PROMISES OF CHINESE
RECEIVE FULL CREDIT
This Government Not Worried Over
Matter Of Railway
Loan.

The State Department is not concerned
over the action of the Chinese govern
ment of Jenuary 30 last in issuing a
rescript ordering the imperial board Of
communications to consider the proposal
of the several provinces concerned to
build the railways involved in the dis
puted Hankow-Sze-Chuen loan. The
United States government did not see
fit to join with Great Britain, France
and Germany asking the Chinese gov
eminent for an explanation OF the re.
script, for the reason that the State
Department relies implicitly in the prom
Uses Of the imperial government of China
to allow this government full participa-
ton in the loan from which the roads
are to be constructed.
1t appears, however. that the other
three powers felt that their interests
In the proposed loan were not based on
assurances that were deemed conclusive
and hence their joint note Of protest
The State Department has no doubt that
the final outcome OF the whole matter
will be that the roads named will be
constructed. not as 1t has been suggested,
by a popular loan subscribed by the
Chinese provinces through which the
roads are to run, but with money sub
scribed by the leading powers. and that
the United States will be permitted to
fully share in such loan.
