Sixty-six members of the Yale faculty recently sent a petition similar to that circulated at Harvard, to the President of the United States Senate and to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, opposing any Congressional action bearing upon the relations of Great Britain and Ireland.

The message said that the signers believed that, inasmuch as the United States would deeply resent any interference in our own domestic affairs, we should follow the same rule in dealing with other nations. Already Congress has overstepped the bounds of discretion in the eyes of the protesting body by attempting to recognize the ephemeral "Republic of Ireland."

As this question, purely a moral one, is slowly developing into a political item, the body of protestors has taken this opportunity to oppose legislative action on this subject.
