  3. The available data (Dahl,et al., ref. (2) ; indicate that the φ has less than 20% polarization in our energy region. We can check this result, because we can calculate the angle0 e between the electrons in the φ rest system and the normal to the φ-production plane. Our distribution of0 e gives the maximum likelihood of zero polarization, well consistent with the above-mentioned data.
