say that our treatment by the Amcri-
can bankers has been completely salts
factory In every way. They have OBJ
served Il proper regard for American
interests. and have not tried TO exact
too much from us. The hesitancy dis :
PLAYED At first was natural. but not
serious. We had TO obtain and canvass
their views. and hope mutual salts
faction will be the result Of this loan.
e. In. regard 10 new loan of $500
100000 which has been reported. can
! say tina, there is nothing in that. We
have hardly begun to breathe yet after
the completion OF the first one. and il
