EXPLAINED Could Have Been Attained Without War, Lamont Tells Political Science Academy. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 19.—Amer- ica’s resources, skilled labor and indus- country its present position in interna- tional finance even if there had been no World War, Thomas W. Lamont of J. P. Morgan & Co., asserted last night. Speaking at the dinner of the Acad- emy of Political Science, he said that America’s preeminence in mass pro- duction had become one of the seven wonders of the world. Points to War Days. International finance, in the modern sense, he said, has existed for America only since the early days of the World War. Befors that time the United States looked to-foreizn mations for capital with which to advance its in- dustrial and agricultural progress. The enormous excess of merchan- dise exports over imports during the war and the early years following it was an even greater factor in bringing about the change than the heavy pur- chases by American investors of Amer- ican securities held abroad, he said. In recent years Americans have been lending abroad on such a scale that the total investment of American cap- ital abroad was estimated at from $12 000,000,000 to $13,000,000,000, exclusive of war debts, Calls Theory Untrue. tion to the next Republican natior ntion, but friends of the Senator n informed of the Lowden mo said that Watson pr 1 State presidential ited this might be | indic done in ord the national conve friendly to WV, Recent nat clared Dawes, Jienn ould be n has de of Charles G. 3 os for the I nomination for President, but rade it plain ite primaries. adley, a farmer, Hoosiers 10 and Lowden did seated his » men ever m the presidency.” Uef for th the president 1920 prima Leonard Wood ifornia and Harding.

NEW YORK, November 1 The accldental starting and stopping of a toy traln by radio yesterday gave scientists something new to think about. Research engineers of the Westing- house Electric and Manufacturing Co. had arranged a demonstration of recent phases of vacuum tube develop- ment for the benefit of the New York Railroad Club. One of the stunts planned was the control of a boy's electric locomotive and string of car: by passing a hand a sensitive grid-glow tube, thereby establishing a circuit in the miniature third rail. Another trick on the program was the generation and transmission of radio power, 8. M.
