 Professor Raymond G. Gettell of the political sciencc department of Amherst college, gave, efore the Cur rent Events club Monday evening, a remarkable lecture on The United States as a World PoWer' Gifted of spe ach a specialist in politics Gin the widest application and a memt CT during the war of the national ship ping Ioard MT. Gettcll brought first hand facts which will long be remem- tered. Most interesting was his re- sume of the attitude of America to- wards foreign entanglements. As new weak nation, virtually a part of Great Britain, she was drawn into foreign conflict until after the war of 1872 She adopted the Monroe Doctrine in 1923 with it's policy of keep out of foreign affairs.' The United States devoted hC- effort from 1921 to 1898 to internal affairs, large ly the deyelOping of her tremendous
 
 chant marine was very marked. Then came the war with Spain, breaking down the old policy of isolation and the gradual acquisition of scattered colonies. Since the world war, like
 it or not, we can not avoid becoming a world power. Let us meet it as men," Do or say what we will, where your treasure is, at least your interest will be, and since we have ten lil- lions over there in loans it tehooves us to at least wish them prosperity It is hoped that MT. Gettell will re- turn to Stafford and speak where he can have a larger audience. Miss Mary Russell and Mrs F. G. Sanford for the evening
 The following is from the New York Technical Journal:
 HolyOke, Mass, March 15--Notable extension and it is intimated, addi- tiOnS to the paper manufacturing in dustry of Central New England are likely within the near future, with invasion of northeastern and eastern Connecticut and utilizing of the abundant natural waterpoWer in that region. Naturalization of tentative plans that are said to have been under discussion recently ly repre- sentative3 of industrial capital and several interested i'll paper manufac- ture is said to depend largely upon po8sil le development of transporta- tiOn facilities. It has ecOme known that the region has been thoroughly gone over, possible sites of manufact- uring plants inspected and Waterpow- CT, 10th that now existing and what could e easily and comparatively cheaply developed, discussed The nation as to how desired and needed transportation facilities can be Se- cured
 Several railroad systems are in a position to furnish the necessary ex- tension of service into that section and, according to those interested, it is elieveu one or more of them can te pursuadcd to do so. They are the Central Vermont Railroad of the Grand Trunk System, the New York.
 
 the Boston and All any Railroad and the New York Central lines. Re sumption y the Grand Trunk System of it's one-time partially tuilt exten- sion from Palmer, Mass, to Provi- dence, R. l., would give transporta- tiOn facilities near the proposed mill sites. One suggestion under discus sion has cen extension of the cleo tric interurban from Stafford Springs, Ct, to SOuthbridge, Mass, it being es- tlmated that electric power would be sufficient to freight" raw and finish ed products of the mills to either ter minus, where through railroad lines could te tapped" At Stafford Springs, the main line of the Central Vermont would furnish tranSpOrta- tion to either New London, Ct, for coaStwise or ocean shipping or north to connection with the main line of the Grand Trunk system for transcon- olnental shipments.
 Power experts have reported that district occupying the northeastern portion of Connecticut as being par Iicularly rich in natural and unde- velOped waterpoWer. Tn parts of that region, those nearest the railroad lines, are now located numefOu mills, largely for the manufacture of WoOlen goods; farther back are other sites, once used for manufacturing or with facilities that could be easily and cheaply developed. Within the past few months several of these partially abandoned sites have teen taken hy outside manufacturing concerns. Others have teen inspected by rep resentatives and negotiations are cur rently reported as in progress, though several said to be interested are reti- cent relative to the matter. Current report has it that several of them are interested in the paper industry.
 On several occasions in the past surveys for trolley or electric freight lines have been made through this part of the country and several pro- posed routes laid out. Definite de- oic tn l,1i1dino 1inpS ic
