FIRST FOREIGN PEACE CONGRESS IN
AMERICA
The treaty Of peace between Japan and Russia,
If brought TO successful conclusion. will be the
first negotiated between two foreign powers in
America Berlin, Vienna, Utrecht and Amiens have
all been scenes of the negotiation of treaties Of
peace. while many Of them have been concluded
in Paris during the last hundred years that the
entire atmosphere of the French metropolis ought
TO be impregnated with harmony and good will
The origin OF the practice OF selecting a neutral
city as the Of the negotiations Of peace was
due TO the desire provide for the safety OF the
negotiators and plenipOtentaries and it to this
consideration that likewise be ascribed the
extraordinary regulations devised in connection
with the meeting Of the penipOtentiares Even
10 this day in peace negotiations with OF the
Asatic and African states il is the custom Of
white nations TO demand hostages for the safety
Of the negotiators and on one occasion when Rus
STA neglected adopt this precaution its plenipo-
tentary held a prisoner by the Turks and
treated with such cruelty by them that he ended
by putting his 10 a treaty peace extremely
unfavOrabe TO his master the Gar. II may be re-
membered in this connection that throughout all
the time that Sir Louis Dane and his mission
were at Cabul last winter negotiating the new
treaty Of peace with the Ameer OF Afghanistan
the latter's young quite fortuitously Il is
said, a guest Of Lord Curzon and OF the Indian
government Calcutta. Had Sir Louis Dane

Cavsgnari and Of other English envoys % CabuI
the young Afghan prince would have ceased to be
a guest and would straightway have become a

WILL THE TREATY BE rYPEwRIrTEN7


Although the treaty OF peace between japan and
Russia has Vet to be negotiated at Portsmouth
early next month, the question is already being
discussed as 10 whether the method inaugurated by
England in her treaty of peace with the Beers, OF
typewrting the document will be adopted, or II
the old fashioned method Of writing the document
IN script will be adhered to- The treaty Of peace
between Spain and the United States, which brought
the war Of 1888 to a successful conclusion. was a
model Of the caugraphic art while the Anglo-Boer
treaty bearing the signatures OF the Boer leaders
Of General Lord Kitchener and Of Lord Miner, was
the rst treaty Of peace 10 be entirely typewrtten,
save Of course the signatures. The question which
naturally arises in connection with this new form
OF drawing up state documents is as 10 whether
paper and ink used in typewrittng will prove as
durable and as lasting as the parchments on which
treaties have been until quite recently inscribed.
At the Record Office in London there are, in charge
OF that august $4,000 a year judicial functionary
known as the Master of the Rolls official docu-
nents. treaties etc, written parchment as far
back nine hundred years ago. which are still
IN perfect state OF preservation and entirely
legble. Whether the typewriter treaty Of peace
which brought the BOer war TO q conclusion three
years ago VIII be in equally good state Of preseT
vation nine centuries hence remains 70 be seen
