END OF LOAN GROUP
HELPS UNITED STATES

WASHINGTON Sept. 2e-That the
dissolution of the five power loan
group, SO far as industrial loans to
China are concerned. will precipitate
general scramble in China. was the
opinion expressed today following
the announcement In London of the
breaking. up of this financial relation
ship.
While the United States has been
far removed from active interest In
Chinese finances since President VIII
sons refusal to ask the American
bankers TO continue in the group, II
is believed that the action taken by
the five powers will open the way TO
the advantage of American financial
and commercial interests. The five
powers enjoyed practically a monop-
oily on all loans OF whatever charac-
ter, which China might desire. and
this prevented any American bank
ers from getting a share of the vast
amount of new business and indus
trial financing being opened up in
China.

MINISTER OF WAR CONFIRMS
THE FIRST REPORT AND
GIVES REASONS.

MEXICO CITY. Sept. cs.--General
banquet the minister of war, said
today:
In spite of assertions TO the con-
trary. did cable General PorHric
Diaz on Friday TO come home. The
summons was in the nature of a re-
quest. or invitation 10 the aged war
rior, to return to his country In an
active military capacity. 1t Is under
stood that General Diaz has on many
occasions expressed his desire to re-
turn TO Mexico, and the war depart
ment wishes TO give him the oppor-
tunity TO do SO.
General Porfirio Diaz's recall has
been one Of courtesy rather than an
order. The army regulations en-
power the war department to recall
officers on the retired list to active
service only in case of foreign war,
General Diaz therefore, is under no
obligations to come unless he so
wishes ! offered him any command
or commission which he should
designate, II he came"
Senior Gamboa. the former minister
Of foreign affairs. and the nominee Of
the Catholic party for the presidency,
said in speaking OF the invitation TO
General Dihz TO return:
The summons is one more proof
that justice exists and that this nation

arch"

CURRENCY BILL PROVISION TO
SAVE MILLIONS FOR AMERI-
CANS ABROAD.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.--The saw
ing of millions of dollars each year
is predicted as a result of the pro-
vision in The administration currency
bill permitting national banks of the
United States to establish branches
abroad.
IT is declared that American ex-
porters have been paying an annual
tribute of millions OF dollars to Euro
pean banks h9ving branches in the
countries with which the United States
trades most This is especially true
Of conditions in South ana Central
America, The leaders In South
Am erican trade, with whom Ameri-
cans are engaged In the severest COM
petition, are Great Britain. Germany
and Italy. All of these countries have
banks in the South American coun-
tries, through which the American
exporter must DO business Not only
have these banks reaped tremendous
profits cut of the business, but there
IS a vast amount of evidence to show
thar they deliberately endeavor to cut
throat their American competitors
II has been repeatedly shown that
banks handling invoice of American
exports TO South America copy the IN
formation as to prices etc, contained
therein, and pass on such Information
tn exporters of their own nationality,
This, ot course, puts the American at
a tremendous disadvantage, as it puts
in the hands of his competitor all
confidential knowledge about his bust
ness, on the basis of which the for
eIgner can go ahead and cut in on the
American trade.
1t is believed that the branch
banks which the currency bill con-
templates will prove Of inestima Die
yaiUe as sources of information alone.
Representative Buckley, of oh ., is
che Of the members of the majority
party in the house. who have given
this matter some attention. and he
has reached the conclusion that the
provisions for branch banks abroad
is one of the strongest arguments in
favor of the pending BILL
