WAS A DIPLOMATIC PLAN.
Secretary Hay Proposed the OPEN
Door Policy to Avoid Interna-
tiOnal Troubles.

NEW YORK June a--Oscar Straus

view says: Secretary Hay achieved n far

ranged for the open door in China by

along this line must diplomacy In China
adjust Itself. At the same time II will
probably be necessary that roads leading
through the open door shall extend
throughout the Chinese empire. China Ia

population. to be diverted from its tradi-
tions. running back several thousand
years.
TT cannot he Europeanzed nor Chris
tienlzed: one might as well think Of con-
verting the great ocean into a fresh water
lake. As the interests of the European
nations and the United States are entirely
commercial. II would be absurd to think
OF dividing II. even II that were possible,
for division OF country with a popula-
ton so allied to western Ideas as is China.
would destroy the life and activity that
IL left therein, and would paralyze its
industries and destroy its commerce.
Looking at the future of China from
every aspect, from the conflicting inter-
ests Of European nations and the United
states, the only division practical is to
make no division. but help China to de-
velop along it's own best lines, while pro-
tecting II against intruders and making
the open door a permanent institution

NO CHANGE IN SITUATION.
Lack of News From Conger Causes
Cabinet Concern.

WASHINGTON, June 2o.-None Of the
members of the cabinet who were at
today's session could see the least change
in the Chinese situation. Secretary Hay
was not present, nor was Secretary
Gage, but the other members said that
nothing had been heard from the MIN
listers stationed at Picking. and this fact
was causing the greatest alarm for their
safety. 1t was stated that every posi-
BILE effort was being made to secure in
teligence Of their whereabouts, but up
ditional troops. it was said, had been
ordered to China, but matters were be-
ing put in shape to meet any emergency
that might arise. When the cabinet meet
ing broke up. a little before o'clock,
there could be no doubt that the men,
bers shared the general depression at the
lack of news from Minister Conger.
While unwilling to admit that hope for
his safety was fast fading, they felt
that their gravest fears might be realized
at any time.
