NO AGREEMENT YET
ON LOAN TO ALLIES
Foreign Commissioners and
American Bankers Still
Far Apart.
ALL YIELDING so FAR
is BY u. S. FINANCIERS
Now Disposed to Stand Firm for
Larger Profits and Exclusion
of Munitions.

NEW YORK. September 1S.-The end
of today's brief business session found
the situation virtually unchanged with
respect to the variance of opinion over
the proposed Anglo-French credit loan,
except perhaps that some of the Amer
lean financiers were adhering more
firmly TO the idea that banks subsc"ib-
ing to the big loan should receive
terms better than those given to the in
vestor.
over this and the matter of including
munitions of war within the scope OF
the loans operation there was stlll
marked difference of opinion between
some American bankers and the Anglo
French financial commission. These
bankers want TO have munitions eN-
cluded from the list of exports to be
paid from the proceeds of the loan- 1t
is reported, while the commission is
said to be of the opinion that muni-
tionS should be included.
