PARIS, March 29-James Hazen
Hyde, formerly of New York, is pre-
pairing to devote considerable part
OF his time and energy. plus no little
money, to the cause of an 'intellec-
/ tual entente between the United
States, England and France.
He believes such an association,
perfected, would prove big factor
in the peace of the world
! Mr.. Hyde has already delivered
| several lectures on the subject in
theatres. halls, before the chamber
Of deputies, and elsewhere; and he is
/ to deliver more.
/ The triple alliance between Ger
many, Austria and Italy, and the
triple entente, between England,
France and Russia. he declares, are
4 supposed to govern the politics, and
4 practically the peace, of the world
His associations" Is growing up by
the side of these two at such rapid
rate, he believes, that It will soor
: have to be reckoned with
I The Hyde idea is that genera
exchange of professors and lecturers
shall be arranged between the United
States and France: between France
and England, and e.ween England
and the United States. Already the
scheme is in operation between
. France and America and the French
government has recognized the value
of Mr.. Hyde's labors, first by making
him knight of the legion Of honor
and later by promoting him to the
grade of officer In this order.
interviewed by the United Pres,
correspondent, Mr.. Hyde declared:
"The existence of intellectual
bonds between countries leads to {
better knowledge of these countries
and closer and more friendly relations
The existence Of such an association
therefore, between the United States
France and England is nothing shor
OF an obligation. These three grea
liberal nations are the advance-guart
of civilization and 1t is for them tt
lead the way. This academic associa
ton will prove bond Of create
friendship and pave the way for ever
closer relations, and the greater thu
number Of mutual bonds between
them, the mightier will be the asso
citation"
Hyde pointed out that at presen
the only tie Of this sort between Eng
land and the United States is Thu
Rhodes scholarships. He believe
there should be more. American uni
versities should borrow English pre-
fessors and lecturers and vice versa
ditto between England and France.
