hours of discussion. announced that
his administration had declined to
request the group of American bank
ers to continue their negotiations for
participation in the 1925, 900 loan

In his statement declining to give the

dent Wilson says:
eve are informed that at the re-
quest of the last administration
certain group of American bankers
undertook to participate in the loan
now desired by the government OF
China approximately $125,0OO,0OO).
Our government wished American
bankers to participate along with the
bankers of other nations, because 1t
desired that the good will of the
United States towards China should
be exhibited in this practical way,
that American capital should have
access to that great country, and that

any political responsibilities that
might be associated with the devel-
opment of the foreign relations of
China in connection with her indus
trial and commercial enterprises.
"The present administration has
been asked by this group of bankers
whether it would also request thens
to participate in the loan. The rep
resentatives of the bankers through
whom the administration was ap-
preached declared that they would
continue to seek their share of the
loan under the proposed agreements
only if expressly requested to do so
by the government. The administra-
ton has declined to make such re-
quest because it did not approve the
conditions of the loan or the implica-
tons of responsibility on it's own part
which it was plainly told would be in
volved in the request"

WILL ENFORCE LIQUOR LAW
MeReynolds Plans to Intervene In
First Good lest Case.

Washington, March 1S.-Attorney
General McReynolds has told Repre-
sentative Edwin Y Webb of North
Carolina, that the Department of
Justice intends to enforce the So
called Webb-Kenyon law governing
the interstate shipment of intoxicat-
ing liquors intended to be used in
violation of the laws of any State.
Mr.. Webb is the author of this law
and its purpose Is to prevent such
shipment of liquor by divesting 1t of
its character as an article of inter-
State commerce. The law applies to
shipments into wet" as well as into
dry" states.
Mr.. Webb visited the Department
OF Justice today and talked with the
Attorney General. Mr.. Webb under
stands that the Attorney General
will intervene in the first case that
is brought challenging the operation
of this law in any State so that when
the matter is carried forward to the
Supreme Court. in test case, the
Government will be fully represented.
such an opportunity may come with
in the next few weeks. Soon after
the enactment of the Webb Kenyon
act liquor dealers at Richmond. Va.
instituted court proceedings to com.
pei an express company to accent
whiskey offered for shipment into
South Carolina. Judge Waddell re-
fused to grant an order at the request
OF the liquor shippers. Judge Gary
OF the South Carolina State Court IN
a later proceedings held. in connec-
ton with an application for a tempo
rary restraining order, that the State
liquor laws of South Carolina did not
prohibit the receipt and possession by
individuals of liquor intended for
their personal use. Under this con-
struction of the South Carolina law
1t would not be a violation of the
Webb-Kenyon law to ship LIQUOR in.
to that State when the liquor was in.
tended for the personal use of the
person receiving IL.
Mr.. Webb said tonight he under.
stood that the liquor dealers in Rich.
mond who instituted the original
court proceedings contemplated re.
newing their application in a different
form, and would allege that the ex
press company refused to receive
shipments Of liquor into a State
where its use and possession were
prohibited by State law. This would
squarely raise the issue for a test
case. Representative WEBB was told
by Attorney General McReynolds thai
