In connection with tie national
bank concession Haiti IS trying to
float loan to fund its In orior debt.
The course which will be adopted in
regard to Haitien bonds fl this rela-
ton is of interest to the United States
government because many American
creditors of Haiti have been paid in
bonds of that government. So if such
bonds are scaled down the PEOPLE who
received them on tho n IS of their
former value, in the opinion of the
state department, will have grounds
for claim in equity.
The possibility of American bankers
participating in the loan also causes
the state department to believe that
