BUGBEE SERVICES RENDERED TO CHINA H BY THE LATE JOHN HAY To Be Recognized by the Ersction of s Bronze Status at Peking. Sincere appreciation of the services rendered to China by the late John Hay, American Secretary of State. in establishing the “open doer” _policy and protecting that country from dis- Mmemberment by Buropean Powers was expressed in & measure which has been introduced into the Chinese Sen- to provide for the erection of a ronze statue of Mr. Hay at Pekrhg. Recognition also is accorded in: the bill to the great service which Mr. Hay rendered to China in proposing the refunding of the Boxer indemni- ties. Among those proposing that the me- morial was C. T. Wang, vice president he Chinese Senate, a graduate of Tale versity. Several other Chin- ese who were educated in America seconded the motion that the bill be adopted. In describing Mr. Hay's ser vices to China, the proponents of the measure asserted: . “It was the late Mr. John Hay who, hearing of the proposal of the Euro- pean powers to develop and mark out for themseives their respective spheres of influence in China, made represen- fations to the governments of Great Sritain, Ruesia, France. Japan, Italy, sic., suggesting that China should be enabled to adopt an “open door’ pol- fcy with regard to foreign powers n his opinion, the developing of “spheres of influence” was sure to lead to a breach of the peace in the Far East. Fortunately, the governments of the Buropean powers supported Mr. Hay's idea, and as a result, a common understanding_was arrived at between the powers, which gave rise to a state political equilibrium known as the alance of power' and secured peace for the Far East. Therefore #t was a great service that Mr. Hay rendered ~ “Again, after the Boxer trouble was when our government was re- red to pay emormous indemnities to the foreign powers, Mr. Hay proposed to the governments of these powers that they should refund to China a portion of the indemnities after re- talning what was deemed necessary to make good the loss to public and private property. But the foreign powers did not give their consent to this proposal, so that the United States had to carry out the idea alone. The amount of money to be thus re- funded by the United States, was not including interest, $10,785,200 gold, and since 1305 a considerable sum has al- ready been paid back to China. We are now using this money for educa- tional purposes, that is, for the main- tenance of the Teing Hua College, etc. In the third vear of the Republic the United States government further re- funded to us a sum:of $1,100,000 out of a total of $2,000.000 gold which China had paid to the United States as com- pensation for loss to private property, which sum we are now using for the support of Chinese students studying in that country. This was the second sreat eervice that Mr. Hay rendered to_China. “Thus it will be seen that Mr. Hay has given us cauge for Teeling really grateful to him. ought 1o erect a bronze statue in his honor in order to show to posterly our sincere appreci- ation of Mr. Hay's meritorious ser- vices to China.” DO YOU KNOW THAT The U.

Tn no case Is the amount of the advance to be granted stated, but it ix understood that it will be a sub- stantial one and will put the wage scales paid in plants here and here- abouts on a par with the wages to be paid on and after June 4 to operatives in such sreat textile centers as Fall River, Lowell, New Bedford and 1gw- rence, Noticss of the advance have been posted at the Quinebaug companies’ mills, at the Wauregan mills, Goodyear Cotton company, Inc., the three mills of tie Attawaugan com- pany, in Attawaugan, Ballouville and Pineville. The Danielson Cotton com- pany, it is ewpected, will grant the advance, effective on June 4. This coming advance for the work- ers in the cotton manufacturing in- dustry follows closely after one re. cently announced by the woolen mills in Killingly, so all textile workers in the town will benefit with many thou- sands of others throughout New Eng- Iand. The extra money that will come to the workers after June 4 will help them make their fight against the tre- mendously high cost of living, but more than that, the workers are en- couraged by the fact that, through this war-time period, they are not be- ing forgotten by the mill operators, who have boosted wages in a surpris- ing way Quring the last fifteen months and up to a standard not thought pos. sible back in peace times.
