opinion Of financial authorities, be

Washington would not interfere.
The two chief obstacles that seem.
ed to appear obvious we're the ques.
ton whether Washington would re-
gard unfavorably the issuance of a
loan based on British and French gov.
eminent bonds as being unneutral,
and whether the banks of America
could assimilate such loan without

Another bit of evidence that Ertle
