independent OF political connection
The president asked Mr. Roa to-
prepare and submit 20 him memo
randum and promised to study the
question very carefully. Mr. Rca
pointed out that the objectionable fea-
lures Of the six power loan to which
China. herself, had objected were
those which concerned the internal

partner in any loan agreement which
by its terms might bind the United
states TO future programs of the pow

The policy of the United States has
been but partially announced. this
government thus far having given eN-
preston merely to IFS aversion 20 the
idea of interfering with China's in-
ternal affairs. That pronouncement

ious institutions have had I'm the rc-
generation OF China, and believes Mr..
Mott could be an important factor In
the harmonious discharge of the best
views OF the mission world with re-
spcct to china, and the Washington
administration as we'll with the ace

supplementary statement ON the
American attitude toward securing
