Hay notified the other powers that the United States considered adherence to the"" open door" policy as definite and final. This was formally acceded to by France, Hussia, Germany, Italy and Great Britain, and was later acceded to^Jn principle, by Japan. There is already a disposition among well in- formed persons to give to John Hay the credit for rescuing and again placing on its feet the "open door" doctrine, after England had tentatively abandoned it. I was in China when Mr. Hay died, and I... was then impressed with the tone of much press comment there, some of which even went so far as to say that but for the intervention of the illustrious American the "open door" doctrine would have perished. The foregoing brief state correspondence contains much of real significance. Why should Mr. Hay take such energetic action unless he thought the "open door" was seriously in danger! He was not given to meaningless effort. Why his anxiety to get the powers on record in writing? Can we assume that in his references to collection of duties in China, to port charges and railroad tariffs, and other such indi- rect but common means for commercial discrimi- nation he was merely firing in the air?
