"AGAIN TOU. S.

Nations Together Drafted Present Chinese Policy, Simms Recalls.

BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS ' Seripps-Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, July 1.—Great Britain once more is showing signs ~ of approaching the United States ~ with a view to securing the help

-of this country to prevent the open door in China being slammed in its

For, popular opinion in America to the contrary notwithstanding, it was Great Britain, not the United States, that originated the international policy of the open door—a policy which, when first proposed, was turned down at Washington. Just as it is now, China, in the spring of 1898, was in dire danger of disintegration. Today it. is Nippon that is symtematically slicing off large chunks. Then it was Czarist Russia, Imperial Germany, Great Britain and France. Japan, ‘though envious, had not yet quite reached the place where she could - demand her share of the spoils with any assurance of getting it.

Free Trade Preferred

British policy at that time was hostile to the partitioning of China. Of course, if it came to a showdown, Britain would insist upon a lion's portion for herself. | But she really preferred to take

her chances with the rest of the world for the trade of the Flowery Kingdom. She was pretty good at; that game and knew it. John Hay was American ambassador to the Cbdurt of St. James. He heard Lord Curzon and many

‘.. others talk “open door” again and

. again. And it is a matter of record that, while he was still in London, the British government approached the American government with the idea, hoping to make it a joint affair, and that President McKinley and Secretary of State Sherman gave it the cold shoulder. They saw no reason, they said in effect, why Uncle Sam should change his traditional views with regard to entanglements abroad. But events in China galloped on. Japan was consolidating her hold on Korea. Russia was clinching her possession of Manchuria. Germany had seized most of Shantung as her sphere of influence. ‘ Britain had taken over Weihaiwei. France was digging in to the south and securing footholds elsewhere. China was tottering and the Boxer uprising was in the making.

Hay’s Vision Played Part

In Washington, Ambassador Hay had now become Secretary of State. His vision went far beyond our shores. He saw the United States as the coming greatest nation on earth—a nation which would have to have an outlet for its surplus products or go to ruin. Secretary Hay, moreover, was .aware that open markets for our goods really long had been American policy. Daniel Webster, in 1843, ‘had instructed Caleb Cushing, commissioner to China, to tell that country: : “The United States will find it impossible to remain on terms of friendship and regard with the Emperor if greater privileges or commercial facilities should be allowed the subjects of any other . government than should be granted to the citizens of the United States.” But Hay knew that even Webster

~~ was not the father of this thesis.

He knew it to-be perhaps [the oldest foreign policy America has.

Japan Closing Door - So when he saw the sefamble for . *spheres of interest” going on in . China, and China on the point of being split up among the great powers with the United States left ‘out—since it refused to join in the scramble—he remembered his open door talks in London. Accordingly he got busy. The * British welcomed the idea of an ~ open door for world trade in the

4 ~ Very promising Chinese field. Thus,

In 1909, the Hay doctrine, as it has ~ since been called, was enunciated ~ with knowledge ' beforehand. that Britain would not only accept it for If but use her influence to make it stick elsewhere. ~ So the famous doctrine is really 8 Joint Anglo-American affair. It NOW remains to be seen what happens to it. For little Nippcn, the Buses: of all the powers in 1909, y, all by herself, is closing the Chinese door in their faces without bothering to keep it from slamming.

CHAPTER TWELVE HE day following Phil’s request that Marcia leave immediately Because it was, there accommodations until late in the morning. Marcia laid out a cool gray suit, blue accessories, and a blue hat that gave her face a mischievous air, usually. She decided that she would have some orange juice and coffee in her room and slip away without good-by to any one except Marion, who knew that she was leaving. Marion, though, interfered with this arrangement. “By the way, we all meet in the dining room and get our own breakfasts on Sunday, when we have lots of people at the house,” she said. “There’ll be one maid on duty to keep the percolators filled and the bread cut but everybody burns his own toast and scrambles his own eggs.”

Marcia silently eliminated breakfast from her schedule. She was sitting in her room, the blue hat on, her face pale and her eyes ringed with violet, waiting for the station wagon, when Marion came into the room,

“Marcia Cunningham, you look like the last of the seven plagues of Israel! What in the world—but you have to have some breakfast before you 5% You can’t just sit here!”

So she went into the dining room, and perfunctorily poured some coffee and spattered a waffle iron with batter. It was easier to pretend to cook than to explain that she wasn’t hungry. Phil was standing near a window, standing, though he only nodded when she entered. Camilla was making pancakes and creaming beef to go with them, At first the significance of this action was lost on Marcia. Then she realized that Camilla was making’ very good pancakes and the creamed meat looked tempting. Camilla could cook! Well, Phil wouldn't be hungry, anyway, in the Pampas. Camilla wouldn't burn the potatoes and boil the eggs five minutes—

