Observations are presented which establish that radiation from distant galactic stars is polarized and that this polarization is independent of wave length. An attempt was made to establish a relation- ship between polarization and reddening. Although a close correlation is not evident, polarization has not been observed in unreddened stars. A possible mechanism for explaining the observations is briefly discussed
