We offer our welcome to a party of American newspaper

editors who are beginning here a tour of Europe arranged by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. It is an excellent scheme for promoting an even better understanding than exists between the two hemispheres, and we trust that great advantage will accrue to the understanding on which we set the greatest value of all —that between ourselves and the United States. Dr. Murray Butler, the distinguished President of Columbia University, is also President of the Carnegie Endowment, and he was present as a Pilgrim at the dinner given by the British Pilgrims to the editors on Tuesday and spoke most warmly of Anglo-American friendship.
