BARTER AGREEMENT
Washington, To-day.
Fulfilment of the terms of the Anglo-American barter agreement may, owing to a complicated Congressional situation, be delayed indefinite- ly if a proposal being considered by the Com- mitte is adopted, according to some Congres- sional leaders.

The banking currency committee House representatives are consider- ing a proposal to form an .amend- ment in the existing legislation au- thorising the Government to dispose of surplus cotton to Britain; should it be adopted, it is said that there is a likelihood of a deadlock in the Senate, as a result of which nothing could be done to implement the agreement until the next session of Congress.

These sightless troops are to be trained to take charge of the so- called "aerophones," sound-detec- tors by means of which the direc-

The formation of these blind detachment to man the sound-detec tors in wartime is the outcome of experiments made by the technical service of the Italian Navy which revealed that blind persons, who were less distracted by external impressions, worked far more

The paper stresses that there can be no question of expulsion but only of "orderly transfer" of inhabitants whose wishes will be fully taken into account.
