Of lonely,
isolated duty endured by serv-
icemen in the cold Canadian
north.
Another might be the lapseS
which occur when a man must
give prolonged attention to an
unchanging environment, such
as a radar operator who must
watch his screen for several
hours continuously. After a
while. he will make errors in
judgment similar to those
made in tests administered to
the volunteers during the Nc
Gill experiments.
Several nations military au-
thorities, whose troops may
be subjected to the Oriental
Communists version of the old
oubhette. probably could learn
something from the expert
mentS. too. That may be why
some aspects Of the research
project remain highly CLASH
fed.
First Step
During the first hours of
their voluntary confinement,
the student subjects would
sleep. Then they would sing,
whistle. and talk to themselves.
They soon found concentrated,
directed thought difficult If not
impossible.
Then the Authorizations
would come.
They came in varied form.
They started in dots of lights,
lines, or simple geometrical
patterns.
One subject saw "a row Of
little yellow men," Two others
beheld a prehistoric forest,
peopled with dinosaurs and
other monstrous beasts. An
others field Of vision became
crowded with an unbroken
series of stylish, upswept horn
trimmed glasses.
One student reported a
snowy country scene. In 1t.
an arm suddenly shot up out
of an open manhole, started

picking postage stamps OF a
clothes rack.
AT first. they leaned back
and enjoyed it," reported the
McGill psychologists. But
then, some began to complain
about it: these Authorizations
kept them from sleeping"
At the same time, a tempo
rary deterioration in mental
ability became evident. Over
their earphones, the subjects
were given anagrarns to do;
they were asked to rearrange
the letters of a word to form
new words. but with strict Or
ders to exclude plurals and
foreign words.
Rules Disreeorded
In the later stages Of the ex-
pertinent, the subjects came
up with almost as many new
words. but began to break the
rules Of the game frequently
in their attempts.
Elaborate precautions were
taken to cut of any stimuli.
II the subjects sat up on the
cot. they were told to lie down.
They wore gloves. Long card
board cuffs extended from
their elbows 70 their finger
tips. to eliminate the possibili-
ty Of exploring their environ
ment through their fingertips.
The goggles prevented nor
NAL sight, and the foam rub
Der headrest shielded them
from the sounds of everyday
life.
ive-Doy Limit
Attracted by the $40 daily
stipend. the McGill students
volunteered for a week apiece.
But five days was the limit for
the hardest Of them. A few
hours was enough for many Of
the others. ....
The experiments, begun two
years ago. are still continuing.
THE brain, to function nor
mally. must have close contact
with its environment. Other
wise. it deteriorates in func-
ton" That is the tentative
conclusion of the psychologists
who are supervising the ex-
perimentS.

about half of what it did in
1887.
Startling statistic number
three:
. West Germany sold more
goods to Red China in 1853
than any other Western na-
ton.
She sold about 50 million
worth more goods to China
than did the United Kingdom,
but about four times less than
Hong Kong. The latter crown
colony of Britain, which re-
exports British goods. exported
about $50 million worth of
goods to Red China in 1858.
But included in these re-ex-
ports were also goods from
many other countries. such as
West Germany.
France is the only other
Western nation in the same
China trade league with Ger
many and Britain. But her
$12 million sales to China were
only half those Of Germany.
Most of the other West Eu-
ropean nations and the United
States have had little to export
to China. The United States
exported exactly nothing to
China in 1853. And our i'm
ports fell from $27 million in
1852 to scarcely half a million
dollars worth last year.
Whot Germony Sold
What kind of things did
Germany sell to Red China in
1858? Were they strategic
goods in any sense of the
word? Under the Battle Act.
United States-aided nations
caught sending certain speci-
fled strategic" goods to the
Soviet bloc will have that aid
withdrawn. Also, trade with
the Soviet bloc is supervised
by hush-hush self-regulating
group of free nations sitting
in Paris. Germany's exports,
apparently. passed inspection
although British businessmen
report from London they cam
not obtain export licenses.
Whatever the finely drawn
line between strategic and
non-strategic, German trade
statistics show that West Ger
many exported more than SIS
million worth of sheet iron,
SO million worth of optical in
struments. a million dollars
worth of steel bars and shapes
and SIS million worth of
pharmaceuticals. She bought
about SIP million worth Of
non-edible and vegetable oils
and 81 million worth of dried
eggs.
The Randall Commission on
foreign economic policy takes
a dim view of free nations
such as Germany and England
trading with China. The
commission in its recent re-
port says we must wait until
present threats to our security
and that of other free nations
in those areas have been re-
moved"
This raises an interesting
question: Does the cease fire
III Korea constitute a removal
of a present" threat?
West Germany's return to
the China trade. in which she
did so we'll before the war, was
rather sudden but in NO way
mysterious. 1t is just another
sign of Germany's remarkable
industrial resurgence. unen-
numbered by arms manufac-
ture. And she is able to under
seQ her competitors, such as
Britain.
There are several reasons
for this:

due to the refugee influx from

German Trade With Red Chino -
Exports Have Increased More Than 900 Per Cent Year.
Commerce Level Now Near the Comfortable Prewor Rote

