New York, Sept. IS—In the nego-1
tiaUou3 that are now going on to |
this city between the representa-1
tives of Great Britain and France
and American financiers for a
loan of on© billion dollars the ^
foreign commissioners, in the event
of the deal being consummated,!
■wish the money to go toward the
purchase of munitions of war, while j
the banking syndicates, which is to
furnish the cash, wants it spent on ■
lion-contraband articles only.
That an agreement satisfactory •
to both parties will be reached at
an early date there is not much
question. In fact, it is the solu
tion of the situation that New York
bankers have been begging
and praying for for the
last five weeks. Large pa
pers, including the World, Times,
and Herald and practically all of
the financial publications, are urg
ing that the loan be for $2,000,000,
000 because they claim that it will
require that amount to maintain
normal British values for British
exchange for a year.
