Paris March l6.-The French government
and Harvard University have reached an
agreement providing for tho exchange every
other year OF professors at the Sorbonne
and at Harvard. thereby continuing official
" the foundation Of James II. Hyde, Il
New York. who established q French lect-
urcship at Harvard in 1895 and an Ameri-
can lecturcship at the SOrbonne In 1904
Mr. Hyde was greatly pleased when in
formed to-day Of the completion OF the ar
rangcment, which places on a permanent
and official basis the work which he in
itiated and has carried on.
II appears that Harvard and the Sorbonnc
desire that tho American and French OK
change shall be placed on the same endur-
ing basis as those of Harvard and Berlin
and OF Columbia University and Berlin Uni
Versity.
one result OF the exchange or professors
is that n Gozen volumes relating 10 France
and America have hcen written. The lect-
urcs of President Finley ~ the College or
tho city Of New York AT the Sorbonnc this
year embody original research work on
French explorations in Canada and the
United States.
\ feature of tho arrangement between
France and Harvard is that tho lecturer

Sir Edward Grey in the commons You
saw truly that there would he great nos
tiIhy in this country 20 treaty being con-
verted into an alliance 10y Sir Edward
suggested addition providing for mutua'

should have an enemy who roiuscd prof.
fered arbitration. This suggestion comes
solely from Sir Edward. The President
declaration was that all disputes arising
between nations should ~ submitted 10
arbitration II was general statement
and embraced all civilized nations. There
fore any treaty concluded ny America with
Britain would ipso facto. 10 open 10 any
nation willing to accept il. The Republic
would welcome them all, giving each tho
same conditions and showing no favor.
We may rely upon President Taft making
this clear to all nations It is the peace
Of tho civilized world h. would ram
secure: that peace Of which he STANDS
among rulers to-day the foremost apostle.
Britain Is entitled 10 be approached hrst
since she offered us such a treaty as Is

needed two-thlrds majority ~ the senate
and therefore failed I'm opening the SUD

sides this having agreed ~ such treaty,

To comply. provided VIC can convince her
that the Senate will apr owe, of when
