Wilson Is giving serious consideration
to the question of formal recognition

Thursday on the loan question con-
tanned no specific reference to the mat
ter OF recognition, although many Of
ficials here were Of the opinion that
China could find in it comfort and
hope Of early acknowledgement Of her

parently has not settled definitely the
question Of recognition and 1t was be-
lieved last night that several confer
ences on the subject and many meet
ings Of the cabinet would be necessary
before the administrations attitude is
defined. For many months past the
United States has dealt with the Chi
nese republic only as a de facto gov
ernment, and formal recognition is
largely a matter of sentiment. There
has been an American minister to-
China and Chinese minister in
Washington and they have had prac-