A few months ago a German
in China who had fed from
Hitler's Germany to the Orient
in the mid-l930s. took a trip.
He went home at last to West
Germany. But it was not just a
sentimental journey. It was
the first half of b round trip,
a business trip.
That businessman-neither
NaZi nor Communist and ap-
parently undiSturbed by to-
days conflicting ideologies
when it comes to trade-is a
symbol of the Western Ger
many that is doing business
with Mao Tse-tung's China.
While men and nations of
the West debate the feasibility
and morality of East-WeSt
trade. West Germany has
been going quietly ahead in
the past year building up a
brisk trade with Red China.
The extent of this economic
"Drang Mach Osten" Of the
new, busting West Germany
seems to be so little known in
this country by the general
public that nobody-not even
Senator McCarthy-seems to
have given much thought to
whether it is a good thing
or bad.
Stortling Statistics
Trade statistics. by and
large. are dull. but those per-
tanning to Germany and China
in 1853 appear to be those of
the stop, look and listen"
variety.
Startling statistic No. /:
Q West Germany'S exports to
Red China increased more
than 900 per cent in 1853 ouer
1852.
In 1882. West Germany. in
GLIDING West Berlin. exported
only $2.8 million worth of
goods to China. In 1858, her
exports are estimated at S25
million. These exports, rang
ing from sheet iron to
medicine. travel by sea from
Hamburg or overland through
Russia on the Trans-Siberian
Railroad. BY technical defini-
ton they are all 'non-stra-
tegic" items.
Germany has not vet
reached an advantageous
balance Of trade. that is. SELL
ing more than she buys from
China. But the goal is within
reach. Last year she was a
mere $40 million short of it:
in other words. she bought an
estimated $35 million worth Of
goods from China.
Startling statistic No. 2:
. West Germany. so far as
dollar Udlue Is concerned, has
almost reached the lerel of er-
ports to China from West
Germany in 1887.
The last good year of sub
stantial German exports be-
fore World War II swept over
Europe was 1887. In that year.
Germany - including today's
Soviet-dominated East Ger
many-exported S42 million
worth Of goods to Chang Kali
shek's China. Three-quarters
OF this amount, according to
foreign trade experts. was
from West Germany. In 1897
West Germany. with its rich
Ruhr and 1. C. Farben chemi-
calls, exported $50 million
worth Of goods to China. AL
though this would seem only
S. million dollars short of
today's West German sales to
China. the volume of goods in
1858 was about half of 1887.

of German capture of East

locomotives for India. Re-
Gently, India asked for bids
for construction of 480 loco
motives. When the bids were
opened. Germany walked off
with contracts for 270. The
210 others will be made by
Japan, Italy and Austria.
The British are still wonder
ing how they can bring their
prices down and still keep
their profits up.
Germany, incidentally, Is
not neglecting India in her
scheme of things. Her India
trade is many times that of
prewar. She sold India about
$50 million worth Of goods in
1853 and bought about $40
million worth. Five months
ago. German firms. Krupp
and Demag, signed an agree

capacity Of / million tons of

Schocht Is Beck
German investment In the
East, such as that in an auto
manufacturing plant in Indo-
nesia, and in Africa shows
signs Of increase. 1t is a safe
bet that one of the driving
forces behind such overseas
expansion is none other than
DR.. Hjalmer Horace Greeley
Schacht.
The former Reichsbank pres
ident launched Hitler's rear
mament drive by lining up the
Krupp and the Farben inter-
ests. But Schacht broke with
Hitler in 1914 and was later
acquitted of war crimes by the
Nuremberg tribunal.
Now II and still wearing
high starched collars, DR..
Schacht is back in business.
He put out his banking shin
gle of "Schacht g. Co." in
Dusseldorf a year ago. On
January 9 he got the green
light to do likewise in Ham,
burg. Since his return from
the murky postwar shadows.
Dr.. Schacht has re-emphasized
his old theory that Germany's
brightest prospects lie in the
underdeveloped areas of Africa
and Asia-"from Sarajeyo to
the Philippines"
In more ways than one. it
looks as il the push to the
East" is on. But it moves with
out. the goosestep. 1t is the
step of the German business
man-such as the refugee vino
was willing to return to Com
munist China rather than stay
home in the fatherland.
1t is the step Of the German
businessman who knows. as
does his British counterpart
who has been greatly crltl-
cized for his China trading,
that survival depends on mar
kets. And if it displeases his
American friends, well-they
have the same chance to buy
his goods as does Red China.
