BRYAN STILL HOPES
TO AID NICARAGUA
Secretary Plans Financial Re.
lief for the Debt Bur-
deped Republic.

WASH, SGTo> Jan. ~. In discussing
the finances 81 the Government Of Nicara-
qua. which despite the aid Of the United
states IA still heavily burdened with
foreign debt. Secretary Bryan said to-day
that the Washington Administration had
not yet barred from inclusion In its policy
the method urged by the Tan-knox
Administration for relieving Nicaragua
of European pressure for the payment Of
tn. debt
The loan convention negotiated with
Nicaragua. providing for the taking over
of the Nicaragua Indebtedness by Amer.-
can bankers with the strong support Of
the United tSates. represented the policy
Of the previous Administration.
In view OF the fact that the loan
convention with Nicaragua was fought
bitterly for two years by Senator Bacon
and other Democrats Mr.. Bryan's state
men. was received here with great interes,
and II was taken to mean that possibly
the treaty might be taken up by the
present Administration as n means to the
end desired
MIR Bryan has already demonstrated
that President Wilson ~ anxious to help
Nicaragua financially, even To the extent
OF dealing with American bankers but
because Of the Democratic attacks upon
the loan convention II had not been sup
posed there was any possibility OF It's
being approved by this Administration
even though 1t would accomplish the pur-
pose toward which Mr.. Bryan is working
The loan convention was denounced a.
the acme of dollar diplomacy" by the
Democrats
MIR Bryan admitted to-day that the
question of foreign claims against the
Government OF Nicaragua had beer
brought 10 his attention by one OF the
Interested Governments Dispatches
from Managua to-day said that Great
Britain. France and Germany had made
representations to the Nicaraguan Govern
ment. but Mr.. Bryan said that so far al
he was informed only one Government
mad acted
As Nicaragua has no money with whicf
10 pay the foreign claims 1t Is believed
the matter will not be discussed at Length
by any of the Governments concerned
Nicaragua got a loan Of 100000 severa
months ago. but every dollar OF thi'
was spoken for before II was received
OF this sum 100000 was applied b,
agreement to claims. but this sum wal
hardly a drop in the bucket The claim'
receiving preference under this agreemen
were those presented by Nicaraguans an'
/ were all for small amounts.
The foreign claims. in which are In
cuded the really large claims against IN
| Government. have not vet been touched
Until another loan Is obtained by Ntcara
qua there is no likelihood Of that Govern
ment being able to begin payment OF
them.