ER own waffles were ready and she put them on a plate. They were a golden brown but she did not want them. To prolong the motion of doing something she pretended that she would like some bacon and covered the waffles to keep them hot. When the bacon was fried to a golden, crisp brown she put it on the plate. Phil had drawn near. He had a coffee cup in one hand. “Phil, you haven't eaten?” she said. “Here, take this. I'll fix some more.” : “Marcia, don’t tempt me! That’s a dish fit for a king instead of a poor engineer!” He looked at it hungrily. “Cam’s getting some pancakes and stuff ready for two or three of us and I'm pledged elsewhere!” The last words had been unintentional, but the force of them brought the blue eyes and the gray eyes together in a quick remembrance. Phil stepped nearer, but Cam's bright voice broke into the conversation. She carried a plate in each hand and Bob was with her. “Here, my lollipops,” — she motioned to the two men—“I've prepared your food. Now draw up your chairs and eat while I prepare, refills. That's a beautiful waffle, Marcia.” The station wagon was rounding the corner. Rellavedly,: :Marcia picked up her bag and gloves. The two men were thanking Camilla for her pancakes. With a quick good-by to Marion, she slipped out of the room, ran across the veranda, climbed into the wagon. She was running away again, running away this time because she had been asked to go. Phil might have been a little more attentive, she mused, as the wagon started. Perhaps he really wanted to marry Camilla and she had been an interlude. She knew better, but she didn’t know better. . Perhaps— : “Marcia, wait! Hey, driver—" She heard a voice calling her. She knew that it came from Phil but she did not look back. “Never mind, please,” she told the driver, steadying her voice so he would not know that her eyes were dark with tears. “I think we had better hurry.”

HERE was no boat for three days, she learned in Paris. She booked her return passage, and went shopping, to the theater, to tea and dinner with people with whom she had not bothered a few weeks before. It did not matter what she did if she could get through the days until time to take passage on another ship. The morning of the third day the clerk told her that Camilla was registered once-more. “Oh yes?” she repeated. That must mean that Phil had come, too, and he would see that she had not left. Never mind, she would not get in his way.

rain that was just beginning. She sat 4 bench in a park at the ‘of a high hill- She climbed hunof steps coming down. ' She too, that she would take her luggage and go at once to Cherbourg, to any small hotel it might boast, and stay there until the boat sailed the next afternoon at 6. It was dusk when she came back to the hotel. She stepped aside to watch a porter carrying out some luggage. “C. M.” She read the initials on the bags. Camilla Howe. The wedding was over. She saw more bags in the arms of another porter. “P. B.” So there had been a wedding! Not until then did she realize that somewhere, in the far corners of her mind, she had been hoping that it might be Bob whom Camilla was marrying. She knew now. That was—something. Her feet dragged as she walked to the elevator. She could feel the water oozing in her slippers and did not care. A girl stepped from the car as Marcia waited for the passengers to leave. Glancing up, she saw Camilla. “Marcia! We scoured the city for you! Wish me luck, honey! I'm married, and I wanted you there!” “I hope you'll be ever so happy, Camilla. I know you will. Phil's a darling—" ‘She wondered at the clearness of her own voice. “Phil? But it wasn’t Phil, Marcia. I married Bob!” “Bob?” Marcia’s eyes grew wider and grayer. “Camilla, you married Bob?” The other girl sobered. “I know what you are thinking—that Bob wanted money and I haven't any. This time he did fall in love, Marcia. Forgive me for being so—plain. He’s glad that I haven’t anything so he can earn it for us. Bob is turning out to be—swell.”

” s = HEN she was gone before Marcia could explain that she hadn’t meant that at all—that she was surprised—she couldn't very

well admit that she was delighted —that it wasn’t Phil. But Phil's luggage was going somewhere— Marcia hurried to the desk. “Mr. Kirkby—when did he check out?” “Two hours ago. His bags are following him to Cherbourg. He's gone to his baat.” “His boat? But there’s no boat leaving for New York until tomorrow!” “He’s sailing to Rio de Janeiro.” So Phil was leaving, believing that she had not cared to answer when he called! He couldn’t do that. He loved her! “May I have a porter in a hurry?” she asked the clerk. “And prepare my bills, please. I'm checking out immediately.” Hats, gowns, suits, coats, those with a Paris label and those without, went into the bags. Toilet articles, stockings, shoes, handkerchiefs—they were packed in a few minutes and the bags were closed. The porter put them in a cab and Marcia gave hurried directions. “The boat train to Cherbourg.” The rain was falling in a steady downpour when she reached the tender that would carry her to the big ship.* The last-minute confusion of sail was progressing a little early. arc felt let down. Phil had not been on the train and she had not found him on the tender. But he must be on the boat. Yet she had not seen him when the engines began to groan and the gangplank was taken up. The night grew darker. She climbed the narrow iron steps to the upper deck and sat down in a lifeboat. When the confusion was over she would ask for his cabin.

” 2 ” HEN she saw him. He was standing near a smokestack, hands in his pockets, eyes on the vanishing coastline. “Phil!” she called softly. He turned, wonderingly, waited. “Phil!” She climbed down from the boat. This time he turned and came to
