Admiral Thomas C. Hart and Shanghai Consul General Clarence E. Gauss, who were about to leave on Admiral Hart's Flagship U. S. S. Augusta for Manila for talks with Commissioner Sayre. The subject: what should...
...Philippines and the U. S., has recently grown rapidly. If Japan plans to move in the day after the U. S. moves out, why move out? This week Commander in Chief of the U. S. Asiatic Fleet Admiral Thomas C. Hart and Shanghai Consul General Clarence E. Gauss sail for Manila aboard U. S. S. Augusta for consultations with Francis B. Sayre, U. S. High Commissioner to the Philippines, on the subject of U. S. interests in Asia, and the extent to which the U. S. should stand watch over Allied interests. Last week France followed the lead of Great...

One reason for this is that the Leyden researchers work with magnetic fields up to 27,600 gauss (magnetic units), whereas Dr. Giauque must get along with 8,000 gauss until his university finds the money to string bigger power lines into his lab oratory. Another reason is that Giauque does not regard the pursuit of absolute zero as a competitive stunt, but as a means of studying entropy...
