SPECIAL BY CABLE
London. Sept. 2z.-From every capital in
Europe come evidences OF the perturbation
created by Secretary Hays note regarding
the Roumanian Jews.
Where. It IS asked, is this sort OF outside
interference to end?
There was some plausible pretext In the
case OF Spain and Cuba, for Cuba was next
door neighbor to America, but Roumania is
not. and all fear of an fnffxx of INDECENT
Roumaniaps into America is sufficiently
guarded against by the Castle Gafden regu-
lations.
In truth, Mind your own business" Is
writ large over the messages published here
this week from the European centers.
Not so In England. England's att-
tude In the past toward the oppressed Ar
menians ami Bulgarians, toward Kosciusko.
Garibaidi and Mazzini, leads Englishmen to
adopt a very different view. Journals like
the Spectator express the hope that II is
true that Great Britain backed Secretary
Hays note by a lorna remonstrance and
appeal.
I'VE will not" It remarks. "use the
threat. very serious to Roumania, that Rou-
manian stocks may be boyootted on every
Bourse in Europe. but only appeal to that

SLAMMING DOORS.
Nevertheless. English commentators can
not refrain from reminding American states
men that their position as protectors OF
the oppressed is not altogether logical.
..Roumania. at least. did not shut out
these Jews when fleeing from the harder
conditions of life In Russia, though she
knew they came to compete with her own
workers.
Had Roumania followed Americas high
er precepts of humanitarisnism and ahmed
her doors in the faces of the distressed
refugees. as America slams hers. Russia
might rave persisted in prosecuting these
very people without a word Of American
protest.
Moreover, Is a land which treats the
yellow man as America does entitled TO as
sumo such a high and mighty attitude in
Europe? In what respect il the Chinaman
worse than the Jew?
Again. to quote a third critic, the United
States Is depressing the Cubans In their

effcacfously and. apparently. as unjustly
as II they refused them a footing in the
States or enacted legal disabilities against
