A copy Of the document OF agree
'uent--the original is in possession Of
the French eovernment--has been
placed in the hands Of the state de-
partmeut by John A. Stewart, chair
man Of the executive committee OF the
American peace committee. The I'M
derstan ding. known i'm Europe as the
Berlin agreement. Is the sole basis for
the recent reputed anti American con-
tract apparently manifesting itself In
a refusal to give official recognition
to the Panama Pacific exposition at
San Francisco. according to the opin-
ion OF the American peace committee.
MI Stewart made the announcements
regarding the Berlin agreement at n
dinner given tonight by Jacob H. Schin,
n member of the American committee,
in honor OF the Earl of Kintore. a MEM
Der of the British committee and Alvin
f. Pope, q member OF the commission Of
the Panama Pacific exposition.
1t was stated on behalf OF the Ameri-
can committee by Alton Il. Parker that
Great Britain is to be represented un-
officially al the San Francisco fair. The
AnglO-Amprlcan exposition which at
London, this spring, precedes the CEN
tcnnial peace celebration, will be trans-
plantcd from Shepherd. Bush to the
Pacihc coast. Judge Parker said he had
been assured by the Earl Of Kntore
that the British exhibit would equal any
ever made by British business mon at
any exposition.
THE nations signing the agreement
included Germany. Austria Hungary,
France, Great Britain. Russia. Italy
and Spain" Mr.. stewart said at the
dinner tonight, 1T seems. however
that there are not terms in the agree
rent which bind under penalty these
rignatory nations which would prevent
one or more or sill of them, under the
circumstances surrounding such an
exposition "A. the Panama Pacific eX-
position, from making such an event
an exception"
Mr. Stewart said the Berlin agreement
in genera terms gives as reason for
tho desire to curtsil official participation
In eXpositions, the increasing number OF
such eXpo-it!ons and the burden OF ex-
pense.
