World Power Conference The second World Power Conference opened on

Monday in Berlin. The first, in the inauguration of which Great Britain was prominent, was described as the " technical League of Nations." That description makes no excessive claim, as the Conference has now 4,000 registered mem- bers representing organizations in fifty countries, and is one of the greatest of the bodies " working together for peace." It is one of the achievements of our age that such a body, composed primarily of economic organiza- tions, should have attained the dignity and status which justified Professor Einstein in delivering to it his speech on "-The- Space, Field, and Ether Problems in Physics."

Industry is now almost as international as science. * * * *
