AMERICA AND EUEOPE
THE PARTING OF THE WAYS. RESPONSIBILITIES OF POWER. (By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association). NEW YORK, October 3. Mr T. W. Lamont, addressing the Bankers Convention, stated that America had come to the parting of the ways. She must now decide whether to co-operate in the councils of the Mother Country and the Old World, or stand aside and add to her national stock of gold. With increaang power, said Mr Lamont, the United States got increased responsibility. During the war this responsibility was discharged, but since the armistice there was some doubt about it. Commenting on tariff matters, Mr Lamont declared: “We will be fortunate if we do not find that it protects a lot cf industries not requiring protection, and cuts off from farmer? and manufacturers a lot of foreign markets that are now ready to buy our commodities."
