HE UNIIED STATES LEADS
So Says Senator Villari In Ad-
 dress to Victor Emmanuel
Two Powerful Countries-Wh and Black Races, He Says, Hate Each Other Now More Than Ever.

Other Now More Than Ever.
 Rome, April 2-Senator Villari, in an address delivered to-day before King Victor Emmanuel and Queen Helena at the opening of the interna- tional historical congress, made sever- al allusions to the United States. He said Europe was shut in between two great, powerful countries, Russia on the east and the United States on the west. The latter. from population of 3O,OOO,OOO had risen to S0,OOO,OOO and no one knew what number its popUla- tion would eventually reach. The United States had also taken the lead in all the works of progress and civil ization. These two forces, acting on Europe, were likely to render neces- sary union of the different European countries which may completely change the geograp phical situation to the universal advantage of Europe
 The senator added that he foresaw and predicted the twentieth century will perhaps see the solution of many problems.
 '"The mixing of the white and black races.'' Senator Viliari continued, "DrOugnL aDOuL tue WaE OL SeceSsloh in the United States and the liberation of the negroes from slavery but, this has not harmonized or amalgamated the two races, which hate each other now perhaps more than ever before. .
 ''The United States will probably be the first to give us an indication how to deal with such grave and important questions, which Europe must meet throughout the two Immense conti- nents of Africa and Asia"
