He declared that the "enormous sums nations are now spending for Instruments of war are ominously excessive," and added that he did not bcilee the mere cost of war or the greater cost of armaments meant to prevent war would proys the most effectuul deterrent to war Itself. Mr; Carnegie referred to tho newly created peace foundation only briefly, urging the American Society for Judicial Settlement of Intor: national Disputes, as well as other peace organizations, not to fall to co-operate with the foundation In Its single aim, tho abolition of war between nations, NOT FAR DISTANT.

"You nr engaged," said Mr. Carnegie, "In mastering the creation of a world court for tho judicial as against tho dlplo-riathv settlement of International disputes: as the reign ot law already exists In nlvlllsied tands preventing private war between individuals, you labor to. extend the reign of law over nations a noble task which the steady growth of International law will some day render possible and that not as far In the future' as -you may imagine.
