LONDON, March 12.-In the house of
commons yesterday Walter Runciman, par

the tariff arrangement reached between
the United States and Germany would con-
fer an advantage on German imports into

United Kingdom and whether the govern

for British trade under the most favored
nation clause
He said that modus vivendi between the

ranged. but that nothing had been settled
yet. In the event of British trade being
abated the government would enter into ne

President Washington's idea.
George Washington and his associa ties
in the constitutional convention realized
that a great university, exercising Impor-
tant functions in the life of the people of
the whole country, organized under the
power of Congress as the legislature of the
District of Columbia was a necessary and
inevitable part Of the national capital
When Madison and Pinckney introduced in
the convention the resolution to authorize
the national government to establish a
university at the capital as an institution
of the national government the convention
in its wisdom, adopted the view expressed
by Gouverneur Morris-that the university
to be established at the capital should be
organized by Congress as corporation of
the District of Columbia. under it's powers
as the legislature of the District and not
under its powers as the national legis-
lature. They feared, perhaps lest a uni
versity wholly or principally supported by
the national funds might not have that
freedom of thought and action which are
essential to the benefcent life and power
of a university. and might, in times of
political stress, be used by a political fac
ton to propagate principles harmful to the
republic. They. doubtless saw also, as
Washington did, that a great educational
corporation, supported wholly or almost
wholly by the private generosity of the
people of the country, established at the
seat OF government. would be able to rem
services in many ways to the people of the
whole country.
Washington. in speaking of q great uni
versty of the kind intended by the consti-
tutfonal convention, declared that the fed
eral city, from its centrality and the ad-
vantages which in other respects 1t must
have over any other place in the United
States, ought to be preferred as a proper
site for such university In that part of
his Will in which he made the bequest

an endowment of a great university In the
