Neutrons have been supposed to consist of a positive proton and a negative electron jammed together, canceling the electric charges. But to explain why some neutrons had positive "spins" and some negative, Tolansky of England two years ago suggested that the negative-spinners were composed of negative protons combined with positrons. The existence of positive-negative electron mates, said he, "suggests, on grounds of symmetry, that a negative proton might be expected to exist." Anderson had also declared himself...
...accepted theory, that they could not be electrons, for electrons would have been more than a thousand times more strongly absorbed by the greater thickness of lead.

U. S. physicists rubbed their chins, decided to wait a while before committing themselves...
