Andrew Carnegie has been formally
reinstalled as rector of st. Andrews
university in the presence of a large
and brilliant assemblage, over which
Principal Donaldson presided.
Mr.. Carnegie's rectorial address con-
sisted Of a lengthy study of the com
parative growth of nations in the paths
of industrial ascendancy, with a strik-
ing commentary on their future. In
this speech, which was replete with no
table statistics and important econom-
ic prophecies, perhaps the most re
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 a political and industrial
union. In this way alone, Mr.. Carnegie
declared, can Europe conquer the for
eign markets or repel the American
invasion. France, Germany and Rus
STA, who had already taken joint action
against Japan, would suffice to ensure
q satisfactory union in Europe.

taken the first step toward the peace Of
the world in the conference at The
Hague, the other mighty emperor
might some day be impressed with the
thought that it is due to himself and to
Germany to play a great part upon the
wider stage of Europe as her deliverer
from the incubus which Expresses and
weakens her, the appalling, paralyzing
fear of war and of ruin between mem

ing tribute to Emperor William, said
he could not help believing that one
so supremacy great" could influence
the few men who today control Europe
to take the first step, not to federate,
but an alliance to insure international
peace, which is all that can be expect
ed at present."
Step Absolutely Necessary.
Unless the powers agreed to some
thing of the kind all they could look
forward to was to ~"revolve like so
many Lilliputians around this giant
CULVER, the American Union, soon to
embrace zoe, 900 1000 of the English
speaking race and capable of supply
ing most of the worlds wants."
For the best essays on this subject
Mr.. Carnegie offered a rector's prize.
Dealing with the events which
caused the industrial supremacy "once
yours, but now passed to your lineal
descendant, who bears the industrial
supremacy" Mr.. Carnegie said it was
a physical impossibility for Great
Britain to produce materials ~rivaling
in amount those of countries the size
of America, Germany or Russia, nor
would a union of the empire change the
situation, for neither Canada nor Aus
tralia gave promise of such increase in
population or industrialism. Although
of material ascendency even the Brit
ish empire united must therefore be
Abandoned"

America" he says, nov makes
more steel than all the rest of the
world. In iron and coal her production
is greatest and it is also so in textiles.
She produces three-quarters of the
worlds cotton. The value of her man
ufactures is about triple that of your
own. Her exports are greater and the
clearinghouse exchanges at New York
are almost double those of London
Germany, the speaker also said, now
threatened to GUST Great Britain even
from second place. France was not
likely to increase her trade much fur
