UNITED STATES AND CHINA
President Wilson with his Cabinet
have awakened the interest Of the
Powers of Europe by their expressed
declination to continue negotiations
for the s125,000, 900 loan in which
American bankers wish to have a
share. The bankers propose to seek
their share OF the loan only II re-
quested to do so by the Government.
The President and Cabinet consider
that the conditl ms of the loan weie
too closely connected with the admin
istrative Independence of China and
do not consider that the United States
should be a party to conditions that
might imply possible interference I'M
der certain contingencies on the part
Of the Government In the financial
and political affairs of China. The
purpose of the administration is to
favor tho open deer OF friendship and
mutual advantage. This position has
awakened a great deal CT interest
and some little surprise as it reverses
the position of the Taft admlnistra-
ton.

Mrs. Hudson's daughter, Miss Clara

daughter and that he repeatedly haA
been warned away from the North Az
