JAP LOAN
 TO PAY FOREIGNERS

/ Tekie, Dee. 1e-Leading Japanese bankers have decided that a new. de- mestic loan should be raised to re- deem foreign leans,
 This decision is a result of the fact that Japan has about s366, 6,06G, ,66e in foreign loans which mature in ten years. The idea is that upon the con clusioR of the European war the monetary circulation of the world will become stringent owing to the financial readjustments of the powers concerned. How Japan should deal with the situation forms a difficult question. The bankers think it advis- able to raise a domestic loan with a view to redeening foreign loans while the money market is now in 8 slack condition. They think that the flo- tation of a domestic loan at this mo- Inent would not only help adjust for

ANOTHER CABINET
 CHANGE IN CHINA

Peking, Dec. 1o-Lu 'CheHg-hsiang, minister of foreign affairs, has been designated by the president to act as secretary of state during the siilness' of Hsu Shih-chang who has resisted all efforts to persuade him to re- main in office. The latter is generally regarded as being out of the cabinet, although no announcement has been made to this effect and none probably will be made until the n1enarchial question is settled.
 Hsu Shih-chang is opposed to the change in government. He was for merIy viceroy of Manchuria and held many other offices under the Manehu regime. He has regarded it as impos- sible to continue service under the prospective re-establishment of the monarchy. The service of two inn perial masters is unthinkable to the Chinese. Hence the unwillingness of

 Acting on this conclusion, the bank CTS will probably. make representa- tions to the government.
