was a great difference between the
text I used and the one my fa

greater difference marks the lat

and rigid through the lStn cen

by modern experimentation and
mathematical studies. And the
man who made one of the first

new knowledge of physics was Dr.

vote of the general assembly's full

the Russian groups with "great
sadness," but that the assembly
should go ahead and set up the
committee. Belgian Premier Paul

The Russian position was dis
