Picking, June 25.-The loan negotiations
between the international bankers and the
Chinese government have been neither con-
cluded nor broken off. The Chinese gov
eminent is apparently endeavoring TO make
a bargain. A new proposal was recently
submitted TO the Minister Of Finance sug-
gesting a loan greatly exceeding 800 10000
The Minister Of Finance requested the
bankers TO communicate their terms which
! the bankers then drew Up in accordance
with the original arrangement with Tang
! Shao-Yi, providing for foreign supervision
Of the salt tax and practically the appoint
ment Of the international bankers as flnan-
ciaI agents for the Chinese government.
Hsiung- Hsi-LinC. the Finance Minister
thereupon objected. and declared he would
borrow only 100000 The group Of bank
ers told Hsiung- Hsl-IAng that there was
no desire to force a big loan on China, and
submitted To the headquarters Of its
banks the minister's proposal that FIVE
monthly advances, each OF 100000 taels
"a, 2OO.0 DO) should be made. and which
should be absorbable I'm the sterling loan.
1t is apparent that the forthcoming loan
negotiations will be lengthy and arduous.
The government Is confronted on the one
side with violent provincial opposition.
which opposes any supervision, and on the
other side by the group Of bankers, which
desires control extending considerably be-
yond what was required in previous ad-
vances.
1t is believed here that the governments
acceptance Of the bankers present pro-
posals would bring violent outburst OF
opposition on the part Of the people. The
government officials, however, arc confident
that some arrangement will be reached, as
there is dire need Of funds, particularly for
the payment OF troops
Opposition 10 the loan has created dan
gerous situation. The government also is
contcnding against serious growth OF
sentiment for provincial autonomy, threat
eniug central control, which is considered
essential TO the preservation OF the nation.
