ton Of It. Many of its clauses are
ambiguous, and there Is much doubt
even among the most experienced au-
thorities on the Far East as to its
exact meaning
The memorandum Ia presumably, IN
part at least, the work Of Robert
Lansing, late American Secretary OF
State, who is advising the Chinese
delegation.
China's Right" Agreed On.
As to actual demands. there are
certain points, such as the unreserved
assertion for the open door" policy,
which everyone will accept. Neither.
l Judge, will there be serious oppo.
sition to the requirement that no
engagements concerning China shall
be entered into without China's right
to participate.
The Anglo-Japanese alliance. the
consortium agreement, and the Shan
tung clauses of the treaty of Ver-
sailles all come under this head. Re

entirely reasonable views.
There are. however, two clauses 80
comprehensive that they might in
clude anything. The first is that Of
calling upon the powers to respect
the territorial integrity and the po-
litical and administrative independence
of the Chinese republic.
China Wants Only Status Quo.
Is that merely formal assertion
Of universally accepted principles or
does 1t raise such questions as the
presence of foreign powers at Using
tao, Weihaiwei, Hongkong. Macao.
and Kwang -Chau-Huan, Japanese
penetration in Manchuria and Russian
In Mongolia?
The best opinion, is that China Is
merely demanding maintenance of
the status quo, but only detailed dis
cussion In committee can fully eluci-
date the clause in question. ~.
Equally sweeping is the demand for
reconsideration Of all rights, privii-
eyes, immunities and commitments
claimed by foreign powers In regard
to China. That obviously covers
every kind Of foreign encroachment
and refers particularly 20 such
matter as the twenty-one demands
presented by Japan and in part con.
coded by China In 1915.

Hans Gregor, Vienna Opera In,
.tendant, Observing the

BY LUCIEN CLEVEs.

r TANS GREGOR. intendant. or
Fl in other words. manager Of
= l. the Imperial Opera House in
Vienna during some of the most bril-
liant days OF it's existence, is now in
New York. He is observing the
United States leisurely and is prob
ably more impressed by the great
change since his first visit than by
anything else. He was here thirty
five years ago when a student But
he tells the story best in his own
words.
while 1 was studying to become an
engineer" he said, "one Of my fellow
students decided to make a trip during
the holidays to New York. l thought
that / would accompany him since /
always had the idea that possibly
might come here to live when l had
completed my education. How differ
ent New York was in those days,
remember the horse cars and how the
city seemed to end at Central Park
and what a wonder the Elevated
seemed then! The city may be much
greater now, but 1 was profoundly i'm
pressed even then with all / saw over
here. When l went back it was with
the firm determination to come over
here when the time came for me to
start the practice of engineering"
But other interests soon claimed
Mr. Gregor. He decided to become an
impresario. So he went on the stage
to learn something of the career from
that side and acted at the Deutches
and Lessing Theatres in Berlin. After
while he became impresario Of the
Opera Comique In Berlin. SO sue
cessful was his conduct Of that insti-
tuition that he was called to the I'm
perial Opera House in Vienna, sue
ceeding the restless Felix Weingart-
ner, who had in turn. taken the place
OF Gustav Mailer. There Mr.. Gregor
remained until after the revolution IN
Austria. He went then 10 Switzer-
land, where he remained for the two
years that intervened before he ar
rived here. His wife is an American.
and Il was to visit her family that
they went first to Boston.
