In reply to u committee of lrish>Amcr>
lean Leaguers Andrew Carnegie. the
millionaire IRON producer of pittsburg,
wrote last week that resistance to Eug
lish rule is solemn duty" on the part of
the Irish, yet, as II sympathizcr he would
counsel policy not of separation but OF
union with the people Of England and
Scotland to abolish monarchy and aristo-
cacy and establish federal republic.
"The end of the British monarchy, he
says. 'is fast approaching Even at pres
ent it is mere farce. 1t is no longer a
dangerous situation. 1t is only silly
one, and we can afford to smile for time
at Il monarch whose only prerogative is
to set the fashions. The vital fact is that
the next few years are to see not only To-
cal parlaments for Ireland but for Scot
land, Wales and England also Mr..
Carnegie has had favorable opportunities
to feel the public pulse in Great Britain,
and his predictions may be by no means
visionary.
