Mr.. Carnegies rectorlal address con.
sisted Of u lengthy study of the com.
parative growth of nations in the
paths of industrial asCendancy with
striking commentary on their future.
In this speech, which was replete with
notable statistics and important eco.

markable feature was an appeal to
Emperor William to use his influence
toward the eventual creation of the
United States Of Europe under the form
of political and industrial union. In
this way alone. Carnegie declared. can
Europe conquer the foreign markets
or repel the American invasion France,

taken joint action against Japan would
suffice to insure satisfactory union
in Europe.

a part upon the wider stage OF Europe
as her deliverer from the incubus which

much increase in population or indus

cendancy, even with the British empire
united, must therefore be abandoned"
Carnegie spared his Scotch audience
no details. America" he said, now
makes more steel than all the rest of
the world. In iron and coal her pro-

textiles. She produces three-fourths Of
the worlds cotton. The value of her
